Description: Virtual reality meets the world of old school role play! Good must fight and triumph over an evil power intent on the gathering of your land’s magic and the destruction of your people, the Keepers. As you fight your way through the World of Tiani with spell and sword, you have the voice of your sister, Alphita, helping you along the way. An old friend named Milo stands by your side when the fighting is grim. Built exclusively for VR, this adventure of spell and sword will immerse you in a world filled with creatures of darkness, bent on the destruction of all.
Review: It’s hard to know what to say about ‘Tiani’ with the main reason being that I don’t know how I feel about the ‘old school role play’ style of game. But I am willing to put the graphics to one side as the low-poly style is indeed the style the developer was going for, but the retro gameplay is not welcome at all. With sword action being lame and the spellcasting feeling weak and pointless the game is not fun to play at all, or is that the retro style that I am missing the point of? Either way, this is not something that is worth the £15.49 asking price and it is not something I will be recommending anytime soon, but if I somehow missed the point and style of the game do let me know in the comments below.
