Iron Roses review

By googoogjoob posted 2nd Sep 2011

So, this game is just 99 cents, so I got it since it was so cheap and I am usually pretty fond of adventure games.

The game isn't really bad per se, but it's mediocre. The plot is okay if cliched (band member must reunite her band in order to compete at the battle of the bands for ONE LAST CHANCE AT STARDOM), and the writing is competent throughout. However, the puzzles are roughly evenly divided between half-baked minigames (click the right note before it fades, click the bugs before they reach the center of the screen, match the color-coded pegs to the color-coded holes, etc) and "puzzles" that are just walking around a room and picking up X number of objects to appease person Z.

The character models are pretty clunky and not particularly well-animated, but that wasn't really an issue for me. The main character has a painfully slow walk compared to the size of the areas she must navigate, but mercifully you can hold down space to speed up her walk.

The music is generic but passable. I don't really actually have any comment on it.

It took me about an hour and a half to beat the game, and I don't actually know whether I properly beat the game, since it invariably crashes while loading whatever comes after the climactic concert cutscene.

So I mean, as a really cheap 90-minute diversion with no replay value, you could do worse, but there are countless free adventure games that are far better than this game.

As an aside, I find it extremely suspicious that this game has 50 votes averaging to 4.8 on GamersGate, yet no reviews. Also, this game is on Steam for, inexplicably, $6.99, while it's $0.99 here.
