Garshasp: The Monster Slayer

This is an indie hack n' slash game, it's a pretty unknown game I think. It's made with a small budget, but this game got so much potential. It's a combination between god of war and prince of persia.

You are Garshasp, the name comes from a myth a man named Garshasp in Persian mythology a monster slayer. Garshasp in the game comes from a small village, in a land invaded by monsters and other evil things. Well I have not played the entire game but the story is about a demon that kills your brother and takes a mace that is valuable in some way. You are both after vengeance and that mace, you have to solve puzzles while fighting the monsters.

It's a bit lame because you can use the grab ability you got to instant kill smaller monster, it's the same button as you execute the bigger enemies with. I like the combo in which you have to press to execute the bigger enemies, it's not necessary on the smaller monsters you can just press it and they dies. But I think the game so far is pretty good for a low budget game, I have my hopes low before I played this game but it's actually funny. I miss a co/op mode for it though, that would have been very cool.

Overall this game is worth playing. But it's a pain in the ass to startup the first time, since if you are playing on a windows7 computer you have to download internet explorer flashplayer and go into a file on your computer and find a specific flash file. Which you put into the Garshasp game file, it's complicated. But if you have bought this game I can gladly help you out.

Pro:
Gameplay
The environment

Con:
The camerasystem is worthless, it's a locked camera that moves in an extremely weird way. But you get used to it!
Combat, every combat looks the same


Rating 6/10
