Glyph Review

The art of physics is at your disposal with Bolverk Games' new 3D platformer Glyph. Taking cues from other roly-poly games like Super Monkey Ball and Marble Madness, does this little creature have what it takes to stand up to the greats?

Glyph Review

The world of the titular character Glyph is in complete disarray. After being woken up by Anobi, he soon learns of the great cataclysm. This traumatic event caused corruption in the sands, and it's up to Glyph to face this corruption and restore the temple city of Aaru.

With a game like this, the story serves as window dressing and nothing more. Anobi will chuck bits of lore at you as you explore its world and make your way around its hub, but it can safely be ignored with a few quick presses of the A button for those that want to get straight into the action. Rather, the game truly shines with its presentation – though it's not an incredibly detailed title that pushes the Nintendo Switch hardware, it does have a polished look that has plenty of charm.

Each level in Glyph serves as an obstacle course of sorts, one that has you navigating platforms and making your way to a portal. Keys must be gathered to open said portal, but there is a wealth of coins, gems, and artifacts that can also be collected along the way. It's not like the collectathons found in Banjo-Kazooie or Donkey Kong 64, but it does encourage replayability – especially when said goodies unlock additional pieces of content.

Of course, a game that prides itself on its platforming gameplay is only as good as its control scheme. Glyph largely delivers with its tight physics and freedom of control. The main character can bounce around the world like a pinball, but tools like a double jump, glide, and wall hop can all be used to maneuver around its world with ease. Just be warned: though the camera is mapped to the right analog stick, it can be tricky lining things up while in the thick of it.

If anything, that proves to be Glyph's greatest weakness – it's difficulty. Though there are time trials that reward different tiers of performances and a difficulty rating from one to five, actually getting the hang of things will take some serious time. Messing up a run is never fun, especially when there are multiple keys or a long distance to cover. Those itching for a challenge will enjoy taking it on, but those less patient best approach with caution.

As players make their way through the game, they'll be able to come across a number of unlockable avatars and trails. The core game also has a fair amount of meat to it, ensuring that players will be at it for a good while as they gradually unlock its world.

Though there is a bit of a learning curve, Glyph's physics-based platforming will appeal to speedrunners and collectathon aficionados alike. Its difficulty may be a turn off for some, but those willing to cut their teeth will enjoy bouncing their way around its world.

This review of Glyph was done on the Nintendo Switch. A digital code was provided by the publisher.

No Man's Sky Getting Companions Update


As part of update 3.2, Hello Games' No Man's Sky will see a galaxy of new companions.

The different creatures that roam the universe can now be tamed and adopted as companions. Once bonded, they can be summoned wherever one would like, even aboard the Space Anomaly.

Baby creatures in the title will inherit both the traits and the looks from their parents, but will never be exactly the same. Along the way, they will need care as they mature. By playing with them, feeding them, and giving them attention, players will be able to earn the trust of their companions. Each individual personality is one-of-a-kind, meaning that no two are the same.

These creatures will also bring with them a number of benefits, including scanning for resources, marking hazards, providing torchlight, hunting hostile creatures, and locating buildings. Each creature harness has a neural link with the Exosuit, which will enable for rudimentary translation of their thoughts.

Cosplay Wednesday – Bravely Default's Edea Lee


The world of Claytechworks and Square Enix's Bravely Default series is set to make its return with the release of the Nintendo Switch sequel Bravely Default II. In honor of this title, Gamers Heroes takes a look at a striking cosplay of the series mainstay Edea Lee.

Taken in Switzerland on the day of the first snow of the year, RomaiLee got these stunning shots of her as Bravely Default's Edea. All edits were done by her, while her friend Gohan Hime was able to join in as Agnes. She even got an equestrian pal to join in for one of the shots. Needless to say, these shots perfectly capture the character's strong sense of justice.

Tiny Toy Tanks Review

The team at Retro Gears takes the explosive power of tanks and shrinks it down with the release of Tiny Toy Tanks. Featuring more than 40 missions and plenty of firepower, should players enlist for the cause?

Tiny Toy Tanks Review

Those looking to blast away enemy scum will be able to get the hang of the controls before too long. Your typical WASD setup is used for movement, with the left mouse button firing up to five bullets before a cooldown period and the right mouse button laying down bombs. There's not much to it, but this is one title that was designed to be simple at its core. Just be warned that the controls are fairly rigid, but that comes with the territory.

After choosing from one of two chapters, players will have to contend with a number of enemy threats, with each mission cleared by destroying them all. The good news is that they go down in one hit, but the bad news is so do you. Those playing on Easy will be given 200 lives, while those who like to live dangerously will be given a paltry 10. Just be warned that even the most hardened of players will go through lives like candy.

It's just a shame that the game is tedious and overly plain. Any sort of personality is thrown out the window by the time players get even a few minutes in. Generic music loops, tanks are recolored, and the world is made up of blocks. It is hard to get invested in its world, and even the inclusion of elements like steel boxes that ricochet bullets and lava isn't enough to make this title not feel like a drag.

Tiny Toy Tanks is never unfair, but it does feel like it is a bit too rudimentary at times. Certain tanks simply sit there, waiting to be sniped. Other levels are overly simple, consisting of a narrow pathway and nothing more. The fact that certain missions can be finished in less than a minute detracts from the game rather than adding to it. It would have been nice to see some more intelligent AI added to the title, but as it stands it just doesn't have enough to challenge all those who attempt it.

This lack of incentive extends to the other parts of the game. There's no leaderboards, no multiplayer, and no achievements to speak of – what you see is what you get. The inclusion of this functionality would have given this title some legs, but as it stands, players can mark this one as complete in a little less than an hour.

Tiny Toy Tanks is overly simple at its core, which proves to be its greatest weakness. The formula simply isn't taken far enough, and this rudimentary approach makes its many missions feel tedious before too long.

This review of Tiny Toy Tanks was done on the PC. The game was freely downloaded.
