Review: Capsized
Weird vegetation, underground villages, and even questionable terrain are just some of the things you’ll run into as you make your way through the mysterious alien world in Capsized. This 2D action platformer features plenty of challenges to overcome and simple puzzles to solve, and ultimately rewards you for exploring all of its nooks and crannies. Though it might only take you a couple of hours to finish, Capsized offers enough enjoyable moments to make this a worthwhile trip–if you can make it past some technical issues along the way.
Capsized follows the journey of a squad of astronauts shipwrecked on a strange planet, and one crewmember’s efforts to help them make it back home. Their story is told through illustrated panels shown during each stage’s loading screen, so a lot of the details as to what’s going on are left up to you to figure out. The overall ambience, as well as its narrative structure, gets you engaged in how the story is developing, and makes you wonder what new things await your little astronaut. The game also features a calming, almost ominous soundtrack that works hand in hand with the story, further enhancing the feeling of being alone in an unknown world.
