Tasomachi: Behind The Twilight
Gentle, unassuming, straightforward: the kind of adjectives that best apply to this easygoing (there’s another) adventure are the sort you’d rarely see on a game’s Steam store page. But then Tasomachi’s modesty is a virtue: there is an appealingly unpretentious feel to the debut game from multihyphenate Nocras, an experienced artist credited on the likes of Final Fantasy XIV and Breath Of The Wild. Inevitably, there’s a bit of both games here. Many of its tasks are akin to MMO-style collection quests, while a series of shrine challenges are essentially Zelda if it were a 3D platformer, with composer Ujico supplying a score that could easily be titled Lo-Fi Beats To Jump Gaps To.
