6/23/2023 0 Comments Runner 3 charactersNot to the absurd lengths of levels such as Odyssey from the first Runner, thankfully, but they are a bit longer than Runner2‘s courses for sure, with each major stage packing 100 gold bars, 25 pink diamonds and a hidden puppet. For starters, the levels are a lot longer than in the second game. Unfortunately, from the very first world of the game, Runner 3 shows off some pretty big annoyances that were very noticeable as a fan of the second Runner title. ![]() This means that there will be levels to teach you the importance of sliding, springing, double jumping and kicking before you’re able to use them in the previous levels, and for most of those traits this restriction works fine. ![]() Like in Runner 2, you won’t start out with your entire moveset, as you’ll have to learn it over the course of the first world. Runner3 offers three main worlds to traverse, with three additional side worlds to explore, each with 10 normal levels each and some bonus challenge levels thrown in the mix as well. The music’s pretty OK as well, with some levels having new songs that are of the same great quality Runner 2 established, and while some levels end up going with songs that might irritate you after many attempts, the good news is that like with Runner 2, these songs triumph over the awful OST of the original Bit Trip Runner which was filled with repetitive noise. On the bright side, every world looks fantastic with all the familiar wackiness the series is known for included, which also includes the realistic and creepy designs of characters like Uncle Dill. More often than not though, some of these perspective changes can really mess up the nature of a few levels by making things hard to see or properly judge until it’s too late, even though the game still offers a lot of side-scrolling fun as well. No longer fixed to a 2D plane, the camera will often pan behind, over-the-shoulder, or above depending on the level. While Runner 2 used a 2.5D art style that looked rather good, complimented by fantastic retro levels that looked really authentic to the NES days, Runner3 goes for a full-blown 3D art style, at least for the main levels. ![]() In this sequel to the stellar Runner 2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien, you take control of CommanderVideo who sets out on another adventure to stop the evil Timbletot from causing havoc across the world!
