How Long Is Aluna: Sentinel of the Shards?
El Diablo de la conquista
This 'Diablo-like' games is based on a comic by a colombian actress that I had the pleasure to interview a few months ago. But sadly, is not a great game.
I love that there are more titles focused on the indigenous nations of Latin America (not enough tho), but I don't like the way this game just takes the presumed aesthetics and names of the tribes without being a faithful representation. Why are the Tairona people (a chibcha tribe) adoring incan deities? What the hell is the aztec pantheon doing here?
Is also not a pretty game, the mechanics are not really deep and the localization is awful. It can be a lot of fun at times, but it runs like shit on PS4.
You can read my full review in spanish here.
Is you still wanna play it (as I said, it can be fun even with those flaws) please do it on PC. I also played that version and is a lot better.
I had the chance to speak with Paula Garcés, a Colombian-Unitedstat.... ¿Colombian-American? actress (Maria in Harold and Kumar) that recently produced and worked in Aluna: Sentinel of the Shards, video game based on her own comic, The World of Aluna.
You can read the interview in GamerFocus. As usual, its in spanish.
The comic is a nice superhero story set during the conquest of America and the main character is the daughter of the indigenous goddess Pachamama and a conquistador. The game is a small and fun Diablo-like. Its not very expensive and worth a look.
