  • Summary: Aeon Must Die! turns the beat-em-up genre on its head introducing breakneck risk-reward gameplay, innovative tactical fighting favoring brains over reflexes, and an RPG alignment system that tracks how you behave as a warrior and changes the challenge and story accordingly. The ruthless,Aeon Must Die! turns the beat-em-up genre on its head introducing breakneck risk-reward gameplay, innovative tactical fighting favoring brains over reflexes, and an RPG alignment system that tracks how you behave as a warrior and changes the challenge and story accordingly. The ruthless, grim but colorful world looks and feels like that ridiculous action-packed anime VHS tape your parents heavily disapproved of. Go on a violent journey with a disgraced symbiotic emperor, a fuel-blooded amnesiac with a hole in his head and a sentient hoverbike.… Expand

    Aeon Must Die looks great in action, and has a fantastic soundtrack. For players who gel with the game’s combat, they’re likely to keep coming back to see the story through to its end. With multiple endings on offer, they might even return, too. It’s just a shame that for many, Aeon Must Die will prove to be a confusing and sometimes overly punishing experience that doesn’t quite fulfil on its potential.

    Aeon Must Die is a complex and sprawling beat ’em up. Even with its initial learning curve, there is no denying that it presents a genuine evolution of the genre and for that, it should be applauded. The beat ’em up genre is one that seldom presents ideas and concepts as fresh and punishing as this, so on that basis alone, Aeon Must Die is something that is definitely worth checking out for those with even a passing interest in the genre.

    I’m torn on this one… the graphics / art style, the soundtrack, the story and the actual animations are all pretty badass to me!!! But thatI’m torn on this one… the graphics / art style, the soundtrack, the story and the actual animations are all pretty badass to me!!! But that combat system….
    Oh. My. God. I feel like if I can just master it I can actually enjoy the game but I have really been sitting here for days and I just can’t wrap my head around balancing this heat and cold meter at the bottom of the screen!!!
    No health meter, just a balance meter and if it goes too much either way you die in ONE HIT!!!
    That was a REEEEELY dumb idea.
    It’s actually a deal breaker and ruins the game for me completely.
    I hope they either patch this out or the original creators of this game create something far better and ABANDON this heat cold meter idea. It doesn’t work…. At all.
    And this is coming from someone who desperately wants to enjoy this game but is unable to due to the gameplay mechanics.    … Expand
