Although it is true that right now, we can find games that stand out from the aesthetic point of view, showing how far developers have advanced in this regard, it is never a wrong time to remember the fun of yesteryear. Indeed, if you like role-playing games and want to recover some of your video game memory, we are sure that Driftmoon is one of the best alternatives today.

Driftmoon is a trial application developed by the people at Instant Kingdom. This independent group presents us with an adventure in which the main character has to retrace a series of essential secrets to solve. And what is it that he has to solve? Specifically, the mystery revolves around The Pendant of Life, a problem that affects him because his parents have been kidnapped, and he doesn't know the reason and their whereabouts.

Although everything may seem a bit confusing at first, you should know that Driftmoon gradually clears the picture of what it intends from us, and to enjoy the title, you will find that the scene is prototypical of the games of the '90s. It's enough to take an initial look at its look, where you'll see that it uses the top view system that was all the rage back then and still brings back good memories for many of us.

As you advance, you'll start to notice some of the dangers that lie in wait for our character, taking into account that it's the feared King Ixal who wants to get rid of him once he has come out of his lethargy, and he won't stop until he does. However, the antagonist doesn't have the help we can offer to the game's main character, so your ability to solve situations will be fundamental.

And what kind of help do we have to collaborate with our friends? Well, the most varied, since other characters will accompany us during their adventures, we must mention a firefly, a panther, and curiously, a living skeleton. These are the members of the team with which we will have to solve this mystery and, incidentally, save the world from the clutches of this evil enemy.

The exciting thing about the game is that beyond its primary objective and the meaningful adventures that we will carry out; it has many secondary or minimal games that will allow us to keep us entertained in small challenges of a few seconds. As we overcome each one, our skills will improve, and we will become much more powerful warriors for the ensuing battles.

Then, if you are one of those users who like to modify many of the essential aspects of the games they enjoy, you should know that Driftmoon has a Modding section, thanks to which you can apply all sorts of changes to the title.

However, it would be best if you didn't lose sight of the fact that the game is only available in English, and this means that for those that don't speak English, at times, some of the dialogs and help that we have become incomprehensible so that you may need a dictionary. Anyway, the language used is not too advanced, and with some minimum knowledge of this language, we are sure that you will be able to decipher the tasks to be performed.

As for Driftmoon's graphics, we've already said that it's one of those titles that emphasizes telling a good story more than convincing us from an aesthetic point of view. The truth is that the graphics are not bad and comply, although they can do little if we compare them directly with the current last-generation console titles.

Finally, it would help if you did not lose sight of the fact that, as we mentioned at the beginning of the review, we are in the presence of a paid program, a program that we will not be able to fully use with all its options and possibilities unless we enter a purchase key. Anyway, the program's trial version is more than enough to give us an idea of whether we are interested in purchasing it, so we think you should start downloading it to your computer and trying it.

Other details have to do with the fact that when running the game, it will be necessary to have a file decompressor of type ZIP since the executable is integrated into one of them; otherwise, you will not be able to open it. Besides, the title needs frequent updates, and to be able to download them, you need to stay connected to the Internet; otherwise, you will always use the same version.

Beyond these issues that we didn't want to leave unmentioned, we can end by saying that Driftmoon is undoubtedly an entertaining game that will offer you several hours of fun. At the same time, you try to solve this significant mystery. If you have ever been a fan of the classic role-playing games of the 90s, we recommend giving it a chance since you probably won't regret it.
