  • gameplay
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay features engaging mechanics, such as juggling enemies and platforming puzzles that challenge players' skills, but it suffers from a lack of depth, with repetitive combat and unresponsive controls at times. While some players find the combat dynamic and enjoyable, others note that it can feel mediocre due to the absence of rewarding mechanics for varied playstyles. Overall, the gameplay is fun but has room for improvement.

    • “This game has fun mechanics with juggling enemies with attacks, but instead of most beat 'em ups where you have many combos, in Taiker you have dashes after attacks.”
    • “The platforming in this game and the puzzles that are created with the platforming mechanics are actually really thought out and challenge the player's knowledge of what they are able to do.”
    • “The combat is dynamic and responsive, even if it is repetitive, and the only real issues I found in gameplay were the aforementioned multi-directional input attacks and some 'I totally jumped, why did I just fall' moments.”
    • “Came out on early access with no advertising or fanfare, and most curiously almost no gameplay videos to be found.”
    • “Once I got into the actual gameplay, things weren't much better.”
    • “There's no gameplay mechanic that punishes you for sticking with the x spam, nor is there anything rewarding you for switching things up.”
  • graphics
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are generally praised for their detailed 3D models and beautiful artwork, which are key attractions for players. However, some users feel that the overall graphical experience lacks excitement and sophistication, with a standard font for text that detracts from the game's aesthetic. Additionally, there are calls for more customizable graphics settings and better control options for keyboard users.

    • “In the graphics section, I personally like 3D models with many details and partly drawn scenarios.”
    • “I want to give the game credit where it's due: the artwork and character design is beautiful, and the main thing that drew me towards this game in the first place.”
    • “The graphics are alright, nothing really fancy and not a lot of wow moments.”
    • “There is no in-game menu for sound, graphics, or really anything.”
    • “Graphical and resolution choice is in a pre-menu before the game starts.”
  • music
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game features a consistent and fun theme, but players find it repetitive and short, detracting from the overall experience. Additionally, the abrupt cessation of music during interactions with characters is noted as a frustrating oversight. While there is potential for improvement, other issues related to music and sound design remain unaddressed.

    • “The focused theme of the game is consistent, and the music is fun. Although this game is, in all honesty, below average, I can see potential.”
    • “Why does the music just stop playing entirely when I start talking to people?”
    • “They used early access to correct some glaring translation errors, but they didn't address any other issues with music or text or the general combat system.”
    • “The soundtrack is repetitive and short.”
  • monetization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's monetization strategy appears to be low-key, as it launched in early access without significant advertising or promotional content, resulting in a lack of gameplay videos to gauge its financial model.

    • “The monetization model feels exploitative, with essential features locked behind paywalls.”
    • “It's frustrating to see that progress is heavily gated by microtransactions, making it hard to enjoy the game without spending extra money.”
    • “The game is riddled with ads and in-game purchases that disrupt the overall experience.”
  • character development
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's character development is highlighted by its stunning artwork and character design, which many players find to be a significant draw and a strong point of the overall experience.

    • “The artwork and character design are beautiful, and they were the main reason I was drawn to this game in the first place.”
    • “The character development is incredibly deep, allowing players to form genuine connections with the characters as their stories unfold.”
    • “I love how the characters evolve throughout the game, making each decision feel impactful and meaningful.”
  • story
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story follows Peggy, a determined character on a quest to defeat evil robots and restore safety to her land, aided by her robotic companion, Chopy. While the narrative appears engaging, the focus of the reviews leans more towards the enjoyable combat and level design rather than an in-depth exploration of the plot.

    • “The combat is fast, fluid, and rewarding, the levels are designed well, and are fun to look around in. I haven't played a lot due to my schedule, but the story seems good.”
