Each hero in Josh Journey has unique skills, to attack face to face, using sword or hammer, or to attack from distance, using magic or gunfire. You can choose between four heroes during a local gameplay with your friends! josh, the Swordsman, uses the wind element. He has great dexterity, favoring quick, decisive strikes and the ability to quickly navigate his environment. He is particularly capable in aerial combat. Melina, the Sorceress, uses the water element. She is a slight twist on the arcanist archetype, having impressive, long-ranged projectiles and diminishing her foe’s capacities. She adds to that powerful crowd control capacities, and optional support powers.

Farquol, the Nomad, uses the earth element. He is a tough hero who is part of a mystical and tribal community. His strikes, however, tend to be slower and harder to hit, packing a larger wallop as a counterpoint. Z.O.Z., the Multitask Robot, uses the fire element. He presents a wide range of skills, such as explosive long-distance projectiles and bombs, that sways between violent means and the smart usage of props and hazards. I’m not going to make you wait any longer – I’ll fill you in on the non-art half of the game. Josh Journey’s gameplay does not hold up well at all. The core gameplay – the combat – feels shallow, and in many situations I felt like it was impossible to avoid enemies’ attacks. Raiden V: Director’s Cut Switch

The game lacks an acceptable level of what I would describe as give and take, between the player and the enemies. It’s missing some basic abilities/moves that we’ve grown accustomed to in our games over the years. Only one of the four characters has a traditional block move, and only one has a traditional dodge move, both of which must be unlocked in the upgrade shop in between levels. I think if the game was designed with a dedicated dodge or block button the combat wouldn’t feel as cheap. However, that still wouldn’t fix the level of shallowness present in the combat system. Each of the four characters starts with 3 moves: a basic and heavy attack (3 of the characters can combo these together).

Build Ability Board to make special attacks during the battles.

A special attack that can only be performed once the small bar under your health is filled by attacking enemies. The special attack in all four cases is extremely weak, especially considering you have to build up a meter to use it. Two of the characters are close-range melee fighters and the other two have short-distance ranged attacks. Each character has a couple of new moves that can be purchased in the upgrade shop, but the ones that I have unlocked so far don’t do much to improve the quality of the combat. I found myself drawn to the ranged fighters because it was easier to avoid getting hit. Raiders of the North Sea Switch

Each character starts with a very small health bar that can be whittled away quickly by getting hit a few times by enemies’ attacks. When a character dies you instantly switch to the next available hero. You can revive the fallen heroes by holding the A button next to them; however, you have to hold the button for what feels like an eternity and if you are hit it interrupts the buildup of the revival bar and you must start over. In addition, getting the HUD to display for the A input is very finicky, I could be standing right on top of or next to the dead hero’s icon and it would only display when standing in a very small spot.

Wind, Water, Desert and Industrial.

Once revived they regain half their health, which is reasonable, but this brings up another issue I have with the gameplay: Healing. There are not enough healing mechanics. Only one character has a healing move, and it is restricted to her special move. This move can only be performed if you find a particular pickup in the environment, and that pickup is rare; appearing once or so per level. Occasionally you will find a health potion inside breakable objects, but it only restores a sliver of your health bar. To add insult to injury, after you complete a level or if you give up and return to the map screen you have to go to the upgrade shop to refill all of your heroes’ health. This just doesn’t make sense to me.

The one thing that brings the game down is that the music is not the best, but that is a personal preference and others may find it more to their liking. For this reviewer though, it just did not feel exactly right for the type of game this is, albeit not in every section. That said, if this is the worst complaint, that should tell you how much this beat ”em-up fan really enjoyed the game. This may not be the biggest or best modern beat ‘em up, but the unique elements it has, such as how the levelling system works for each character, manage to give it its own identity. Add in the amazing and beautiful hand-drawn artwork, and Josh Journey: Darkness Totems has so much going for it. RetroMania Wrestling Switch NSP
