Jump, slash and explore a broken world! Welcome to the Grizzled Planet, a seamless open world platformer presented in retro style and filled with old-school challenges. Explore without pointers to uncover secret areas. Equip yourself with unique items and skills, even the ability to shrink and enlarge or explode and recombine. Only through self-discovery will you overcome enemy Dinos in epic comb…







- The game offers a refreshing challenge to achieve 100% completion without external guides, encouraging exploration and self-discovery.
- Exploration is a highlight, with well-spaced lore collectibles and easter eggs that reward adventurous players.
- The visual style is simplistic yet neat, and the music, while limited, is enjoyable, especially during boss fights.
- Combat feels clunky due to a frustrating attack cooldown, making it difficult to defeat enemies without taking damage.
- Controls are described as muddy, leading to a lack of precision in platforming and combat.
- The game is relatively short, with completion taking only 5-7 hours, which may leave some players wanting more content.
music
8 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe music in the game features a catchy 8-bit track that players generally enjoy, particularly during boss fights where the soundtrack varies. However, the main melody dominates the gameplay, leading to a lack of variety that some players find repetitive. While the music is well-composed, those seeking more diversity may want to supplement it with additional tracks.
“I personally liked it – it’s a fine 8-bitish track from a very talented music artist, but it’s also still stuck in my head several days after finishing the game.”
“I love the music, especially the soundtrack which plays during boss fights.”
“It plays different music when you fight bosses, and the song will be somewhat altered when you’re underwater or in the game’s cave area, but for the most part you’ll be listening to a single melody.”
“I wish the music was a little more varied, but the boss fights are fun and there's a lot of variation to the bosses, their attacks and patterns.”
“If that kind of thing bugs you then definitely consider having some mp3s to supplement the soundtrack.”
