Reviews - Escape from Ravensbrück

Escape from Ravensbrück is a 2D jump'n slash game in the style of Zelda 2 or Gargoyle's Quest. It has RPG and randomized elements, a hand painted children's book aesthetic, and a story grounded in the events of World War II. Initially it will be available on Windows/Mac/Linux around August 2015. Game features: A hand painted art style, painstakingly created using many small pieces of art, with a final touch up stage where the brush graces every corner of the world. Tight 2D action platforming with many weapons, gadgets, and upgrades to find and improve your character. An overworld, and non-combat areas that break up the pace, reward exploration, and help to tell the story. A five hour experience further lengthened by the game's randomization of item locations, monster placement, (and maybe even level layouts) within dungeons. A unique story that ranges from the bright and colorful aspects of a children's book to the dark and horrific torture that humans do to each other.
