Inside Mac Games has posted a review of the indie platformer Soulless from Cobra Blade. Soulless has you fighting endless waves of zombies on a starship in the far reaches of the galazy. Here's an excerpt from the review:

The platforming elements are also a tad premature. The character jumps sloppily and can often miss a platform because he jumped just a little too early. Not that it matters, though, as there's no falling damage or death pits. You just climb all the way back up and keep trying until you finally cross the divide. You can also jump over zombies if you try hard enough, but that often gets you swatted so you might as well stand still and fire until they explode.

I agree on the score - Although I might even be inclined to say that it is a bit too high..

I've only tried the demo, but that really put me off. Couldn't believe this was getting coverage on IMG, because it is really really really boring.

And now, time for some Legend of Zelda.

I don't know if you have noticed that it's actually written by an IMG forum member.

I have to say, though, that I largely agree with the review.

My first though upon reading the title of this news item was "Sure IMG reviews could use a little improvement, but calling them 'soulless' is pretty harsh."

The main thing that stuck with me is about my game not being worth the price. So after some gameplay tweaking and a large price reduction, this year has seen Soulless become available on Reflexive! What this also means is people can now play the full game instead of just two levels.
