After the Ogre army invades Garuda and seizes the capital, the wounded Vera is presented with the Mythic Wings, an artifact that could allow him to single-handedly reclaim his homeland...provided he's willing to do a lot of grinding.Read More

I like when a game is centered around a less “mainstream” mythology I’m not familiar with. We get a ton of Egyptian, Greek, Norse, and even Pre-Columbian themed games every year, but I like when games featuring Indian, Persian, and other mythological elements are released by smaller studios. This is the case with Krut: The Mythic Wings. This small platformer is based on a Thai animated movie, which focuses on Thai mythology. Interesting premise, to say the least. Let’s give this one a...

Krut: The Mythic Wings isn’t a terrible game – there’s nothing outright awful about it – but it’s sub-par in every single way. So, unless you’ve seen the animated film that it’s based on and really want to immerse yourself in its world a little more, it’s best to give it a wide berth. Though even then, we can’t imagine anyone genuinely having fun with it.

At $9.99 if you are jonesing for a hit of that old-time low-budget arcade nostalgia, I still can’t recommend this game. With a bland, uninteresting, and predictable story, repetitive and awful feeling combat, poor enemy variety, and the maddening decision to have no save system mixed with constant freezes and crashes this game simply is not worth your time.

With a price tag of even just $10, I can’t say that Krut: The Mythic Wings is worth it. Even the time investment of playing the game is a deterrent, as it will only remind you that there are better titles you could be playing instead.
