    Noitu Love: Devolution is an action sidescroller that is full of action and that makes a good use of the 3DS and Wii U controls at delivering it. Its action might get too confusing at times but that is a small price to pay for a game that is rich in content and beautifully crafted, even if a bit short at times.

    Noitu Love Devolution it's a pretty fun game, it is very similar to games made by Treasure like Gunstar Heroes or Alien Soldier, because thereNoitu Love Devolution it's a pretty fun game, it is very similar to games made by Treasure like Gunstar Heroes or Alien Soldier, because there is a ton of action on the screen every second and a ton of bosses, but with a pretty unique control scheme, which uses the mouse and Keyboard/Wiimote/Wii U and 3DS Touchscreen, so you have to click on the screen to attack. This can feel weird at the begginning but it's pretty well executed on the 3 gameplay styles the game has: beat em up, where you go fying all over the screen pounching enemies like if it is Dragon Ball Z, Run and Gun and Light Gun, all of them are pretty fun and over all the game never stop and it's a blast to play, also the 16 or 32 bit style it has it's pretty cool even if the horizontal resolution it's not complete, and the art style it's als pretty distinctive.

    The main issues with this game are that it is really short, the second and third gameplay styles feel incomplete because they have less levels and bosses than the first, the music it's not bad but really nothing especial , and the difficulty it's for the most part very low for this kind of game, except the final boss, which is a notorious difficulty spike, and while the game has a hard mode, it mostly just adds limited continues, something that doesn't really make the game harder but more restrictive.

    Regardless of this issues, this is a really fun game and I partiularly enjoyed using the Wiimote on the Wii U version as a fan of many point based game on the Wii, so if you have the console and a Wiimote I recomend this game a lot, and if you don't the touch controls are fine. This is a must have for sidescroller action fans.    … Full Review »
