Giana Video Game Series

Arcade 19 August 2015

Another installment in a series of 2D platformers initiated in 1987. Giana Sisters: Dream Runners was created by Black Forest Games. This time, the studio offers a multiplayer experience, which is based on racing. The game offers five characters, including the titular Giana, a ninja, an owl, a knight and a robot. The racing takes place in 9 diverse locations and our goal is to cross the finish line first. The characters share an identical set of skills, such as sliding under obstacles, launching one's body into a spin, or activating a speed boost - the last can be done only after an adequate number of jewels have been collected. Giana Sisters: Dream Runners offers decent, colorful visuals. The game can be played both in the local multiplayer and via the Internet.

An enhanced edition of a 2012's platformer game Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams. The Director's Cut offers improved graphics (1080p), as well as the contents of the two DLC packs, namely Rise of the Owlverlord and Halloween Level. The remaining contents of the game have not been changed. A girl by the name of Giana is the protagonist. Both her and the environment around have a double nature - in the colorful version of the world, the protagonist is a rebellious teenager and the player listens to heavy sounds of an electric guitar. However, when the dream-like reality turns into a nightmare, Giana gets humbled and becomes a good girl again - in this type of situation, the player hears slightly disturbing, low-tone music. Simultaneously, the in-game locations undergo slight changes, and the protagonist can use different abilities when a shift happens. The player switches between the two dimensions depending on the current goal. On their path, one encounters plenty of challenges combining puzzle solving with arcade elements, as well as many original enemy types, including several bosses.
