[ACTUALITE] Ary And The Secret Of Seasons



On behalf of eXiin and Modus Games, thanks for your continuous support of Ary and the Secret of Seasons! We hope you are enjoying your time in Valdi so far, and for everyone else, we cannot wait for you to master the seasons and become the hero of your own story. Ary was a very ambitious project for both of our teams, and we will be continuously monitoring your feedback to address any issues, bugs, or general problems along the way to make sure everyone has the best experience possible. We have already identified a few issues which we are working on resolving right away.


What had me excited about Ary and the Secret of Seasons was her unique ability to shift seasons. By using guardian abilities, she can create pathways and solve puzzles. Some puzzles require using multiple seasons to solve. I wish I had come across some of those before the ozone came crumbling down around me. There was one stand out puzzle in which I had to time using winter with a swinging ball in order to reach a nearby rooftop. That was pretty neat once I managed to time all the jumps.




[ACTUALITE] Ary And The Secret Of Seasons



Ary and the Secret of Seasons is an action-adventure game that gives you dominion over the seasons and the power to save the world. If that sounds familiar, it should; Ary is not unlike The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons, a beloved Gameboy Color title. Unfortunately, Ary is a bit too ambitious for its own good, stretching itself thin with simplistic, unrewarding combat, barren zones, and unpolished or outright broken gameplay elements. Ary and the Secret of Seasons is a charming PC game with clever puzzles and a comfy aesthetic, but it bogs down the good parts with sloppy, tedious, or seemingly unfinished ones.


Ary and the Secret of Seasons is an action adventure in the tradition of the Zelda franchise. The player is set loose in an open world brimming with side quests, dungeon-like Ruins, and lots of hidden secrets. Thankfully, Ary can manipulate the beautifully detailed environments with Seasonal Spheres in order to progress and uncover those secrets.


Ary and the Secret of Seasons is an award-winning adventure game following a young girl named Aryelle, or Ary, as she journeys across the great world of Valdi. By becoming the Guardian of Winter, Ary gains the ability to manipulate the seasons around her. Ary will learn to control the seasons and use them to defeat enemies, overcome obstacles, and solve complex puzzles on her adventure across Valdi.


After a mysterious force throws the seasons of Valdi into disarray, Ary decides to assist the Guardians of Seasons and sets out to find the source of the mayhem. Using her wits and courage, Ary will have to overcome monstrous enemies, secret plots, and stuffy traditions to save Valdi and bring balance to the world once more.


Long ago, the world of Valdi was threatened by an evil mage. After a great struggle, he was defeated by the Legendary Warrior and sealed inside the Vault, imprisoned for all eternity. To ensure the mage's imprisonment, four great sages swore to keep watch and protect the Vault. They formed the original Guardians of Seasons, a secretive organization now steeped in history and legend.


Ary and the Secret of Seasons is a 3D adventure game set in the world of Valdi. Each of the four regions of Valdi represents one of the four seasons (spring, summer, autumn, and winter), and the seasons in each region should never change. The adventure begins when the seasons are disrupted and each region is instead thrown into an unfamiliar season.


I will start by saying that I think the developers made a great decision by giving the player access to all four seasons before the first full dungeon. It opens up an incredible number of possibilities for exploring and interacting with the world. I really enjoyed messing around and seeing what would happen when I mixed-and-matched the seasons around.


The first few hours of the game are spent on story setup and easing you into mechanics. It went on for so long, though, that I began to wonder if the game had large, themed dungeons at all. It also set an expectation that I would not have access to all four seasons.


You only begin with access to winter, and you pick up summer when you reach the town in the second region (which will be roughly one to two hours into the game if you take your time). I thought I might not get all four seasons until just before the end of the game and never get to use them to their full potential. I was very glad to be wrong about that, but I wish the pacing had not made me doubt it at all.


Next, my expectation was that each temple would focus on puzzles involving a specific season (or perhaps a pair of seasons, by using the true season of the temple to override the season that had taken over). Instead, every season felt useful in every area. Sometimes, it was necessary (or at least useful) to use all four seasons in the same room!


One thing I do really like about the enemy design is how they change with the seasons. For example, some enemies have impenetrable shields of ice during the winter. The only way to hurt them is to pull them into a different season to melt the shield. Certain enemies have thorns for armor in some seasons, and other enemies might not exist at all in some seasons. The developers really took care to make sure that everything was affected by the seasons.


A lot of sidequests involve helping the residents navigate their new lives in unfamiliar seasons. For example, when you reach the Summer Region, which is stuck in winter, you find many people in beachwear who are completely unprepared for the cold.


In Ary and the Secret of Seasons, you can change the season wherever you want. It can be the overworld, inside a dungeon, or even inside a house. But the change is confined to a sphere created by the ability. So, a single house can have multiple seasons inside it at once.


Ary and the Secret of Seasons follows the journey of a young girl named Ary across the magnificent world of Valdi. To the surprise of many, Ary has joined the Guardians of Seasons, an old organization traditionally ruled by men. Her task: successfully restore the seasons of Valdi! With strength, determination, and self-control as her pillars, Ary will set out to accomplish a feat no other guardian has ever managed.
