![]() There isn't meant to any reprieve, of course. In every second, in every image that Limbo has flicker across the screen, there's no escaping the contrast that lingers plain as day as the audience watches on. Sen strips away the colour to heighten the details - and also makes an emotionally and thematically loaded move. Doing just that in a film made in Coober Pedy, the globally famous "opal capital of the world" that's known for its underground dwellings beneath the blazing South Australian earth, is a bold decision, too. Going monochrome in a place that's so connected with a red-, orange- and clay-heavy palette is a visually spectacular choice. Amid evident similarities, there's a plethora of differences between the Mystery Road franchise and Limbo however, one of its simplest is also one of its most glaring and powerful: shooting Australia's ochre-toned landscape in black and white. Seven years after the last Jay Swan movie, following a period that's seen that character make the leap to the small screen in three television seasons, Sen is back with a disappearance, a cop, all that inimitable terrain and the crimes against its Indigenous inhabitants that nothing can hide. In the process, the writer, director, co-producer, cinematographer, editor and composer used his first two Aussie noir films and their immaculately shot sights to call attention to how the nation treats people of colour - historically since its colonial days and still now well over two centuries later. Personally I main Ichirin for the sole purpose of the satisfaction I get punching people with a cloud.When Ivan Sen sent a police detective chasing a murdered girl and a missing woman in the Australian outback in 2013's Mystery Road and its 2016 sequel Goldstone, he saw the country's dusty, rust-hued expanse in sun-bleached and eye-scorching colour. I'd say to those who want to give this a try to go ahead, this is because the control scheme is quite easy, it's like a few buttons and combinations. To this day I still don't know how to use the last word. ![]() However this game you can use only 1 spellcard which was odd considering it would restrict battle variety but simply fighting with your own skill rather than spamming spell cards felt more rewarding. I had a good chunk of fun with the story and the combat felt better or smoother than the previous fighting game. Let me explain, she shares her "Usami" with someone called "Usami Renko" which links the CDs to the games. ![]() We've got a really interesting character on our hands. They also abilities that relate to urban legends. Resulting in the characters having to investigate and resolve the incident (and probably beat up people in the process). The story of ULiL revolves around you guessed it, urban legends circulating around and making everything quite unsettling. Urban Legend in Limbo: Occasionally spinoff games will come along in the form of a fighting game genre (hisoutensoku, hopeless masquerade to name a couple). Touhou Project: A series of a top down shoot em ups taking place in the fantasy land of Gensokyo,which involves having to defeat all the enemies whilst dodging all the projectiles that come your way.Ī real life equivalent to this would be dodging rain.Ī quirk of this series is that there is an ENTIRELY female cast (with the exception of a few males).įor some unknown reason, this series has spawned a rather large following in both Eastern and western audiences (to give a scale, conventions called 'reitaisai' were held which tendered to only or mostly Touhou)Ī popular misconception about this franchise is that it is sometimes labelled an anime. Let's begin but first an explanation of the series and the game itself (from my personal viewpoint).
