Nitrome has released a new game called Sprint RPG and that is fresh air for the genre. It is not that it is totally new, but it is out of the ordinary. You are practically going to have to finish those dungeons in the shortest time possible.
As Elvira: Mistress of the Dark, a game for Amiga and the Atari 520 ST, although with its distances, it does play in the same league of putting us in the first person through a 3D environment in which we find ourselves locked in dungeons. A game that exudes a lot of art with that monochrome and pixels with their special touch.
Fight the clock to finish the level
sprint rpg practically under the control of a hero exploring a dungeon with a series of buttons. We have the direction buttons to go forward, left and right, and then the attack button and the shield button. And while they can be the scroll buttons, the attack and defense buttons work more like a series of combinations that we have to learn.
And you will wonder why there is that make combinations. We say this because each enemy you come across has a different mechanic to eliminate them. While bats and skeletons usually need one or more direct blows with the sword, there are others that need the combination of attack, shield and attack.
In fact, from the book of discovered enemies we can access the combinations that need to be eliminated. This gives Sprint RPG a very special touch to intuit in advance what is the combination of attacks and defense that we need. In any case, visually we will be taught what to do, apart from the fact that the first time we face one they will tell us how to kill him.
Nitrome and its special Sprint RPG
The truth is that Sprint RPG is a special game from the first moment we start it. We say it because it has a very own visual style and a lot of style. In fact you are going to need a few seconds or minutes to get to that pixel art, but when you have it visually assumed, the truth is that it has its that.
As we have the bestiary, we also have our hero with his armor and more. That is to say, we will also improve our knight who will run against the clock at all times, so do not take false steps, since they will go against us and it will mean that we do not finish the level.
It is true that at first it seems like easy, but as we meet new enemies and time is pressing, we will realize that it is a game that has its things. It is a dungeon game in which we have to learn the combinations and discover treasures in those chests that we will destroy with our sword.

Every time I get to try a new game from this studio called Nitrome, I'm always waiting to see what they're going to surprise us with next; Spicy Piggy himself. A good number of his titles have passed through these lines, and they have always surprised by giving it a special touch to those platforms. Here it happens again, and although it may seem a bit simple at first, when we realize that we have to fly through the dungeons, we will find a better game.
Visually it is a difficult game to play, but when you do it the truth that surprises you. Here we go back to before Nitrome were able to make their own games in which their hand shows. And we can tell you that this is not easy at all in the world of video games. This time they give us the free game, but with a lot of publicity. It has a micropayment for advertising, so you know what to do.
Nitrome relaunches a very interesting game called Sprint RPG and that shows that they know what this mobile game is about. Quality, original, creative and with good finishes are some of the adjectives that have always been linked to this study.
