    I expected Mecho Tales on Xbox One to be a bad take on a good formula, but it proved me wrong. Instead, it provided a fun couple of hours of an unimpactful yet joyous action platformer which should attract anybody looking for a unique art style. It is an indie game which has the self-awareness to know what to accomplish from a gameplay point of view, but not perhaps from a storytelling perspective.

With sometimes infuriating gameplay due to awkwardly placed enemy monsters and small movement space ensures the simplest of baddies can put up quite a challenge. Be prepared for losing life simple enemies, dying a few times and raging at the lack of a checkpoint system or at the brutally harsh insta death spikes. With bosses at just the 2nd level and no sign or being able to upgrade your drone or yourself prior to this makes this inital meeting very annoying aided bu the fact of no visible HP bar to tell you how close you are. I personally found the controls to have a slight delay even taking into account input delay or running wired. Shooting from your drone to kill baddies uses the right analog stick and I personally found this quite clumsy and felt like shooting required more finesse than your movements allow. I have known this method to work in other games, but for me here it just wasn't clicking or felt natural. This game does have it's shortcomings as is so often the case when ideas like this are meshed together and end up not executing well. Oddly enough once you look past what is not right the gameplay can at times be quite entertaining. I'd say pick this one should you be looking to add something to add to game library cheaply but not expecting much.… Full Review »

    The worst game I've ever played. This is a huge huge mountain of crap. Please don't buy it and save your soul.

It get's a 1 for the fact it looks nice, but the visuals are almost too vibrant, i often found it hard to see what was going on because everthing seemes to blur into one way too colourful mess, although that might just be my eyes/brain. The gameplay is an aweful "run & gun" where you're shooter thing is impossible to aim especially as he moves depending on where you are.
    The opening level has NO checkpoints and is almost the hardest level of the game, it felt like I was playing Dark Souls in platform form, especially when I then got to the first boss which was equally stupidly hard. But then the next few levels were sooo much easier it's ridiculous, did no one play test this to check these things!? and no it's nothing to do with the the fact you get upgrades, because you can't upgrade anything useful (well at all really) you can just by new, all mostly useless weapons. You may as well just buy the "rocket launcher" type thing and the one that splits as it hits.
    I bought this on sale for 90p and felt ripped off, I truelly hated it.    … Full Review »
