The game highlights this flaw with the fact that they repeat themselves in the same way in each level. Compared to the rest, the backgrounds are not bad, but unfortunately there is very little variety here too. The developers made the models of the very few characters and the recurring elements of the scenarios with not much care. This is a huge plus considering the number of times the game will force you to reload the levels.Īs for the artistic aspect, however, the game did not satisfy me at all. To be honest, this was horrible to witness. In addition, the title boasts quick loading screens. The game is extremely simple and consequently can be played without major problems, even on less performing PCs.

LUCIFORM HACKING SERIES
Endless mode is made up of an infinite series of randomly generated levels that will immediately stop with your first death.Īs for the technical sector, there is really not much to say about Chaos Minds’ Luciform.

This also makes Endless mode almost unplayable. Take note that the only way to beat a specific level is by learning the entire level by heart. That is what makes playing this game so damn difficult. All this, combined with the constant movement, the inability to adjust the height of the jump, and the total absence of checkpoints, will force you to a long and frustrating trial-and-error process. Often it is difficult to understand what the exact point of contact with these objects is. This is the case with Luciform!īy touching only one pixel of a trap, your character will die instantaneously. Performing pixel perfect actions to complete the most difficult scenarios isn’t necessarily bad, but it becomes bad when collisions are inaccurate. Take note that Chaos Minds scattered these paths with traps in which a pixel can make the difference between life and death.įurthermore, in the more advanced levels, the game introduces additional elements to make progress even more complicated. These elements can be trampolines or even colored brambles. As you progress through the primary campaign, the game’s scenarios will only get more and more difficult with each level. The levels go from fairly linear sections with some obstacles up to complex vertical paths. I will continue my Luciform review by focusing on the levels. Don’t even bother reading further if you are not calm, cool, and collected when playing these types of games. The most important thing is basically having patience. This all will lead you to die countless times from pressing wrong keys. These elements make learning the commands really uncomfortable and frustrating. Take note that Luci can also only change direction while in midair. Although the basic controls are very simple, there are two particularities that make the game very complicated. I am talking about the fact that Luci cannot stop at all. It will be essential to quickly switch from one color to another to lean on certain platforms or avoid obstacles.

Luci can interact only with the elements of the levels of its same color. Luci can also change his colors to red, blue, and green by pressing “Q”, “W”, and “E” respectively. The controls of the game are simple and difficult at the same time! The character can jump with space and change direction with the directional arrows. Take note that Luci will rely solely on his ability to change colors. To achieve his goal, this little creature will have to go through over 50 levels full of obstacles and deadly traps. Chaos Minds’ Luciform puts players in the shoes of Luci, a sort of magical rabbit with the aim of freeing his family from the clutches of a wicked red-eyed gorilla.
