You adopt a falcon and bond with it through cooking it food and using the dedicated 'pet falcon' button a lot. What more could I ask for? Apparently, more than the game is willing to offer.
The falcon is very cute - and even customizable - but the core mechanics around the falcon are not engaging enough. Combat is relegated to smacking robots with the one stick that you have and letting the falcon help every so often. Taking over the robot bases feels bland and uninspired - and not particularly impactful to the overall game.
When all was said and done, the strengths of the game lies strictly with the interaction with the falcon. But even that sometimes falls flat when the AI is unable to find targets properly that are right out in the open. There's a lot of charm here, but it doesn't make up for an empty world and flimsy world building.

As an Artifex Mundi fan, I'm completely self aware at just how bare bones these games can be. However, Demon Hunter Revelation is the barest of bones. A rare silent protagonist saps a lot of the charm out of the story and even the puzzles repeat themselves over the course of the game. One of the worst seek-and-finds I've played - if not the worst.
One of the best in its class. Having grown up with the likes of the Konami arcade game along with Turtles in Time, Shredder's Revenge brings back that joy of pumping in quarters to get through stage after stage of charming beat-em-up goodness. It doesn't overstay its welcome and even builds upon the strengths of its inspiration.
That being said, there's not a whole lot of meat on its bones. Once you've played through it once, you're done. The journey to the platinum trophy made it just a bit tedious despite only requiring about 10 hours, considering a lot of unnecessary grinding is required to get all of what the game has to offer.
I do still hope to see more of these. Perhaps even something akin to the old X-Men brawler or Aliens Vs. Predator. Licensing is hell, I'm sure, but this is a particularly stellar standout.
