The riding mechanics are clearly inspired by Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask, albeit with slightly more responsive controls. You can also explore the overworld in between missions, but there isn’t a lot to do in it besides unveiling the occasional sidequest or fooling around with the game’s surprisingly above-average horse riding mechanics.īy no means is Spirit: Lucky’s Big Adventure a polished open world game, but at the very least, riding around with Spirit isn’t that terrible. The game tries to diversify its overall gameplay loop every now and then with the occasional racing section against one of Lucky’s friends’ horses, as well as some totally out of place stealth sections whenever you’re dealing against Hendricks and his gang. It’s mainly about doing chores, which as expected is simple and boring. The gameplay mostly revolves around grabbing an item and delivering it to an NPC in need.
The main plot will unfold afterwards, revolving around discovering the location of a hidden treasure left behind by the protagonist’s mom, as well as occasionally dealing with the movie/game’s main villain, an evil horse wrangler called Hendricks. You start off the game by exploring a bit of the Western-inspired town of Miradero, as well as its outskirts, followed by completing half a dozen fetch quests for your dad. Even though the horse is the franchise’s protagonist, you actually control his owner, a teenage girl named Lucky. Spirit: Lucky’s Big Adventure is aimed at a very young audience, most specifically young girls. It’s no Red Dead Redemption, but these horse riding mechanics aren’t half-bad. A game so simple even a five year old can platinum it in a couple of hours. It is one of the easiest and simplest adventure games I’ve played in recent memory. It’s a super saccharine, pseudo open world adventure published by Outright Games, the same publisher behind almost all other licensed cartoon games out in the market, such as Paw Patrol and Gigantosaurus.
SPIRIT STALLION OF THE CIMARRON GAME MOVIE
The original Spirit movie from 2002 was somewhat dark and serious for a cartoon, but Spirit: Lucky’s Big Adventure is almost like its polar opposite.
I really didn’t know what to expect on a game about a horse and his teenage owner. You rarely get a good game out of these deals, but I can’t help but feel morbidly excited to play a tie-in in this day and age, as these kinds of licensed games are my Achilles’ heel. Just like during the golden days of the fifth and sixth console generations. As in a game (loosely) based on its feature film source material released alongside the movie as part of a multimedia marketing strategy. Ladies and gentlemen, you read that right: in the year of the lord 2021, we’re finally getting a licensed movie tie-in.
