Dandara. What it is?
In Brazil, the Warrior Dandara is known to many. There is not much information about her on the network, and it is not known for certain whether he was born in Brazil or not. But she made a huge contribution to the fight against the slave regime. It operated in the 17th century and protected the population. Thanks to her skills, people nearby were completely safe.
About the game
The developer during the creation of the project was guided precisely by the activity of this character. For sure, the topic is well-known, as it is a Brazilian company. But they did not retell everything in detail, but simply created the world of Salt, where the inhabitants were once free, but now they are oppressed and isolated. And they need to be saved, and it is Dandara who is responsible for this. There will be no references to the story, the storyline is sketchy, while there is no semantic load in the dialogues. But if you know a little background, then a certain logical sequence appears.
But the developer did not explain in any way why the character cannot move normally. The player is used to the fact that platformers run from side to side. But in the case of Dandara, everything is different. When the character enters the room, it freezes, and it can become either on the ground or on white areas. And that’s the way it goes. The developer does not make any exceptions, and if no white color is visible, then there will be no movement.
Although this is inconvenient, you can soon get used to everything. You don’t even need to aim for a long time, as the stick is already aimed in the right direction. So you can quickly move around the room. In terms of implementation, there are no problems.
The world of Salt is a lot of rooms that are connected to each other. And it is not always clear where the ceiling is and where the floor is. The enemy, depending on his type, can walk on any surface, and the main character has no problems with this. Regardless of the location, the game always plays the same way. But initially it’s simply impossible to get into certain areas.
Not an easy life
The inhabitants of the world sometimes endow the heroine with bonus abilities, for example, she can learn to move to other platforms by standing on the buttons, or launch rockets that can destroy a stone block. And there are some improvements in the chest, for example, it can be a pistol that fires a certain number of rounds per shot. But in the fight with the bosses, you should not wait for changes until the very end, because the distance of the shot is small.
In fact, the difficulties in the game are quite surmountable. There are always opportunities to solve a problem.
The minus of the game is related to the map, and it is probably simply useless if you take other games of this genre. Sometimes even basic tasks are not performed, namely, the current location is not clear and it is not clear where to go next. But sometimes the room turns 90 degrees and the map stays still, so it takes time to figure out where to go.
After visiting, the location is marked as already explored, although nothing is known about it.
This game wins thanks to the unique gameplay that you can quickly get used to. At the same time, the visual component, like the music, is top notch. However, there are still questions about the map.
