We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Platformer fans who want fast downward movement rather than broad exploration
- Action players who enjoy trap-filled escape sequences with unusual hazards
- Players seeking a story mystery alongside arcade-style platforming
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players looking for broad exploration may find the focused descent through one prison tower restrictive
- Players who prefer slow, methodical platforming may not suit the fast free-falling pace
- Players seeking a climbing-focused journey may prefer Jusant's upward traversal and route choices
- Players wanting a shooter or roguelite structure may find its platforming progression too narrow
Our take on Freedom Fall
The focus on rapid downward movement gives the game a clear identity, but sacrifices room for broad exploration and slower traversal. The story and set pieces add variety without changing the central escape structure.
What is Freedom Fall?
Freedom Fall is a down-scrolling platformer set in a prison tower that reaches the clouds.
Players descend through traps and mechanical enemies while attempting to escape. Fast free-falling action is paired with hand-painted visuals and an old-school presentation. The story combines dark humor with more heartfelt moments and gradually reveals that events are not as they first appear. The escape includes deadly hazards, bouncing from killer balloons, riding jetboards, and fighting a dragon. As the journey progresses, the game raises questions about the characters involved and concludes with a determination of who is guilty and who is innocent.
