My notes on: Platforminers

Platforminers

• Developer: Magico games
• Publisher: Namco Bandai games

So this might not be that popular of a game but I saw this come out sometime in the fall and I finally bought this during the christmass sale. A weird game since there isn't a lot there but I got weirdly addicted to this.

-So as is evident from the name that this game combines platforming and not mining. well i guess if you count walking over a mineral and then stuff just pops out and then you pick it up. The game is more about platrofming and shooting, but I guess Platforminers is a better name that "Platforkillaz" or "Platformshooter". The game does not even have a pickaxe!

-The steam page says that this has gun loot like Borderlands, but the guns in this game just don't have any personality, which is a big shame. Well first of all there is only four classes of weapons: pistol, SMG, shotgun and rocket launcher. But still in this the only difference of two SMG's is just that they are different color, even the names are really bland. just like "bazooka 61 CO-IR AME" which is just so lame.

-A big plus is the character creator which has a lot of options. The best part is that by changing stuff you chance the name of your character. for example: Jim Punchbite and Julia Skybreath. And according to the game the characters appearance changes the world you will get. The only thing you can change about your character later on is the hair, which some enemies will drop. I don't know is this actually the first name that gives different stats to hair. I usually went for hair with "one extra jump" bonus.

-So the game is mostly about killing enemies gathering guns and minerals and then selling them. The bigger plot beihnd the game is that you are trapped in this mine and the only way to get out is to find these magical colored guns around the world so you can build this giant robot drill in order to escape. And in order to make exploration easier you can jump five times in a row.
