Karmaflow: The Rock Opera Videogame - Act I & Act II reviews

Translated by
Microsoft from Deutsch
So in advance: I'm not going through with the first Act yet, but have just finished the first World. And I figured I could give a first Impression at first. I didn't belong to the People who were put away by the bad Reviews, because I was thrilled by the Music and the Idea. Graphic: I think that's a Matter of Taste. If you expect a High-End Graphics title, you're definitely wrong here, but I personally find the Graphics coherent, imaginative and it conveys the World quite passable. Control: Simple and actually very quick to learn, as the little Karma Keeper can't do much except bounce, glide, Double Jump and a Roll (so far). Jump Passages: I had no Problems in the first World because I find the Controls very precise. Story: I find them very interesting, even that is always sung at Plot, I think is more than super done. All right, it's nothing groundbreaking, but I think it's really nicely staged. In addition, you can pick up small red Splinters in the World that tell you something about the Background of the Story musically. Sound: I think that's, of course, the Best Aspect of the whole Game. Quite honestly: Even if you can't do anything with the Game, the Soundtrack is worth the Money. I bought the Deluxe Version, just so that I can own every little Track. You shouldn't be fooled by the Title, because even if it's "Rock," the Music is anything but "just" Rock. Metal Sizes From very different Genres sing together here. I never thought I'd ever hear the Arch Enemy singer and Dragonforce singer sing in such An outstanding Duet. And that's just been the first World. Folks: If you can only start with Metal, you should already have access for the Music. Bugs: Well, I'll admit that they're the GRUND for this Review. Since I almost got a Tobobist Attack. SPOILER INCOMMING! To name just one of these, at the End of the first World you have the Opportunity to choose between the Muse and the Conductor. I already knew the GEGEN the Muse option and wanted to "see" what happens if I decide to reunite the two. What is? It doesn't work. The small Part simply does not react when you click Right and try to extracte. I haven't seen anywhere yet that who did that. Am I the only diabolic one that tried this? Can't I imagine if I'm honest. I also "died" at the Site, which Meant that the Storm Trees that had been there before (before Time stopped). Only that one could not see. That was beyond annoying. So I was forced to let the Muse die, even if I didn't want to. I will try whether it is related to the previous Decision. Even if I don't believe that. I hope that these Things will be fixed, that such Little Things will slow down the Fun of the Game. Or that you "get stuck" if you contest a Flight Scene and then you don't take the Exit properly. Good thing that with the Muse annoys me more though, since I was quite thinking of looking at all the Options. Nevertheless, I would encourage the Game to Anyone in music of this Kind. Yes, it is far from perfect, but I am very happy to support such a Project, as really new and beautiful Concepts are rare in today's Game industry.
