Little Orpheus

Space, the final frontier, has been the theme of video games since the earliest days of the gaming industry, movies, books, and even mythology. Space has always been a center of attention for us, humans, since narration began. This game we're covering today takes us to a harsh time where space was the center of attention once again, and surprise us by going in the opposite direction. The devs at The Chinese Room came out with this crazy game called Little Orpheus, and now that it's getting new releases on different platforms, it is the best moment to talk about it. With the new versions, this game is or will be, available on Apple Arcade, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch. But what is all the fuss about with Little Orpheus? Well, let's talk about it.

About the game

The year is 1962, and NASA is trying to send a man to the Moon, but in some corner of Syberia, a soviet cosmonaut was getting ready to go in the opposite direction. Ivan Ivanovich falls into an extinct volcano in his exploration capsule Little Orpheu. His mission is to explore the center of the Earth, but he suddenly disappears in this mission. Three years later he re-emerges into the surface, and he’s claiming to have saved the world.

In Little Orpheus, we'll join comrade Ivanovich in his three-year mission inspired by Flash Gordon and Journey to the Center of the Earth. In this mission, we'll explore ancient jungles, and get to face incredible and horrifying creatures. Get never-before-seen at how crazy this center of the Earth can be, and save the world.

A crazy experience

This technicolor adventure is a side-scrolling, platformer game with clear inspiration in classic science fiction. This is also a complete twist from other games from this same developer, as believe it or not it is made by the same people that developed Dear Esther and Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs. This title was exclusively launched as an Apple Arcade exclusive game, and that comes with some strings attached to it.

On one hand, we get to see a very artistic experience, with interesting designs and beautiful visuals. But on the other hand, we have a game that's more focused on the casual audience since it was originally created to be played only on iPhones and iPads. The transition to PC and Console is pretty smooth, and it looks just as beautiful, but this is not a game to play if you're looking for a challenging experience.

8

Little Orpheus is a beautiful and artistic game, it has some incredible art and excellent designs, it has that feel of 60s' art we are used to seeing in the classic pieces of that decade. But the science fiction elements and the adventure part is done incredibly well. We have to mention yet again that this game is more of an artistic experience instead of a challenging game. But if you're into this style, this game is just perfect for you.

Pros:

  • Great visuals
  • Incredible art
  • Fun gameplay
  • Good story

Cons:

  • Very casual
  • Not much to do
  • Short
