Violet Wisteria Review (PlayStation 5)
Violet Wisteria Review, Return to the style of Japanese fantasy platformers from the ’80s and ’90s as you take command of brave heroine Wisteria Asagiri on her quest to save Earth, the Higher Realm, and the Under-Realms from the dark wizard Maskandes! Violet Wisteria is a side-scrolling action platformer with a unique tri-color attack system. Requiring quick judgment and precision, this system allows Wisteria to execute sword slashes and thrusts based on an enemy’s color, where only the correct attack will strike true.
Violet Wisteria Review Pros:
- Nice graphics.
- 159.7MB download size.
- Platinum trophy.
- You get the PlayStation 4 and the PlayStation 5 versions of the game.
- Three difficulties – practice, Hyper easy, and ultra hard.
- Color hints – on/off.
- Three control type choices – direction, shoulder, and face.
- In-game still screen cutscenes.
- 2D action-platformer gameplay.
- The gimmick is you have three attacks that each have a color, enemies are set colors so you have to do an attack not matching them.
- Match colors with an enemy to get a bounce-off move to help cross gaps.
- Hud shows time, score and when pressing a button will show the color assigned.
- Magic can be used for attacks but it decreases your level timer.
- Nice soundtrack.
- The pause screen shows the colors.
- Item boxes to break for life or items.
- Uses a life bar system.
Violet Wisteria Review Cons:
- A lot to remember and you always forget when it’s needed.
- The platforming is fine until you have to do the bounce-off enemies.
- Frustrating platform sections.
- Has a big knockback on taken damage.
- Parts of the level require you to die to get an enemy to spawn.
