Flynn: Son of Crimson Switch NSP Free Download Flynn: Son of Crimson is ideal for someone who is looking for a blend of The Legend of Zelda, Shovel Knight, and Dragon Ball Z. While this combination may sound odd, developer Humble Games found a way to balance the three and produce something that is beautifully designed, surprisingly intricate, and forgiving. Flynn: Son of Crimson falls short in a few areas – namely its story delivery and an annoying area cleansing mechanic. ROMSLAB.COM BEST SWITCH GAMES

The overall experience is so engrossing that these faults fade into the background. Flynn: Son of Crimson tells the story of the titular character, Flynn, as he fights to keep the island of Rosantica safe from the Scourge, much like his parents did long before. Flynn comes from the Crimson bloodline, which imbues him with special attacks, abilities, weapons, and a companion named Dex who is the land’s Guardian Spirit.

Puzzles for Everyone

Most of the puzzles are very straightforward, tasking you with simple challenges like moving a block or two, or timing your ranged attacks to hit a switch. Later on, there were a couple of surprises in terms of using Flynn’s move set like rolling to make a difficult jump, but for the most part I was never stumped or ever had to think hard for more than a few seconds. Enemies in Son of Crimson have straightforward attack patterns, though some are harder to read than others.Along the Edge Switch NSP

Most are often easily dispatched with a few swings of your sword, or some ranged magic attacks. There’s also a stagger meter of sorts, where fast and consecutive hits can stun your opponent, giving you an opening to absolutely thrash them. Deeper in you unlock some new abilities later like a Crimson attack that lets you pretty much decimate any fool that gets in your way and an additional weapon with some other magic powers to exploit.

Just Some Fluff

One of my main gripes with the game is at times it forces you to backtrack in order to cleanse an area, which definitely feels a bit, at times, like extra padding in what is already a short and breezy adventure. That, and while it introduces new weapons and powers, I never felt anything was mechanically that deep or pushing the genre forward in any way. Alwa’s Legacy Switch NSP

All in all, Flynn: Son of Crimson is a fun and short adventure that’s pleasing to look at with a story that doesn’t get in its way. While it never quite hits the highs of Shovel Knight my time with it was pleasant, if a little too breezy at times. If you’re in need of a beautiful but short 2D adventure, spending an afternoon with your pal Dex to set the world right is an easy recommendation to make.

Flynn: Son of Crimson’s soundtrack,

The same can’t be said of Flynn: Son of Crimson’s soundtrack, although I’m pretty okay with that. Although it wears its Nintendo and Square Enix soundtrack influences pretty heavily, it’s also one of the best parts of the whole game. Every track in the game is excellent. They all create the perfect ambiance for each level, and the piano is delivered with really high fidelity. It’s easily one of the strongest parts of the game. Amnesia: Collection Switch NSP

I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Flynn: Son of Crimson. It feels just different enough from its genre brethren with cool unlockable weapons and upgrades and a whole heckin’ dog to fight by your side. It’s nothing special though and despite a constant feeling of progression, the basicness of the game wore on me eventually. For fans of action platformers though, it will be an enjoyable new addition.
