  • Innovative gameplay mechanics, such as the scent mechanic, add depth to the stealth experience.
  • The game suffers from bugs and glitches that can hinder progress and affect gameplay.
  • Graphics and controls feel outdated and unpolished, leading to a clunky experience.

  • story
    26 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is praised for its originality and engaging characters, particularly following the lilygrove scouts in a quest reminiscent of classic warrior tales. While some players find the information dumps during character interactions overwhelming, the narrative is described as heartfelt and well-crafted, making it a highlight of the experience. Overall, the story is seen as a significant draw, even if the game itself is relatively short, taking less than 10 hours to complete.

    • “I look forward to playing the rest, and if you're looking for what seems to be a beautiful story and a dangerous but stealthy adventure, I recommend this.”
    • “This is a really fun puzzle game with a great story!”
    • “Love the story, but the info dump when you speak to the characters can be a little bit overwhelming sometimes.”
    • “If you have no interest in the books, then this is a decent stealth game with a few janky segments and more emphasis on the story.”
    • “But the majority of the game stands on its own original characters and storyline following the Lilygrove Scouts, which can best be compared to the Guosim as a band of warriors looking to protect Mossflower Woods.”
  • gameplay
    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay features a unique scent mechanic that enhances stealth elements by allowing players to manipulate enemy detection and lure them into traps, adding depth to the experience. However, many players found the execution lacking, citing monotonous stealth set-pieces and unpolished mechanics that detracted from overall enjoyment. While the game captures the essence of the Redwall universe, it leaves room for refinement in future installments.

    • “The scent mechanic was interesting and had more uses than I originally thought, and added a new layer of gameplay that I did not appreciate fully until partway through the anthology.”
    • “One unique element of this game is the scent mechanic, where enemies can detect your scent depending on the wind's direction, but also can be used to lure them into traps.”
    • “The mouse-themed mechanics, like scrambling on all fours to sprint and following scents, do a good job of making you feel like a mouse.”
    • “While this game has some unique mechanics and story elements that are somewhat interesting to look at, the design of the stealth set-pieces is far too monotonous to hold much attention.”
    • “The scent mechanic, while certainly unique and setting-appropriate, isn't used in those set-pieces enough to justify itself and the constant scent trails covering your screen make the game look uglier than it already is.”
    • “To be honest, I didn't really like the gameplay elements in the original acts.”
  • graphics
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are generally praised for their vibrant visuals and faithful representation of the Redwall aesthetic, featuring superb artwork, character models, and animation. However, some users note that the graphics feel somewhat outdated and unpolished, with issues like popping background elements and clunky movement, which may deter newcomers unfamiliar with the Redwall universe. Overall, fans appreciate the visuals in the context of the game's story and music, though they acknowledge the need for improvement.

    • “Superb artwork, character models and animation, and music.”
    • “I grew up with the Redwall books, and the aesthetic of the books carries really well into the stylized graphics of the game.”
    • “The game has great visuals and passionate voice acting.”
    • “The graphics have a tendency to pop background elements in the distance.”
    • “However, for someone who hasn't had any experience with the Redwall universe, the graphics, somewhat unpolished gameplay, and slightly clunky movement will probably be pretty off-putting.”
    • “The game itself does not have the best graphics or anything, and it's not that polished.”
  • music
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews; while some players praise it as the best they've experienced in gaming, others find it bland and note issues with unbalanced sound design. Overall, the soundtrack stands out positively despite the game's other shortcomings.

    • “Superb artwork, character models and animation, and music.”
    • “The game itself does not have the best graphics or anything and it's not that polished, but it has the best music out of any game I have played.”
    • “(please release that song on Spotify, I'm begging you)”
    • “The sound design is unbalanced and the music is bland.”
  • stability
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The stability of the game is inconsistent, with some users reporting numerous bugs and glitches that necessitate restarting chapters, while others have experienced no issues at all. This disparity suggests a varied experience among players regarding the game's stability.

    • “There were too many bugs and glitches, sometimes powerful enough that I had to restart the chapter to get rid of them.”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is largely considered ineffective, with many users feeling it fails to elicit laughter, even in a "so bad it's good" way. Overall, the comedic elements fall flat and do not resonate with players.

  • atmosphere
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the books is generally well-crafted, effectively immersing readers in the setting; however, some find the unexpectedly gruesome deaths to be a jarring contrast to the overall tone.
