The gameplay of Timemelters is praised for its fluidity and innovative mechanics, particularly in the use of magic spells and time control, which offer a refreshing experience. While the tutorial effectively introduces players to the game, some challenges can be difficult and may require time to master. However, the overall consensus is that the game is enjoyable and brings unique elements that set it apart from others.
“It has such fluid gameplay, and I love having to think about what magic spells I need to use and when to use them.”
“Some of the most refreshing mechanics in the game.”
“I simply recommend this game because it plays with mechanics that are rarely ever used in games and tries to bring something fresh.”
“The gameplay is not super fluid (especially the walking sensation seems a little odd), but the ideas behind the time control are really nice.”
“Timemelters challenges is meant to serve as a 'prologue' or a sort of extended demo of sorts of the full game, and in doing so contains an abridged tutorial and the first 12 challenge maps; maps designed to take the game's mechanics and ideas and test you on them; they are not easy and I want to say upfront that, especially if you're new to the game, it might take some learning time to figure some of these out.”
“So a bit of context before I get into my opinion here: I previously backed this game on Kickstarter and have played various versions of the game and its campaign. That means that I cannot necessarily tell you what the onboarding experience for 'challenges' is like; Timemelters isn't always an easy game and it has some mechanics that require some time to demonstrate and get used to.”
