You can also read my first impressions of Clarity below:
Pros:
- Beautiful hand drawn characters.
- Non-linear stage selection.
- Intriguing mix of Mega Man and Wonder Boy.
Cons:
- None.
Overall:
Clarity: The Seven Demons of Vanguardia is a 2D action platformer.
Aside from its standout hand drawn characters, the game standout by mixing elements of Mega Man and Wonder Boy.
The gameplay is similar to games like Wonder Boy, where you explore the environment with simple attacks and jumping. Clarity does deviate by mixing some Mega Man elements, since you are able to play through the first six stages in any order.
Like Mega Man, you will unlock elemental attacks, which can be used to exploit weaknesses in enemies and even bosses.
So, if you are a fan of Mega Man and/or Wonder Boy, then you should definitely give Clarity: The Seven Demons of Vanguardia a try.
