The game isn’t fully voiced acted as the characters speak with half-spoken grunts and various noises. I love the way Röki looks with its beautiful visuals backed up with realistic sound effects. It’s a heartfelt story of grief, loss and family ties, and courage as Tove searches for her brother Lars! Meeting a troll Visuals and Controls What I didn’t expect was the strong emotional narrative that drives through the two central characters. The lore in the game is pretty interesting in its own right, presenting Scandinavian folklore and visual imagery in a great package. Each of these trees is connected to the Mother Tree, which sits at the centre of the forest, and you travel between them via ancient roots. There is a hub system that unlocks when rescuing interlinked trees from the fungus. The inevitable back-tracking that takes place in Röki has been made easy. It saves tediously clicking on every surface and tapping A, and it makes for a smooth, easily accessible experience. Röki has a highlight feature, causing objects you can interact within the environment to flash with a click of the left stick. I like the way the point and click feature is implemented in the game. The game plays like an adventure game, with a good dose of point and click thrown in. From a sunken cabin to a forgotten church, to a Yule Cat’s burrow, there is plenty to see and explore. Röki splits it’s coming of age tale into three separate chapters, each of which has its own setting that you can explore at your own pace. Lovely scenes in the woods Scandinavian Lore That’s a lot of clicking of the ZL button to turn every single page. It can get a little tedious trying to find the correct info you are looking for especially if it’s on page thirty-six. Every time you open the journal it starts at page one. While the journal is a great idea to refer to, it not the easiest to flick through the pages in. Tove stores collectables she has picked up in her journal and achievement-like badges she has earned.
You collect notes on each area she has visited and the characters within those areas. Tove has a journal which allows you to view a map. However, sometimes figuring that purpose out might leave you scratching your head for a while! The puzzles in Röki are fairly logical and none of the puzzles are too vague, everything you can interact with in the surroundings has a purpose. Tove collects objects, and uses those objects to progress, ombining objects to solve some puzzles, and figuring out their importance as you advance through the story. You’ll spend your time as Tove walking from place to place, interacting with mystical beasts and characters. The infestation has spread across the land, blinded the trees, and contaminated the waters. The fungal infestation has sent them into a deep, terror-ridden sleep. Unfortunately for the Jötunn, they have succumbed to a fungal infestation that’s spread throughout the magical forest. The house is attacked! Find the Three JötunnĪs the story develops there are three guardians or the Jötunn that Tove has to find to locate her missing brother. Tove and Lars are chased into the snowy woods and separated, leaving Tove with the realisation that some of her brother’s tales may have been true! Tove will have to seek the help of talking trees, trolls and forest guardians to be reunited with Lars again.
Bright and imaginative Lars loves the creatures of his late mother’s bedtime stories, stories of strange creatures he claims to see in the forest! Then, one night after dinner and a bedtime story, their home is attacked by a dark monster. You play as Tove, a young girl who has looked after her younger brother Lars since the loss of their mother. Tove and Lars home in the snow Tove and Lars In June 2020 it was announced it was on its way to the Switch.
