Our take on The Legend of Gwen
The game’s difficulty is part of its challenge, but that choice can make progress demanding. Help chests and boss-hunting assistance provide some support, while timed stages exclude checkpoints, leaving those runs without the same recovery option.
What is The Legend of Gwen?
The Legend of Gwen is a retro-style platform game about Gwen, a new student at a school of sorcery whose lessons are disrupted by an attack from an evil force.
Guide her through different moons, each with its own obstacles, colors, and enemies, while collecting every star in each level. Levels include traps, enemies, and bosses, as well as timed stages without enemies that test agility. The game includes six wand types that change how play works, seeds to gather for a garden, and viewpoints that can reveal secrets. Help chests and a boss hunter offer assistance, and checkpoints are available except in timed levels. One challenge has two characters moving at the same time.
