Horn: An Artistry Adventure


Horn is a 3D action/adventure game developed by Phosphor Games. You will play as Horn, a young blacksmith apprentice, who wakes up in a ruined tower. He then found out that all the other living things in the village were cursed and turned into robotic monsters. So Horn started an adventure to free them from the curse.

The most prominent part of the game is its graphic. Sunlight filtered through the thick leaves, as it sway slowly, how artistry. Not to mention the music and the voice acting of the game. They really intensify the beauty of the game.

Combat and puzzle solving is the main component of the game. In combat mode, you swipe the screen to strike an attack, tap left or right to roll and dodge an incoming attack. For puzzle solving, they were only  jumping puzzles, flipping switches and shooting arrows, not challenging at all. It was really entertaining in the beginning, but they soon become repetitive and dull. You will soon figure out the attack pattern of the monsters, as well as the puzzles.


I was first intrigued by the its combat system, as it kind of resembles another stunning ios game Infinity Blade. If you have played Infinity Blade and you loved it, you might find Horn stimulating. But its repetitive nature is a big turn off for me.
