“Still, when it was all coming together, I was enjoying the game, its lovely art style, its sort of tranquil state when the music hits and the platforming is in full swing as it can be.”
“Tasomachi: Behind the Twilight is a fairly rote 3D platformer with some great music and a nice aesthetic.”
“Unfortunately, the combination of headache-inducing visuals, repetitive gameplay, the steepest of difficulty curves, and the lack of an autosave feature makes this a tough title to recommend.”
“Steep learning curve, migraine-inducing graphics, repetitive gameplay.”
