What can be said about the Puzzle platformer? A lot, but there\u2019s always something you can do with them. In the case of PiMark Games, they\u2019re deciding to go a bit old school. Much like cinematic platformers such as Prince of Persia and Heart of Darkness, their newest title is about the challenge of motion itself. This is IMPAVIDVM, a game reminiscent of classical challenging PC platformers that is hard to pronounce out loud. <\/p>\n

It might not be for everyone, but its retro style might be what you\u2019re looking for. If you want to know why, here are 5 Reasons to check out IMPAVIDVM when it releases on Steam Early Access.<\/p>\n

A Strange Mystery<\/h2>\n
\n

  <\/p>\n

The premise for IMPAVIDVM is straightforward: you awake in a medieval fortress with no recollection of how or why you got there. The only way out is to solve the fortress\u2019s obstacles and puzzles. Right off the bat, it\u2019s definitely a curious mystery. Context isn\u2019t here at the start of the game, and it forces you to go through the fortress to find out why. It\u2019s a classic way to make a mystery: putting the player in a bizarre location. Why are you there? The full game promises an answer to these questions.<\/p>\n

Interesting Controls<\/h2>\n
\n

\"5 <\/p>\n

When you play IMPAVIDVM, you\u2019ll notice that the controls seem pretty simple. You use the arrow keys to run, Q to grab, control to walk, and shift to look around. Using them together is a bit more complex. There are additional moves you can learn to move across the fortress efficiently. You can try to climb over a ledge, but you can go a lot faster if you time the button press just right. It can take awhile to get used to it, but anyone with the determination will learn all the tricks of the trade.<\/p>\n

Momentum is Key<\/h2>\n
\n

\"5 <\/p>\n

Much like Mirror\u2019s Edge, IMPAVIDVM has a heavy focus on momentum. You don\u2019t often think of parkour when you think of the Middle Ages, but it\u2019s a neat merger all the same. It means that not only does every jump have to have intent, it also means you need to pay attention. Missing a ledge can spell a quick death, so make sure to look before you leap. It\u2019s why you\u2019re given the option to walk or to look ahead of you. It\u2019s easier to plan when you have a better idea of what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n

Plenty of Ways to Die<\/h2>\n
\n

\"5 <\/p>\n

You\u2019re going to die a LOT in IMPAVIDVM, but that\u2019s not a bad thing. Checkpoints are common enough, so don\u2019t be afraid to die. There\u2019s also a bit of levity when you mess up, whether by missing a jump and plummeting to your death, or staying in the water for too long. Since failure is inevitable, it\u2019s less frustrating than it could be. I\u2019ve definitely chuckled at those moments I accidentally fell into a spiked pit, or slammed against a wall. If you\u2019re someone who doesn\u2019t mind losing, you\u2019ll get a laugh in before you try again.<\/p>\n

A Speedrun Focus<\/h2>\n
\n

\"5 <\/p>\n

Since IMPAVIDVM is a platformer that has very intentional controls, it is a game made for speedrunners. It\u2019s a difficult game, one for those obsessed with getting the best possible time. Once you beat the game once, you\u2019ll unlock an internal timer that you can use to help with your run.This isn\u2019t for everyone, and the game is upfront with that. However, for that specific person that absolutely loves a challenge, IMPAVIDVM might scratch that certain itch.<\/p>\n

If IMPAVIDVM and its puzzle platforming piques your interest, the game will come to Early Access on 13th November for $10.<\/p>\n
