The combination of beautiful artwork, engaging puzzles, and a fitting soundtrack contributes to a visually pleasing and immersive atmosphere.

    • “I'd recommend it for the enchanting visuals alone.”
    • “The visual aesthetic is incredibly pleasing, and it's very enjoyable switching between our three heroes to solve a myriad of problems.”
    • “Strikingly beautiful art style paired with tight and engaging platforming and combat controls make for an excellent package in this indie gem.”
    • “Some elements are a little too unpolished (uneven graphics and sound effects), but the whole effect is really fun, joyful, epic Celtic tale.”
    • “The graphics are very much inspired by the Samurai Jack series, and do well to fit the Celtic mythology theme.”

  • gameplay
    36 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of Clan o'Conall is highly praised for its engaging character swapping mechanics, which add depth and variety to the platforming experience. Players appreciate the blend of challenging puzzles, hack-and-slash combat, and the nostalgic feel reminiscent of classic platformers, all enhanced by beautiful hand-drawn art and a captivating Celtic mythological setting. While some find the character swap mechanics occasionally tricky, the overall gameplay is described as fun, intuitive, and rewarding.

    • “Beautiful art, great gameplay (including some of the best character swapping mechanics I've seen), and a unique Celtic mythological setting.”
    • “Clan o'Conall is an action 2D platformer that oozes charm with its hand-drawn art whilst simultaneously maintaining its fast-paced, intuitive gameplay.”
    • “The character swapping mechanic adds a nice bit of depth and play style variation to an otherwise classic platformer design.”
    • “The switch mechanics can be a bit tricky to get the hang of, but that's part of the challenge!”
    • “Puzzle maps will, for the most part, require all three characters to solve - there are portions where the game forces you to be one character at a time, which I would say is my least favorite aspect of the puzzle-solving mechanic, but it does add to the interest.”
    • “I would say the way to combat this is to memorize where your characters are in order, although I do think this mechanic could have been handled slightly better.”
  • music
    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's music has been widely praised for its beautiful, celtic-inspired soundtrack that enhances the overall atmosphere and gameplay experience.

Overall, the combination of engaging music and stunning visuals contributes significantly to the game's appeal.

    • “The soundtrack's beautiful, and the fact I can't seem to find it on my music streaming service is sad, but I really enjoyed playing the game.”
    • “Its exuberant and dramatic art style is saturated with Celtic folklore and further complemented by the traditionally inspired soundtrack.”
    • “While during levels, most of the time, music won't be played, as it's only played during cutscenes, long battle arena-style fights, bosses, and big puzzle rooms, but the moment it's played, you will be pleased.”
    • “In fact, I think it's the music that helps keep your spirits and energy up every second of the game.”
    • “Right from the beginning, players are greeted with a loud yet cheery original soundtrack of Celtic-inspired music.”

    The story of the game is a straightforward yet engaging narrative rooted in Celtic mythology, where players control three siblings on a quest to rescue their father from a demonic antagonist.

    • “The story objective is basically 'save your captured father from an evil villain'.”
