Is Gelatine worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Action-game players who want combat at the center of a 2D sandbox
- Players interested in boss fights with multiple difficulty levels
- Players who enjoy growing a colony and defending it from invasions
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a long campaign may find the stated scope of five boss fights and about an hour of other content limited
- Players who want a stable, finished game may be put off by the early development stage and the possibility of game-breaking issues with patches
- Players who prefer detailed inventory management may find a single village-wide storage system too simplified
Our take on Gelatine
The focus on combat and a compact amount of content leaves less room for an extended campaign. Early development also comes with a stability trade-off: the vendor notes that patches may introduce game-breaking issues.
What is Gelatine?
Gelatine is a 2D sandbox centered on combat and active moment-to-moment play.
Players build a colony, grow a village of non-player characters, defend it from invasions, and fight five bosses whose encounters synchronize with music. Boss fights have multiple difficulty levels. Character progression uses a skill tree with talents that affect playstyle. A shared storage system serves the whole village, reducing inventory-management tasks. Repetitive or grind-focused activities are kept to a minimum and are mostly optional. The game is in relatively early development, with five boss fights and about an hour of other content. The vendor notes that game-breaking issues may appear with patches.
