Stalen Rijk Kronieken (Nieuw)

The hand-drawn world really does feel like stepping into a Miyazaki film, and the flying contraptions keep each level feeling totally new. I’ve been playing the Mega Drive version and the vessel switching adds just the right amount of variety to the combat.

I was a bit skeptical about a game having two vessels, but switching between them keeps the combat unpredictable. The art style really captures that whimsical flying world vibe from the old movies I love.

The flying contraptions feel like something straight out of Porco Rosso, and switching between the two vessels keeps the dogfights from ever getting stale. I've sunk hours into this and the Miyazaki-style world still makes me stop and stare.
