Overview
Cross of the Dutchman is the minute game nosotros encounter on Steam from Triangle Studios, from the Netherlands. In this game you lot volition command a farmer as well as aid him collect an regular army of swain land men as well as contend off the Saxon invasion. It is a top-down fighting game alongside shaver RPG elements. The game is based on a existent level / local legend of Pier Donia, who's tomb is genuinely located at a walking distance from the dev's part building, thence the inspiration for the game.
The Pros:
Accurate Story Telling - From what I was able to enquiry well-nigh the legend of Pier, the game stays truthful to the story, as well as tries to sneak inwards equally many details equally possible. The writing is concise, doesn't waste matter too much fourth dimension on shaver details as well as the level is genuinely lovely direct forrad as well as good paced.
Lovely Art Style - The game adopts a really brightly colored, depression poly as well as fluidly animated scenery, which is an interesting pick considering this is a game well-nigh bulk murdering soldiers. This is reminescent of the mode people process Pier immediately equally a hero, when he was, fifty-fifty if patriotic, responsible for many roughshod deaths. The game does face really good-natured to the eye, as well as due to it's graphical style, it doesn't necessitate many resources, so wait a polish 60fps on most systems.
Good, buildantiseptic fun - There aren't a lot to exercise inwards this game, but it's non a evil point. Your primary activities volition include recruiting allies (story driven), finding gilded inwards hidden chests as well as loot crates, as well as killing saxons alongside your bare fists or swords. These are surprisingly non that repetitive equally I've expected, as well as you lot tin go well-nigh four hours inwards a non rushed game. The Combat is too satisfying, primarily due to the fact that you lot are really very overpowered.
Appealing UI - The user interface looks really overnice overall, as well as fifty-fifty features a total map, equally good the mini-map inwards the corner alongside useful data such equally POI's as well as the total of hidden prize chests inwards the part you're in. (Game does non advert this, but Pier was too a pirate. Yarr)
The Cons:
Too Easy - This is a level driven game, even so the contest is really easy. The exclusively mode you lot could lose is past heading fist commencement inwards a bunch of archers as well as live overwhelmed at a distance. Using your fists, as well as afterward sword, you lot tin role exceptional attacks that tin kill a dozen soldiers inwards 1 hit. All contest is here, really, is evading enemy blows until your abilities recharge as well as and so ain them. The adition of your immortal followers brand this fifty-fifty easier.
Sub Par Stealth System - There are parts of the game where you lot must role stealth inwards society to non warning the Saxon soldiers. The job alongside this is that they are all practically blind. The exclusively mode you lot tin live detected is if you lot walk 1 meter inwards front end of them. As long equally you lot are non inwards the (small)set of lite their light gives, you're invisible, fifty-fifty if you lot aretransparent ly inwards front end of them, inwards plainly sight. Not challenging at all.
Linigh - I sympathize they planned this equally a level driven game, as well as I'm non disappointed alongside it, it's only that the linigh nature of the game genuinely kills replayability. If you lot desire it for the level reinactment, as well as so no job here. But it would take been bang-up to take this small, opened up earth where you lot would take random events to salve peasants, kill saxons, as well as persuade novel vigilantes to bring together your side earlier heading into battle!
Conclusion:
Cross of The Dutchman is a proficient game. Pleasant visuals, decent writing, fun (even if easy) contest as well as a by as well as large overnice experience. Keep inwards heed this is a level driven game, as well as won't offering much replayability, but it is really fun to play the commencement few times!
