Dinsun Review
I’ll give credit where it’s due: drawing your attack paths is a fun gimmick. It makes the combat feel more deliberate and physics-focused than your typical button masher. Figuring out the right curve to land a flying kick is satisfying for a while. However, the game around this mechanic is as bare-bones as it gets. It’s yet another stickman game with white backgrounds and minimal detail. It feels like a prototype that should have been developed further.
The AI is predictably dumb, usually just standing there while you wind up a massive arc of a punch. The levels are repetitive, and the 'bosses' are just larger versions of the same stickmen. It’s an interesting mechanical experiment, but it lacks the content or the polish to be a truly good game. It’s fun for an hour, but you’ll see everything it has to offer in that time. Another case of a good idea being wasted on a low-budget production.
