Flynn: Son of Crimson 1.0

Flynn: Son of Crimson is a side scrolling adventure platform game that is still in it's alpha phase of development but looks to be incredibly promising. 

The controls are simple enough to master although it's recommended to play using a controller rather than keyboard and mouse and this does become apparent when it's necessary to use the melee attack and also use the keys on your keyboard to move, dodge or roll simultaneously it can be quite difficult to co-ordinate those movements but it's still a lot of fun.

You play as the titular character Flynn an orphaned child who is on a mission to try and discover his origins while making his way through these enchanting worlds.

The combat system is very satisfying although there are a few parts in the game which can leave you a little perplexed but as this is still just the alpha demo there is plenty of time for the developers Studio Thunderhorse to iron out any kinks. 

The melee attack animations in Flynn: Son of Crimson are very cool as are the special moves such as the roll and the overall look and feel of the game is a little retro but at the same time heaps of fun.
