    For some, the grind, lack of continued narrative and difficulty curve will be a little off-putting to say the least, but at the end of the day, this is a rogue-like experience that brings an original adventure and a decent challenge that will keep you going for some time.

    Airheart is great in short bursts, but because of the lack of any save feature, the title quickly becomes unenjoyable and a pointless grind that most gamers would give up on pretty quickly unless they are an achievement hunter looking for a new title to max out on.

    Airheart mixes shoot'em and roguelike mechanics with a very nice art style, but unlikely standard roguelikes it feels over-punishing when we're beaten, making us lose hours of precious progress, and it's way too easy to accidentally shoot at civilians thus being targeted by overwhelming police forces. It would benefit from some balancing.

    A game that has good ideas and will make us enjoy thanks to the beauty of its scenery and its great soundtrack. Sadly, the game seems repetitive and the excessive time we'll have to spend collecting makes the magic of the title in other facets disappear.

    Airheart isn’t a bad game, but it could have been much more than what it is if the developer had spent more time refining the gameplay’s systems to better feed into one another. The end result makes for an experience that sounds more compelling in description than it actually is in practice. Still, with its difficulty spikes, its squandered potential and its lack of story to the side, there’s some fun to be had here.

    The crafting system is very enjoyable you do have to grind quite a lot to get the best equipment and upgrades. When played for long periodsThe crafting system is very enjoyable you do have to grind quite a lot to get the best equipment and upgrades. When played for long periods the game does get repetetive quite quickly, so I would recommend that you only play this game in short bursts. The difficulty curve can be a little too high at times and you will no doubt get frustrated with the game every now and then. Does Airheart: Tales of Broken Wings do enough to get a recommendation from me? The biggest attraction with Airheart: Tales of Broken Wings is its wacky and unique core idea because there aren’t too many games if any at all that offer you the chance to do some skyfishing. This isn’t its only mechanic though and you’ll be surprised by how many different ideas have been thrown together and thankfully for the most part they work well together. I would however recommend that you play this game in short bursts though because it does get repetetive quite quickly and the constant grinding can make things become a little tedious. That being said for the most part I enjoyed my time with Airheart: Tales of Broken Wings and if you’re looking for a game that offers you a unique experience then you can do far worse than this game.… Expand
