Into the Neon Grid

Resolutiion throws you into a rain soaked city scrawled in pixels. It’s both oddly relatable and eerie at the same time. The setting is dark and moody, and the rhythm surges between frantic shoot ’em up segments, and moments of patient discovery. You may already get this from teasing trailers or the game page, but this is the tone of Resolutiion.

What Resolutiion Actually Is

That’s an indie action-adventure of its own, focused on intense encounters, environmental exploration and a visual style that pays homage to retro favorites but twists them into less cheerful forms. The team responsible for the project has already designed a game that combines sword fights and gunplay with brief story segments, providing a motivation to explore every dark corner and basement.

How You’ll Play It

The controls are spot on. The game is more about quick reactions than thoughtful strategy. You’ll be running, dodging, and blocking the whole time with the reasoning being that if you stand still you’re dead. The exploration is well designed to reward curiosity and find items/secrets in the rooms that you otherwise might not visit, and the level design also promotes backtracking once you find a new door or path. Critics and players have said that the game is heavily inspired by classic top down adventure games only emphasizing the combat part.

Key Highlights

• Detailed and atmospheric pixel-art city-maps.
• Fast-paced, action packed battles that continue to be fun and competitive.
• Play structure that encourages exploration through secret areas and optional routes.
• Unique soundtrack and audio do a good job of setting the tone.
• Distribution is available across major PC markets & many desktop platforms.

Some of these points are covered in the storefront and review write-ups that talk about feel and platform availability.

Why You Might Want to Try It

If you prefer tightly crafted, concise games then this is a good example. The sessions needn’t be long, but they tend to be effective, with the combat often being arena-like and intense and the look and feel of the game engendering a certain mood (artwork for the city lends it character and the sound completes that). It’s a game with a well realized environment that provides immersive stimulation even if you don’t spend long wandering within it. It’s a game that will stick in your mind, but not take long to play. It’s full of design decisions that make you reactive in enemy encounters and inquisitive while exploring, so that playing the game can differ depending on how much you’ve explored.

Common Ways People Use the Game

• Late-night indie sessions when you want atmosphere & action without a long commitment.
• Providing a pixel-art look for streamers or content creators.
• File fast mechanics and play with fast reflex.
• Playing it all the way to discover environmental storytelling and secret passages.
• Intermixing with other indie titles in the marathon of smallgames.

Parting Thoughts from the Alley

Resolutiion isn’t aiming to be all things to all people. It is tight, it is a little rough at times, and it is unapologetically indie in every design decision made. You will either appreciate how tightly Resolutiion coalesces tension into short intervals, or be bored of the same short intervals. If you like pixel-created world with a darker edge to it, a sense of noir about it-and tight combat-give it a shot. It isn’t going to claim to be a great massive epic, and truly, that’s part of the charm.

Credits and Extras

The project also bears the mark of a small development team and community members that contributed to the soundtrack and pixel art, giving it a unique flavor not often found in small studio titles. “Fans and community posts have noted developer credits and an authoring and support team that was intimately involved in the project.”
