Savage: Road to Darkness PC

Savage: Road to Darkness is a 2D platformer released on PC. This is the debut production of the independent ARTcle studio.

Plot

The game takes us to the fantasy land inspired by Japanese folklore, inhabited by humanoid animals. We play as a crocodile named Wani, trained in secret ninja techniques. The campaign revolves around the hero's desire for revenge on his former friends who betrayed him.

Mechanics

In terms of gameplay mechanisms, Savage: Road to Darkness is a classic 2D platformer. The focus is on combat - we have access to a wide range of attacks and special skills, among which we can find supernatural ninja abilities.

The fun is diversified by frequent clashes with bosses. However, the game isn't only focused on combat. We can also explore the levels and solve a few logic puzzles.

The game was developed with experienced players in mind. The gameplay mechanics are rather complex for this genre and the difficulty level is high.

Technical aspects

Savage: Road to Darkness refers to old platformers, but the authors didn't offer the retro-style graphics typical of this type of titles. Instead, they opted for high resolution and smooth animations, which makes the action look like an interactive cartoon.
