    Los programadores de Medievil han conseguido una proeza y es que este remake salvo por el lavado de cara gráfico es peor que el original. Lamentable.

    I don't get all the critic hate for this game. My only gripe for this game is the camera can work against you a lot of the time. Other than that it's basically a pretty version of the game I remember. I personally loved it. Maybe they will patch in a rework for the camera at some point.

    Seriously, avoid this travesty. I stupidly bought it even after playing the demo, I thought surely the full game would be better. I was wrong. This will be on PS plus within months, as nobody in their right mind will buy it if they read reviews, me being a moron had it preordered.

    MediEvil took me around 13 hours to complete and if youre not used to this old school style of gameplay, is a tough 13 hours to get through…
    Here youll be playing as Sir Daniel Fortesque as he sets out to stop the evil zarok raising the dead and tainting the souls. This is a hack and slash action adventure game where each level youll be slaying enemies, discovering secrets, and taking down bosses on your journey to take down zarok and prove yourself in the hall of heroes… each level has a percentage of souls needed to fill a chalice, this gives you the urge to ctually want to engage in combat despite how frustrating it proves to be… as collecting this chalice and then making it to the end of the level rewards you with the possibility of a new weapon, each increasingly becoming more powerful and useful… its this exploration and mystery that keep medieval from becoming too much.. every level here feels fresh and verried from start to finish.. no two levels feels the same, many will even surprise you and all this is necessary because of the old school nature of medievil, beause though the graphics have been brought up to date, the gameplay has not… every level plays by perma death rules, meaning there are no save or checkpoints.. if you die in a level no matter how far you get, you have to start the level from the very beginning with what you enter this level with.. which can prove challenging as you aren’t replenished health at the beginning of these levels.. though there is a way to cheese this by returning to dans crypt over and over before a new level.. I feel as though the player shouldn’t have to do this though.. filling my lives before a level should just be standard… to add to the difficulty, though the platforming feels a bit more modern.. it still has that old school cheap I have no control feel, leading to many cheap deths and game overs as falling doesn’t just take say 50 to 100 damage, it takes an entire life from you… which of course leads to many frustrating moments and a few frustrating levels where the platforming is just awful and nothing is below to catch you… on top of all of this, there is little to no indication of you taking damage, no sense of enemy range… taking the hack and slash genre a little too literall.. youll find yourself button mashing your way through levels if you don’t care to stick to range attacks..needless to say there will be a handful of levels youll be replaying.. when you can get past all of this frustration though, medievil proves to be a great and satisfying adventure, one that encourages exploration, combat and challenge, Altering the mechanics and systems to todays standards could make this an even more enjoyable experience, but sometimes we all need a little old school frustration

The frame rate can feel horrible at times, the camera is clunky, there are so few checkpoints when needed (such as before a difficult boss fight) which leads to a lot of frustrating replaying and backtracking. The game just feels OLD still, like a visually upgraded PS1 game, with no issues fixed. I feel like they could’ve done a lot more to modernize this game. LIKE PUTTING IN MORE CHECKPOINTS!! Sometimes you’ll need a shield, such as this one level where you must search these underground corridors for items, and you’ll find nothing. It can also be difficult, and not a fair kind of difficult. The game can be awesome at times, the characters are really unique, the design of the world is incredible, but still. Sometimes the visuals are razor sharp and quick, but other times, the textures and frame rate are abysmal. For $30 I’d say it’s a good pickup for collectors, but if you don’t have any nostalgia for this series, I’d say skip it. Or at least prepare yourself for some frustration instead. Get Crash Team Racing instead, it’s a much better remake than this.… Expand

    This game did not age well. The gameplay mechanics are dated, the hit detection is poor, the objectives are not fun to do, the difficulty is uneven, and the checkpoint system is atrocious.

    A decent enough game that's ruined a bit too much by dodgy controls, terrible ranged weapon targeting and poor platforming. Had all this stuff been tight then the difficulty of starting a level with the little health you finished the last one could have been forgiven, but it just makes a game you dont really want to play, take longer.

El problema que tiene este remake para mi es que es excesivamente difícil. Tienes una pociones que actúan como depósitos de vida. Es decir, que si te mueres, se usa la poción de vida para restaurar la vida al completo. ¿Cual es el problema? Que los enemigos son muy difíciles de derrotar (hablo de los enemigos normales) y claro, mantener las distancias sería lo ideal, pero tienes una espada con poca fuerza y un arco con pocas flechas y poco potente. Entonces, cuando te enfrentas cara a cara a otro enemigo normal, a veces supone perder casi la mitad de la vida si eres descuidado con las distancias y el tiempo de reacción. Tu mejor baza entonces es huir de los enemigos en vez de enfrentarte a ellos. Lo peor de todo es que las pociones de vida escasean por todo el juego. Y no solo eso. Si mueres, no reapareces en un «checkpoint». Con lo cual, ya desde el primer momento estás jugando en modo «Muy difícil», porque si tomas malas decisiones y pierdes en un nivel, vuelves hasta el principio del nivel de nuevo, y pierdes todo lo que has coleccionado (llaves, pociones, etc.) A mi esto personalmente me cabrea mucho, porque el original era así también, y en vez de cambiarlo, lo dejaron lo más fiel al original posible. A pesar de esos fallos, hay muchas cosas positivas de este juego. Los diálogos están muy bien (sobretodo si lo juegas en español, las voces imitan el castellano antiguo para darle un toque más medieval), la trama engancha y el villano tiene bastante carisma. Los niveles están muy bien diseñados y lo dicho, es muy fiel al original. Si este remake lo hubieran hecho para mejorar de paso el juego a nivel de jugabilidad, le daría un 6/10 por lo que comenté de las pociones. Pero, como se trata de un remake que quiere mantener el núcleo de la jugabilidad intacto y ser lo más parecido posible al original, en ese caso le tengo que dar un 10/10 porque lo han clavado. Y el rendimiento a nivel gráfico del juego en PS4 es bueno. Podría ser mejor, pero no es malo.… Expand

    A very true to the original remake that doesn't let the game shine like it could have been if it implemented new mechanics and gameplay beyond collectibles that make you do a second run on the game to unlock the original version emulated in game, a niche game for the fans of the original and its game style fanatics that likely doesn't please everyone.

Una aventura que mezcla géneros, como el hack and slash, la exploración, los puzzles y las plataformas con una estética de terror inspirada en halloween. Encarnamos a Sir Daniel Fortesque, un personaje icónico en el mundo de los videojuegos, un torpe caballero que en vida lideró las defensas del reino de Gallowmere contra la invasión de las huestes el malvado nigromante Zarok. No le fue del todo bien al bueno de Daniel, que aunque lo intentó con valentía, murió a las primeras de cambio atravesado por una flecha en su ojo. No obstante, la amenaza fue rechazada por sus compañeros, pero años despues Zarok vuelve con más fuerza, levantando a los muertos, entre ellos a Daniel, que defenderá, ahora sí, su muerto reino de la maldad y los oscuros planes de Zarok.

    Se trata del segundo remake de este clásico exclusivo de Sony. El primero se denominó MediEvil Resurrection y salió en exclusiva para PSP. No lo he jugado, por lo que no lo puedo comparar. Pero sí que jugué y bastante el original de PS1. Lo que tenemos aquí es básicamente el mismo juego con un lavado de cara inmenso. Los gráficos se han hecho de 0, esa es la principal novedad del remake, porque lo demás, salvo alguna cosa que se me escape es exactamente lo mismo. Mismos recorridos, enemigos, jefes..... dificultad y jugabilidad. No se ha pulido esta ni lo más mínimo, el control es calcado, y con ello tambien han calcado algunos defectos del juego original. Como por ejemplo, que pierdas al final de un nivel la última de tus vidas contra el jefe, al que te ha costado sangre, sudor y lágrimas llegar y de una hostia te mate y tengas que volver a empezar porque el sistema de guardado es como antaño, solo graba cuando sales del nivel triunfante. Ojo si sales antes de salir triunfante no graba, al loro, lo pierdes todo. ¿Este hecho hace que el juego sea una mierda? Para nada, el juego es original y bastante bueno y un clásico por derecho propio. De hecho tambien hay que mencionar la sensación de logro que produce superar o desatascar ese nivel en el que llevas días preguntándote por la estrategia correcta, qué haces mal, por qué te matan con tanta facilidad.

    Como todos los juegos MediEvil hay que entenderlo. A su manera tiene un sistema de progresión. Es indispensable explorar correctamente, matar a todos los enemigos del nivel, esto es, llenar todos los cálices de los niveles para obtener las mejoras de armas, items y vida que otorgan. No es una misión secundaria, para nada, es casi obligatorio porque de lo contrario de ese nivel puñetero no pasas. La exploración es una mecánica esencial en este título. Es cierto que los escenarios son como pequeños laberintos a veces, pero ahí está tambien la gracia, si pusieran un pasillo desde el inicio hasta el jefe sí que sería una puta mierda, ¿no?

    En definitiva tenemos un buen juego, no una obra maestra. Puede que lo llegara a ser en PS1, pero actualmente la jugabilidad puede resentirse y verse como anticuada. Eso sí, el apartado artístico es impecable, desde la estética de pelí de terror de animación para halloween, hasta la música que suena sublime todo el juego. Hay niveles cuyo diseño os llamarán poderosamente la atención, hay imaginación y mucha en MedieEvil. Si conoces el clásico de PS1 y la nostalgia te puede, pruébalo, te va a gustar. De lo contrario, dependerá de tu tolerancia con ciertas limitaciones heredadas de la versión original que puede que no sean del gusto de los jugadores más modernos.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. MediEvil is flawed but fun remake of 1998 classic, MediEvil. Compared to other remakes on PS4 such as Ratchet & Clank (which also a bit of re-imagining), MediEvil sticks very true to its source material, which is major positive. What is not a positive is some dated mechanics it keeps intact, such going back to previous levels just to re-fill health, which is not good game design, it wasn't in the 1990s, and its worse in 2010s. Mechanics such as this offer no challenge, just waste your time. The game also looks really good a lot of times in the graphics, art-style and resolution departments, sometimes rivaling other major "cartoony" gaming IPs, although the resolution on some objects its lower than things around it (for example a single character on screen appears to be lower resolution than another character on screen and/or the background). I also appreciate the devs attempting to target 60fps... unfortunately, the game often suffers some of worst framerate drops I've seen in a game this gen.

    Overall the game is held up by fun gameplay, interesting level design, great progression system, charming world and characters, neat music, and overall 1990s game design that is sorely missed in 1910s, even if the remake stumbles in more areas than it should.

    One other thing this game has going for it, is the original game from which the remake is based off is present in the game as an award for completing a side-quest (this is new to the remake). Very few remakes although you to play the original, so props off to the developers who really cared about this project.    … Expand

    Un clásico, muy buena historia, jugabilidad y gráficos. Nivel de dificultad y puzzles perfectos. Buena banda sonora también. Escenarios increibles. La única pega es que un argumento tan bueno debería estar más presente a lo largo del juego y se debería haber explotado más la epicidad,

There is a wide range of different kinds of levels and they're all relatively short and not too hard. A few of them were a little annoying and made me wish they had some kind of check point though. That's because those levels were a little bit more involved. They have the player backtrack or look for items in different areas to progress. If you die, you'd have to start all over again. Some levels could have used a little more guidance on what the objective was to complete them too.

    Controls are janky. You'll be taking hits from enemies when you think you shouldn't. I wasn't sure if certain weapons were weaker or stronger than others. I figured if it was a new weapon then it must be better than what I had currently, but sometimes enemies would still take a bunch of hits. Maybe there should have been some kind of description of strength level in the inventory? Also the targeting when using long range weapons is bad because there is NO targeting so you can't just run and gun while you run away. You have to be facing your target.

    The camera gets horrendous at times. Sometimes it feels too zoomed in or out. So you might take some unnecessary hits from an enemy you can't see off screen.

    Overall, it's an okay game but it has some problems that should have been fixed for the PS4 remake.    … Expand

    Very fun game to play but there were a few glitches they could’ve done with sorting out. Can understand why people who played the PS1 version gave it 9/10 out of 10. I didn’t get the chance to play the game much on PS1, so the remaster was my first time playing it properly. Overall, solid 7/10 in my opinion.

    Decent action platformer with gameplay similar to Ratchet and Clank or the old Maximo games on the PS2. It has some light platforming, puzzles, and RPG elements along with the combat mixed together in an agreeable stew of gameplay.

    The OST is as good as the original, you will instantaneously love it if you like Danny Elfman's work .
    The clear drawbacks on this title are his clunky PS1 controls and his horrible camera system, that will cost you more life bottles and game overs than the enemies. I can more or less understand that they have not included a "Z targeting" system to be true to the original and have the funny "smash square while running " combats but why on earth keep the fix camera that make the slippery platforms almost a souls-like?

    The downside of the game is lost souls. SPOILER, we unlock the lost souls in the Advent last table and to have them all, you have to redo all the tables a 2nd time and in a specific order, to unlock the MediEvil PS1 version. Ok great, but the game is in English too bad.

    Tiene un encanto especial Medievil, es un juego con un claro toque tenebroso, donde el protagonista se enfrenta a enemigos clasicos de peliculas de terror, pero todo con un aire desenfadado (hasta infantil se podria decir). Resulta divertido de jugar con ganas de ver el proximo entorno al que te enfrentas, pero le falta un reto jugable superior ya que al final uno escoge la mejor arma blanca o de distancia y no hace mayores analisis de estrategia antes los enemigos. El juego falla claramente en el plataformeo y en la camara. Sir Daniel Fortesque tiene carisma y uno entiende el impacto alla en 1998, pero no lo veo para hacer una saga o tercera entrega con estos mimbres, algo debiles para aguantar mas de una entrega.    … Expand

    More than 20 years after its released on PlayStation 1, Medievil is back from the dead on PS4. Unfortunately, it looks much more like a remastered version than a full fledged remake. It shines with colorful graphics and spooky atmosphere, but its gameplay remains too rigid, and its mechanics haven't aged well. A title reserved for fans of the license or lovers of Halloween and «The Nightmare Before Christmas».
