Lysfanga: The Time Shift Warrior uses a unique gameplay mechanic that has you working with clones of yourself to take down the foes that stand in your way. A compelling story and addictive gameplay make this a must-play title.
We need more games such as this one. Hack and slash is a trite genre, but Lysfanga manages to give it a new, fresh perspective. Not every aspect of the game is perfect, but its core is rock solid.
Lysfanga: The Time Shift Warrior delivers a fun, creative action-adventure with enough charm and new ideas to stand out.
Overall, I’ve enjoyed my play through of Lysfanga: The Time Shift Warrior. The replayability is there with the time objective to try for a better time, with different modifiers and different spells. Lysfanga has challenging arenas, but it feels so rewarding when earning that victory. The story doesn’t stick out particularly strongly with the plot, but the gameplay along the way was pretty fun.
Using the time in combat in a way we´ve seen before very few times -or never-, Lysfanga is able to surprise when it´s time to fight. However, there's little more, despite its beautiful environments and profound lore.
Maybe it's that Lysfanga can't figure out how to square the circle between a combat game and a puzzle game. The game is never sufficiently challenged on either term, with the combat often clunky thanks to its combo commits and random AOE damage, and the puzzle aspects faint and fiddly, mostly concerned with restricting the already-limited gear selection or arbitrarily expanding enemy HP. Its worldbuilding remains quite interesting with some characterful style throughout, but Lysfanga: The Time Shift Warrior needs more satisfying goals and rewards to inspire its players onward to the next loop.
