Apr 11, 2023Saga of Sins is an action platformer with some nostalgic tones of some of the old Disney platformers on the 16-bit consoles. The sinister vibe of the story is amplified but the interesting stained glass window graphics. The gameplay is alright but nothing too memorable apart from some tricky boss fights. The voice acting although commendable needed some work and the accents and tone used kill the game’s vibe at times.

May 1, 2023We haven’t played many Old Testament platformers with a hint of Altered Beast, so Saga of Sins tops that particular league table. But against all our other criteria, Saga of Sins is merely passable.

Mar 29, 2023The only thing I really loved about Saga of Sins was the graphics and art style. The combat was passable but overall just felt very simple for my taste and maybe it was the fact the game focused on the seven deadly sins but I kept getting a Dante’s Inferno vibe. Delving into a world presented in stained glass only to save the town that is stained in sin is some clever wordplay but even with the great graphics and art style, Saga of Sins just didn’t do it for me. I did enjoy the innocent levels more than the action-oriented ones but even that isn’t enough to save this one’s soul in my opinion.

Mar 29, 2023Saga of Sins looks good. Its use of the stained glass window art style is its only redeeming feature, though. The gameplay is atrocious, and the level design is no better. The voice acting and music are passable at this price point, but I can’t recommend this game to anyone in good faith.

Mar 31, 2023Saga of Sins is a fascinating, although too short discovery, both culturally and historically, for those who are interested in this period. The gameplay does not revolutionise the genre but remains sufficiently sober and efficient for an old-fashioned action game. Jerome Bosch greatly inspired the studio members, who paint a striking picture of mundane Christian guilt in the Late Middle Ages. The gates of Hell have never seemed so close, in this seemingly God-forsaken village that reveals the worst of humanity.
