The nicest thing about The Deeplight Expedition is the speed. For me, a large part of what makes a platformer fun is how the character reacts - does it run fast, does it jump high? And in The Deeplight Expedition, both are true; the protagonist is extremely responsive and zips all over the screen as you control it.
Other than the fun dynamics, it's a fairly stock platformer. You don't have weapons (at least not as far as I got into the game - maybe later on). You're basically navigating an abandoned maze, fraught with traps and danger, collecting runes and trying to retrieve an ancient artifact.
The game is large - I don't think you can finish the whole thing in 10 minutes. (I've certainly tried, and I've played it for longer than that with no end in sight.) If you're not bent on completing it, though, I think it makes for a very enjoyable casual game. It also automatically pauses when it loses focus, so you can easily come back to it several times during the day.The Deeplight Expedition is a fun, retro platformer - Time-Waster originally appeared on Download Squad on Wed, 22 Sep 2010 14:00:00 EST.
