2.5/5

It’s not easy to come up with a new idea when it comes to fantasy stories, whether because it takes a very unbridled imagination, or because it’s impossible not to inspire yourself from what’s already out there, consciously or otherwise. However, it’s enough to ignite that initial spark for everything to come together little-by-little after that.

Andoran Skye XD is a 2.5D RPG with platformer and adventure elements, in which the goal is to explore a unique world and save it from destruction. The interesting difference comes in the form of mythical creatures called Skye, and they leave at the very core of every planet in the universe. However, they need protection in order to survive, which is where heroes and warriors come in.

The story puts you in the role of a guy who is neither a hero nor a warrior, yet he needs to handle the task of taming a Skye in order to save it from a dying planet. As you may have already guessed, the whole story is pretty humorous and it’s a pretty light take on the whole fantasy concept. On the other hand, you can still have a lot of fun with it even so.

Although the game world feels a tad too linear sometimes, you can forget about that whenever you are engaged in dialog, watching a cutscene or fighting an enemy. The combat is quite interesting, although it follows classic turn-based rules and it’s not overly complex. Hence, the simplicity of the experience can be overlooked if you are having fun exploring the weird world.

As for the graphics, they can be a bit rough sometimes, especially since the artwork is a bit lazy. It’s worth noting that the development team is very small, so it’s only natural that not all aspects of the game received enough attention. On the other hand, the sprites and some of the landscapes can be pretty nicely designed, depending on whether you can get to terms with the rough lines and poorly-chosen colors.

All things being considered, Andoran Skye XD is obviously not the best looking game out there, nor is the most original. However, it may have what it takes to keep your mind engaged and make you curious about the interesting world it weaves.
