ChainStaff

ChainStaff is an imperfect but incredibly inspired game. An action platformer that takes the best of a bygone era and reimagines it with a visual imagination that’s rare in today’s landscape. It has obvious flaws, including a fluctuating pace, a few too many frustrations, and a less than perfect readability. But it also has something that many more polished games lack: a strong, recognizable, and continually surprising vision. It’s a game that dares, exaggerates, and fails, but never ceases to be interesting. And in a market full of well-crafted but soulless works, that’s quite a feat.
