Botanicula Review – Pointing, Clicking, Evolving
“Point and click adventure games are dead” carries no weight, going by Amanita Games’ release library. The Czech indie developer churned out five short point and click games among 2003 and 2008, and far more recently, the complete-length hit Machinarium in 2009, and most lately on April 19, Botanicula.
And, Botanicula has won more than the wallets of a lot of men and women already, despite some awkwardness amongst pre-orders on GOG and the Humble Bundle.
Botanicula’s biggest competition is truly only other Amanita titles, as other point’n’click titles, like Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP (which Jeroen reviewed earlier this week) appeal to a distinct audience. As their internet site puts it, Botanicula is a “relaxed game perfect for hardcore gamers, their partners, families and seniors.”
With such a massive target audience, reviewing Botanicula requires an adjusted metric. Expectations will be distinct for every kind of person who picks it up, so I aim to look at Botanicula’s potential to appeal to a diverse audience, as nicely as its merit against other Amanita titles.
From the really starting, Botanicula is a straightforward game. In its opening moments, you are introduced to the common shape of the story – the continuation of life in Botanicula’s ecosystem depends on the germination of the large glowing seeds of the trees on which all the species of the forest reside. Even so, just as the seeds are about to fall from the tree, a giant spider comes and sucks the life out of all but 1 of them, which drops from the tree just in time and lands in the care of the very first of the major characters, Mr. Lantern.
