MicrotonalMatt rated Halen: Ballad of the Blade Thief

A downloadable game for Windows.

I couldn't believe this was made by students. The controls are incredible, the level design is awesome. The pacing of the levels felt perfect and I was wanting so much more when it was over. The voice acting was another step up in quality even if I thought some of the writing was not for me. I'd want to play a full 20+ hour game with this duo and these controls. My only complaint was the AI for the enemies was kind of non-existent and mobs of enemies would move in unison and the flying bombers would sprinkle the entire floor with mines while you are doing other things. Otherwise it felt like I was playing a hidden gem of a late PS2/early HD platformer.
