Do you like weird and wonderful stories that combine Scottish ballads with alien elves? If so, you’ll love Rhymer, the latest offering of video game fun from developer Apicatus Games.
In Rhymer, you play as an heroic figure determined to save Earth from an alien threat known as The Elves. With the help of your space-faring sidekick, an extraterrestrial version of William Wallace, you’ll traverse across the fictional world of Nordom, exploring locations inspired by Scotland’s Highlanders.
The game sees you playing as a classic hero, from gathering evidence to talking directly with the group of alien elf-like creatures. In order to save the planet, you’ll need to unravel the secrets of their ancient culture, and discover their alien relics. As you progress through the game, you’ll come across some interesting anomalies, such as strange floating islands and alien ruins.
Rhymer also features a unique take on story-telling, with a great sense of adventure and dynamism. As you travel, you’ll collect rare resources and artifacts, craft powerful weapons, and overcome obstacles to help you find the source of the alien threat.
As a fan of classic Scottish ballads, I was pleased to find that Rhymer incorporates the sounds of the traditional songs. You’ll find yourself hearing familiar jigs and reels as you explore, further enhancing the atmosphere.
Overall, Rhymer is an enjoyable game that combines the best elements of Scottish ballads with a clever story and alien mystery. If you’re looking for something truly unique, then Rhymer is certainly worth checking out.
