Story

Flynn: Son of Crimson takes us to the fantasy land of Rosantica. Its inhabitants enjoyed a peaceful life as long as there was a barrier separating it from the dark dimension called The Scourge. The dam is now bursting and Rosantica is gradually succumbing to the hellish forces ruled by the evil Lord Zealock. During the game we play as Flynn, an orphan gifted with magical abilities. The protagonist is burdened with the difficult task of stopping The Scourge's expansion before it is too late.

Screen Rant: 4 / 5 by Jacob Zeranko

There are some fun nods to its inspirations, such as having an area puzzle that mirrors the Ocarina of Time's Lost Woods puzzle; it even has a race and city called "Neptyn" that look a lot like the Zora and an un-frozen Zora's Domain respectively. While these references are clear, both in its design and gameplay, Flynn: Son of Crimson has a very defined sense of identity and has many unique features that set it apart from its inspirations. Flynn: Son of Crimson is absolutely worth checking out as every second spent in its beautifully designed world is one well spent.

Thumb Culture: 4 / 5

Pixel platformers may be a dime a dozen, but this is a shiny sovereign. The formula may be familiar, but familiar is always a comfort. Flynn: Son of Crimson is a beautiful platforming adventure brimming with charm that will win you over no matter how many similar titles you’ve played. The gameplay is sleek, the pixels are crunchy and the story is full of heart. Every time you play, you’ll find yourself going “Just one more level. Just one more relic…”

Video Chums: 8.5 / 10 by A.J. Maciejewski

Flynn: Son of Crimson is one of the best 2D action platformers out there so if you love the genre as much as I do then I highly recommend giving it a go. From its gorgeous presentation to its tight controls and rewarding upgrades, it's one satisfying adventure.
