REVIEW / JustAxe (PC) – That VideoGame Weblog


JustAxe jogs my memory of an Adobe Flash recreation again within the Newgrounds/Kongregate days of yore. It’s a quick and easy platformer with the texture of that Flash fluidity and controls. Gamers who’ve by no means skilled some of these video games will cringe on the sluggishness and recreation physics. It’s simply not a very good search for a console recreation popping out in 2024.

Enemies, for instance, will comply with little Martha (i.e., the participant one controls) to the ends of a degree with their aggressiveness. Martha has them so aggroed to the purpose the place it is going to soar on one another and fall off traps and crevices simply to get to her. When the enemies do assault Martha, it is going to push her off typically yards away that’s so in contrast to real-world physics. That’s the Flash-game physics at work.

Navigating in JustAxe additionally falls into the Flash-game physics work. Martha runs, jumps, and assaults together with her trusty axe as anticipated, however there’s simply one thing concerning the controls that doesn’t really feel as fluid because it’s alleged to be. For instance, in one of many chase ranges, falling down the spiky abyss ought to robotically ship Martha over to the nice past, however it doesn’t. The truth is, she simply bounces off the spiky hill and will get broken for every bounce as an alternative. Simply little issues like that makes it seem to be this recreation is unpolished.

Fortunately, JustAxe is a really quick, three-hour slog that may be accomplished in a day. The story is barebones, however that’s anticipated for such a recreation. It truly is a recreation for these in search of to waste time throughout a protracted practice or bus experience or a begrudging household dinner. It can at the very least take the main focus off the true world to finish these semi-frustrating ranges and enemies.
