GAMEPLAY: This game was heavily inspired by titles like the revolutionary Mario 64 and it shows. ![]() but what we got is a simple Dark Fantasy tale set in a platformer. Now it's worth noting that this game has a lot of cut content (which I will go into later) so maybe there was a much more detailed story. I mean we've heard this kind of story many times before. But while the Backstory is pretty interesting, the overall plot of the game feels cliched and surprisingly simple. It seems that Vexx was trying to go towards a Dark and Edgy type of feeling, instead of the light feeling most Platformers go towards. With this new power Vexx begins his quest to save his homeworld and avenge his Grandfather. But what He finds is a Ancient pair of War Talons that bind to his hands and gives him impressive power. With the taste of Vengeance on his mind, Vexx sneaks aboard the Wraith's airship, for a weapon that could possibly kill him. So He and His Minions enslave the titular Hero's People and kill's his Grandfather. 700 Years later, One of these Wraiths known as Dark Yabu returns to Astara to finish what his brethren started. STORY: Vexx takes place in Astara, a world shattered into a mere asteroid belt by creatures known as the Shadowwraiths. Over the years however, it has earned a small, but dedicated following who long for a sequel or at least a re-release (Which might be possible with the recent remaster of Voodoo Vince and the upcoming Sphinx and the cursed Mummy) But does this game deserve a Remake? let's take a look! As for Vexx itself, the game was generally overlooked and received "mixed" reviews at the time. Vexx is probably most notable for being one of the last games made by Acclaim studios entertainment (Best known for the Turok and NBA jam series) before they when defunct in 2004. However some less remembered and obscure titles have managed to earn themselves cult followings over the years, Vexx happens to be one of them. It still managed to pop out some popular Games such as Ratchet and Clank and Jak and Daxter. Though the Genre lost some of it's spotlight to more mature Genres around the 2000's. The Genre has spawned some of the most iconic franchises in gaming, the most notable being Mario and Sonic. The Platformer genre is among the oldest and most popular genres in Gaming. ![]()
