Support narratives at Aeon Drive are at best distracting, but the gameplay presented here is an absolute pleasure if you understand everything. In theory it sounds like a small, trivial boost, but if you’re just a few feet away from your final goal, these extra seconds make all the difference. If you can pick up 5 in a row fast enough, you can activate their power and immediately add 5 seconds to your timer. Thankfully, you can pick up egg timers scattered throughout the level to offset the countdown. When the timer reaches zero, the game is over and you have to start over (there is a small inconvenience due to the small level scale and fast loading speed). They all sport different routes with their own strengths and weaknesses.Ĭompeting for levels is enough, but in the game it’s a good idea to implement a 30-second timer for each level to move as quickly as possible. Armed with a sword and a teleport dagger, you need to take Jackerin to a wide variety of levels. In this game in Neo Barcelona’s cyberpunk environment, space ranger Jackerin is desperately rushing through the city to find a drive core to repair a ship. Aeon Drive is all speed running.It’s that hook and it’s good one. People may rely on glitches and exploits to “break” the game, but often when learning internal and external mechanisms to identify the most efficient route from A to B. Speed running has been an integral part of the gaming community for decades. Capture with Nintendo Switch (handheld / undocked)
