the game has also a difficulty toggle, which is set to normal by default, but you can increase or decrease the difficulty from there if a particular level gets you a little much trouble.
Panzer Paladin doesn't need a big in-depth plot with tons of character development because it serves it's purpose as almost a revisionist history version of NES-era Mega Man where the Blue Bomber is replaced with a spunky, blue-haired robot anime girl and Rush is replaced by a badass Evangellion/Gundam mech. While I personally believe this game is amazing and is on par with or exceeds Shovel Knight in some regards, I feel as though the game may be destined to be an obscure hidden gem for the Switch. It should have been part of yesterday's Nintendo Direct to drum up some hype for it in all honesty. Just know that if you're thinking about buying it, the game is worth every cent. It makes me wonder if and how the upcoming Cyber Shadow can follow up on it's quality. I just hope the game sells well enough to warrant a sequel that expands upon the game's novel ideas.
This seems quite generic and unspecial . Yes it doesn’t need any story but then what does it have over some great nes platformers released 30 years ago. Another retro styled game that was released recently was bloodstained curse of the moon 2 which had five endings, 8 characters and a simple but effective story with cutscenes between every stage. As for cyber shadow yacht club are good at making memorable experiences which aren’t “this could be a 2d platformer from the 90s” so I suspect it will be much much better. Out of all the indie games I’ve seen recently this one seems to be the most uninspired. I hope tribute games continues to make games and that they learn for the mistakes that held them back here.
Actually, the game takes cues from a lot of games out there, like Mega Man, Castlevania, Ghosts 'n' Goblins, Zelda II, DuckTales, Blaster Master, Metal Storm, and Ninja Gaiden.
@@robertbektas1810 "Yes it doesn’t need any story but then what does it have over some great nes platformers released 30 years ago" Nothing, and that's perfectly fine. Not everyone goes for story in games (one of my neighbors really detest stories in games, with one of the only few he cared about being Saints Row 2). For me, Panzer Paladin is just pure casual fun and nothing more. That's more than enough for me.
Kojou Akatsuki then why should buy it when it its less aesthetically pleasing than NES megaman and it costs 15 schmakeroons, you’ve also ignored the rest of my comment.
@@seid82 plus the game had a hard mode and a speedrun mode i have never understood the facination with hard games equals good game easy games equals flawed.
It has more of an 80s aesthetic reminiscent of NES, SMS and TurboGrafx-16 games. The 90s was the era of Sega Genesis, SNES, Sega Saturn, PlayStation, N64.
Metal Warriors had, I think, 8 mech types to get into. That game was tight. I rented it several times as a kid and could never get past the mission where you have the heavy mech (I forget it's name) with the artillery and you have to defend the ship. When I played it as an adult though I got passed it no problem.
I don't think the game being too easy is a problem for it. Nowadays everyone wants to make NES hard type platformers. It's nice to hear that there is a retro-style platformer that isn't trying to do that. As long as the game is fun and not frustrating, what's wrong with that?
All of Derek's complaints sound like positives to me (that's just me tho). I like when I can finish a game with a moderate amount of challenge rather than getting frustrated cause I'm not good enough or whatever. I love me some good pixel art with fast meaty hits and this game speaks to me in so many levels. Totally picking this up.
It's funny because the NWR review talked about how tough this game is. Maybe Derek has leveled up too much after playing all those old Castlevania games... Lol
Yeah, it’s funny to hear this game is way too easy. I just heard about this game today and checked a few other reviews before this one. And multiple other reviews talked about how difficult this game was. All I know is I love Mega Man, and Shovel Knight is one of my favorite games in recent years. So this game looks to be right in line with games I love.
@@jeffreybrown7792 I will say after doing a playthrough, this game is somewhat easy with a few challenging points for those familiar with the genre, but considering how hard Flinthook was for me (I'm not sure if I'll ever beat the final gauntlet level tbh) I'm okay with Tribute making something a bit more accessible here. Definitely a fun game!
Wow. The actual game systems in this game look among the best there is, I kind of want them to keep everything they done here for a sequel where it has difficulties meant to really challenge all of these abilities you have in this game. Hopefully, this does well enough for them to keep on with this because this looks like it could blossom into another well-loved series if tweaked just so right. The game elements here are executed in a way that could give the combined efforts of the original Shovel Knight campaign and Blaster Master a run for their money. You can see the love and care they put into it.
Sounds like it's Mega Man 1: a fun game with great ideas but flawed execution, that would (or could in the case of Panzer Paladin) perfect its gameplay in the sequel.
I know it's a very fine line, but I always thought there was some kind of charm to supporting casts sometimes not getting fleshed out much. I don't know... something about it. Or maybe it's my introvert tendencies showing themselves : there are tons of people I come across knowing full well I'll never getting to know them. x)
Do all games need to be brutally hard? I never found Shantae, Shovel Knight, Blaster amaster Zero or The Messenger to be brutally hard. They felt just right. I’m betting this game is in that same area.
i quite like the idea of a nice accessable platformer which i can just kick back and play without any of the megaman style frustration. The artstyle looks great and gameplay mechanics seem interesting. I think its a title i will pick up for a casual bit of gaming in between Ghost of Tsushima sessions.
All of the review's negatives seem like positives to me. Weapons break but they're so plentiful that you don't need to miss them too much? Fabulous. Level choice without consequences or ramifications? Ducktales was awesome for this, so no problem to me. Fairly easy to play through? Let me tell you, I SUCK at these types of games, so if I can actually play through one w/o getting frustrated, I'll be very pleased. That DRAGON OMG! That thing looks SO badass, I want it to be my pet.
Good review man, I liked the look of this one when I spotted it on the e-shop, luckily I managed to get a review key for it too, I found those last five levels a lot more difficult compared to the countries, it caught me off guard lol and I was playing on easy difficulty.
You lower the score just because there wasn't much or the challenge but I say this game is pretty tough in some areas. I would give it a lower score for not having any more variety than the breakable weapons.
It has potential but I have to say I do like the ability to choose your boss level order, what these games should do is progressive difficulty altering the levels as you get further, no matter the level order you choose, it doesn't need to be massive changes just the right enemy placement and maybe a more challanging path
Huh, I'm surprised you got far enough to be talking about the final level. Well, maybe you played it on Steam. I got it on Switch and while I got through the prologue, it doesn't allow me to finish any other level. It always crashes shortly after the centaur boss appears on whatever level I choose and drops its weapon. I am just waiting on a patch to play it again as I enjoyed it, but no point to continue as it crashes so much.
I'm not forced to play a guessing game as to which levels I should do first like in Mega Man? Sounds like a plus to me, honestly. Great informative review! I may give this one a try.
If a game is too easy but fun to play, change the controller, use a fight stick or a nes contoller. That's what I do. Even to replay finished game to had replayabilty.
There’s something very strange about “tribute” games. I think they’re just the publisher (I’m unsure on that) but this, flinthook and mercenary kings are all great games with great concepts but they all reach a point where it’s like “yeah I’m still doing this...” I love all 3 of these game but have never completed them.
To be honest most of the issues of the game can just be fix with increased difficulty. Extra damage and no upgrades and that would be more than enough for the game to be hard and enjoyable. A single patch could fix most of the issues shown in the video. Nonetheless, I still think that the game looks amazing and I still want to play it. I hope we get a physical release.
The easier challenge really suits me, I don't have hours of spare time anymore and if a game is too challenging I just end up not playing it. Bought this the moment ot was out, and I'm really enjoying it. Love the characters, artwork is gorgeous, soundtrack amazing. Highly recommended
The Story for these types of games used to be all in the manual and you could just jump in, just like stage one of this game. I think it's good thing the story is lighter. This looks awesome.
Your assessment is EXACTLY how I felt. I want a sequel with some challenge. Still really liked it but it could have been harder or at least had a harder mode as even hard mode, as you said, wasn't pushing me.
Is anyone else findin gthey cannot save progress once they get to the inverted tower?? I thohut maybe that was intentional ala Wily stages from megaman 2, but I've seen streamers just load up their games and go into the second or third inverted tower stages... Anyone know what's going on!? I beat stage 1 on hard mode and it was a painful accomplishment only to see it count for nothing!
Others have said it but definitely reminds me of Metal Warriors that was one of my favorite games from the SNES days. I'll be picking this up for sure.
I really love this art style but I wish it were hand drawn. That's what I wanted to when I saw that amazing old art on the boxes of games but when I played it I was a little disappointed
your idea of easy and mine are very different haha. I literally can't beat and level besides the intro level I spent like an hour trying to beat just one level no go
my 1st video after subbing so I don't know the level of interaction you have with commenters so I don't know if you've talked about this before. Anyway, this graphic style is pixel art? I think. The kind that resemble 8 and 16bit games. Obviously, to me anyway the eShop seems overrun with that graphical style digital games. It's hard for r me to accept that this is what switch owners want. At least want more of than any other style. I have maybe 4 out 85 switch games that are pixel art. (Carrion qualife's I believe. Awesome game.) Are these types of games just easier and or less expensive to design? Thanks.
I was pretty pumped for this game but im getting annoyed w the increased price on retro titles. Bloodstained cotm 2 @15 & now this at 20? $10 prices and they both wouldve been day 1. Now theyre on my list for black friday.
The OST is a master piece and one of the best music tracks in years however the game itself feels too limited. I didn't like the whole durability and break the weapon for the spell mechanics. The weapons needed more abilities, combos and they should not break. Is like megaman could only use a boss power for certain amount of times during the game without the possibilty to re charge it and if it runs out he has to go back to the same level again and get the same weapon again.
@NeoKurow check out Patrice Bourgeault on Bandcamp. He did the music on this one. If you like it, he also did the OSTs for Mercenary Kings and Flinthook, and both are equally excellent. LOL, I only found out about this game because I'm following him on Bandcamp and the OST released. Now I have a new game to pick up.
It seems like a great game but feels like they could have done a bit more with the ideas. Perhaps in the sequel you can get Into different mechs? Each stage has special gimmick parts? Harder difficulty? The bosses weapons being a bit more special but can still break and be permanently gone? Perhaps can be used for endings? Adaptors for the mech?
I feel this game is fine difficulty lvl wise some times I don't want a hollow knight challenge I sometimes just want toinjoy a game and pick up and go but a great little game
Derek is not the best platformer, so if he says its easy, veterans will not have fun. For those who want to just enjoy the game's atmosphere, its worth it.
@@Gale_Storm_ yes but he does die a lot in those games. on one of his streams he even admits not being good. thats why i am subbed to gamexplain. the whole cast arent hardcore expert players, but they deliver news fast and always share their opinion no matter biased. :)
Did the character really need to have been made a mech? He doesn't even shoot. Or do much other "mech" things. I wanna buy it cause it's on sale but it looked a bit boring to play. Loved the aesthetics though
On a side note: the Scrooge McDuck Method would be a sick band name.
Freakin underrated game💌
Yea it would
honestly, I'm such a noob when it comes to platformes that a game being "too easy" is a good thing in my book.
I recommend contra, castlevania, and ghost n goblins.

I'm alright with the game being on the easier side; If I want something more difficult, there's plenty of other games to scratch that itch.
Same! I enjoy easier and shorter games the most since I work a full time job and don't have a lot of time to play videogames these days!
I don't think it's easy. this man is a video game master or my 30+ years of gaming are failing me lol
Exactly. If you want difficulty play Hollow Knight. Not every game has to be a Dark Souls clone. Just enjoy it for what it is.
@@seid82 plus the game had a hard mode and a speedrun mode i have never understood the facination with hard games equals good game easy games equals flawed.
gaystatue yeah it took me a minute to beat that game. After dying like 900 times I got the hang of it.🤣🤣 Still pissed me off though...
Also, Panzer Paladin probably has one of the coolest title names in games ever.
Their previous games were relesed by Limited Run Games so that will probably happen too.
This game is very much based on Panzer World Galient.
This game could have been a first party game from the 90's, and I like that style. Looks amazing!
Yep. And a mint one worth $400-$500 by now.
It has more of an 80s aesthetic reminiscent of NES, SMS and TurboGrafx-16 games. The 90s was the era of Sega Genesis, SNES, Sega Saturn, PlayStation, N64.

90s anime mixed with this one game i played on the SNES, Metal Warrior.
Reminds me alot of Metal warrior and Metal Storm. A person that controls a giant robot.

PraiseTheAlmightyGod MW was fantastic. I still remember the music and cool intro.
Blaster Master Zero

MegaMan has me contemplate suicide at times.
I think the true Hard Mode would be trying to beat the entire game with just Flame.
I hope this gets a physical.
Me, too. I'm curious to see if GRIT has to cough like us humans.
Lets get physical
Just announced by limited run games, physical copy
This artstyle looks AMAZING!!!
There is simply no noteworthy mecha animations in this game..it's simply a 2D platformer trying to cash in on some mecha craze
If anybody's interested, this game is got its inspiration from a show called Panzer World Galient.

Honestly if it's easy that's a plus in my book. I'm not great at platformers and this one looks/sounds really fun
Just beat Bloodstained 4 times, but sure, I'll take another retro action platformer any day.
You should try out The Messenger
Is there a physical
Nice game review . ❤️❤️😎😎
I’m personally a little tired of retro side scrollers, but this looks pretty fun.

We really need Panzer Paladin 2
The designs remind me of 90’s anime.
The feel of the game is as if Gundam and Mega Man has a baby.
80s anime with less guns
It's a mix between Blaster master, Castlevania, and Deamon X Machina.
Looks like a spin-off of master blaster

It looks really cool and I'm glad it's not another nightmare difficulty game.
On the Switch wish list, waiting for a sale it goes.
Love the look of the game . thanks for the review!
As someone who sucks at everything, I don’t think I’ll mind the difficulty level.

Its like Blaster Master meets gundam.
Good to know there are gems amongst the Junk
Yeessss a hockey stick! This game looks awesome.
Ok, I guess I'll try it
Did the character really need to have been made a mech? He doesn't even shoot. Or do much other "mech" things. I wanna buy it cause it's on sale but it looked a bit boring to play. Loved the aesthetics though
A new Panzer Dragoon game?!
Oh wait...
