“It has such fluid gameplay and I love having to think about what magic spells I need to use and when to use them.”
“Timemelters challenges a very straightforward tutorial that lets you understand the mechanics fairly well. The challenges look interesting once you pass the tutorial; the more you play, the more you like it!”
“Timemelters challenges is meant to serve as a "prologue" or a sort of extended demo of the full game, containing an abridged tutorial and the first 12 challenge maps. These maps are designed to take the game's mechanics and ideas and test you on them. They are not easy, and especially if you're new, it might take some learning time to figure some of these out.”
“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 1st 12 challenge maps; maps designed to take the games 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; one cryptic little hint that may help some people on a bunch of challenges I'll just quickly say is this: "just because you have a bunch of echoes, it doesn't mean you have to use all of them."”
“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.”
“The gameplay is not super fluid (especially the walking sensation that seems a little odd :p), but the ideas behind the time control are really nice.”
