Dinsun Review
I respect the cultural ambition here. It's rare to see Kurdish representation in games. But being a 'good project' and being a 'good game' are two different things. From a technical standpoint, Hellene is very rough. The animations are stiff, and the level design is rudimentary at best.
It feels like it was made a decade ago. If you’re playing it to support the culture or learn a bit about the setting, you might find some value. But if you're looking for a platformer that competes with anything else on the store, you'll be disappointed. It lacks the polish and mechanical complexity needed to be more than a curiosity.
