Krinkle Krusher
SCORE: 56
Family Friendly Gaming was provided a preview code for Krinkle
Krusher on the Playstation 4. Actually the code works on the Playstation
3, and Playstation Vita as well. It is a universal code as long as the
same players account is being used. Which is very nice. So we spent all
the time, and money to run a preview of Krinkle Krusher. Our
understanding was the game was weeks out.
Come to find out, one week after we paid all the money to publish the
preview, it was released to the public. Then the PR firm let us know we
could review it. Made me wonder why we bothered spending all that money
on the preview. Since the preview will still be active when the review
goes online. I really hate it when other people waste my money. That is
enough behind the scenes information.
Krinkle Krusher is a tower defense downloadable only video game. There
is a magical system in Krinkle Krusher. The mage and his magic hand are
what fight off the enemies. Plenty of references to other well known
franchises are used in Krinkle Krusher. None of them made me laugh, but
then I am a Bananas Comedy kind of a guy. The main lesson in Krinkle
Krusher is to plan ahead. The enemies walk in set patterns. So quickly
identify and placing lightning bolts, fire walls, and more in their path
is required.
Krinkle Krusher is hard, especially when enemies walk at times, and run
at others. Then they are impossible to hit when they get close to the
wall. At times their patterns become unpredictable. The low amount of
traps we can place in front of them compound the other game play
problems with Krinkle Krusher. None of the issues we discovered in
Krinkle Krusher were fixed in the final build. In fact the game did not
even update after it went live to the public.
I also noticed some lag in terms of the attacks. Which led me to
spamming a button and using it all up. BTW when you use up something you
have to wait for it to recharge. Not helpful when they keep getting
close. The music is nice, and the graphics are okay. I got tired of
watching the enemies burn and fry in Krinkle Krusher. Since it takes
multiple attacks to dispose of them, we get to keep seeing it.
Krinkle Krusher is too hard, too monotonous, and too frustrating. I
expect universal versions of games is the wave of the future. Krinkle
Krusher as a downloadable only video game does nothing to help the
physical copy movement. I could see this game selling for ten dollars at
local retailers.
