Game Reviews

Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom immerses players into a land that has been devoured by darkness. No one in the kingdom survived except for one thief, Tepeu, who is determined to fight against the tide of darkness and save the kingdom. While searching for a lost treasure in a castle, the thief meets Majin, the guardian of the kingdom who has been isolated and forgotten for ages. Both characters will have to work together, finding ways to get through the kingdom and restore it to its former glory.When Tepeu finds Majin and wakes him from his slumber, he becomes the master of the creature. In Tepeu and Majin’s adventure, the player will have to command Majin throughout the game, from targeting and attacking enemies in combat to solving puzzles that require teamwork. This close relationship between Tepeu and Majin adds an element of strategy to the game, as the characters depend on one another throughout the game. For instance, whenever Tepeu dies in combat, Majin can revive him before he is taken over by the darkness. So as long as Majin is alive in battle, Tepeu can die a lot of times and Majin will always revive him. However, Majin is weak from his slumber and cannot take on all the enemies by himself, so Tepeu’s fighting skills and devastating finishing moves are essential in battle.The Kingdom in the game is very big and exploring it will take some time and patience. In order to get to the next area, players will first have to solve several puzzles. Around every corner, there are puzzles blocking the way that the player will have to overcome, most of which are relatively simple. However, the puzzles offer a lot of variety, such as turning on switches, destroying rocks, catapulting Tepeu to the next area, or even just finding the right path to the next area. Although the constant puzzles can get annoying after a while, their ease makes them manageable and keeps the player interested.
