Our Main character Palagi wants nothing more in the world than for his father Tangi to let him become a Man. Becoming a Man is a rite of passage and the steps to becoming a Man include several trials and tests to prove the type of Man you are Physically and Mentally as well as the final Physical portion which includes venturing off into the dangerous Forest filled with the wild Wa'Kine Tribe who attack their very existence. While in the dangerous forest you must collect the perfect log and an Oataota Plant which the tribe elders will then make into the ink that will be used to give the new Man his first TATUA which makes the becoming a Man ceremony official. Being a Man of the tribe especially the Cheif involves spending days in the forest fighting off and keeping the Wa'Kine tribe and other enemies away from the village and tribes people.
Young Palagi finishes his chores early one day while his Mother is away and goes off into the woods to find his father who is fighting off the dangers and evil who would attack their tribe if given the opportunity. He finds his Father and tells him he wants to become a man and for some reason unlike the many many other times he said now he allowed Palagi to take on the first challenge almost as if he expected him to fail so they could go home and his point would be proved that Palagi is not yet ready to be a Man. Tangi's plan is suddenly ruined when Palagi is able to Skywalk and do other magical things that only Tribe Men are able to do so he agrees it is time for Palagi to become a man and they set off on their journey to start the process and rite of passage of Palagi becoming a MAN. Father and Son take the process step by step seeing the Tribe elders and then going to find the special Log and Oataota plant to make the Ink for Palagi's first Tatua but because the Forest has recently been getting over run with evil the Oataota Plant Palagi picks is glowing bright red with a sort of aura around it. By the time they get back and the Tribe elder and Father ask Palagi if it was red infused with evil and that they could go get another safer plant another day Palagi being too excited ends up Lying and saying that it was not Red. The Tribe elder makes his ink with the Ash from the log and the Oataota Plant and begins Palagi's first Tatua but Palagi is in much more pain than he should be yelling out even yelling through his Fathers words to fight it off but they soon realize things are much worse than they thought and Palagi is in much more danger than they ever could have expected.
The Games story take a sudden turn at this point, a true plot twist and this left me in awe not really knowing how to feel at this point since everything up to this point was so light and funny especially the banter back and forth between Father and Son.
I went on playing SKYKEEPERS and through the stories twists and turns I found a game with a story that really held a tight grip on me. I could nto put the controller down until I new what was going to happen next. When you play SKYKEEPERS for yourself you will learn the fate of Palagi, Tangi and the Tribe but for now I felt it was important to not give any more story details and let them unfold for you for the first time so you can feel what I felt.
Over all SKYKEEPERS is an incredibly well developed game and the story is in line with some of the best games I have ever had the pleasure to play. My Nalyo Gaming Quick Review Rundown Score for SKYKEEPERS is an 8.5 / 10 (Great).… Expand
