SPYRO REIGNITED TRILOGY SWITCH REVIEW FREE

And make no mistake, by gems I do mean those that you find in-game behind every nook and cranny. They all come with their own special attacks and gameplay mechanics – if you have enough gems to unlock them, that is.

The sequels bring new Spyro moves (like swimming, diving, and headbutt attacks) and we get to play as penguin version of 007 (already sounds intriguing, right?), a feisty Aussie kangaroo and even Sparx, Spyro’s trusty dragonfly sidekick. While every Spyro game from the bunch is good enough on its own, this trilogy is also a textbook example how t expand on a winning formula while sacrificing nothing away. Some enemies are weak to flame, some to charging, some to both and later in the game(s) you have to strategize a bit to reveal their Achilles heel. There is the expected flame breath (he is a dragon, after all), a charging attack and different kind of powerups that change his flame properties. When it comes to enemies, Spyro has a bunch of attacks at his disposal. Things spice up a bit in the second and third game, where new supporting characters are introduced and you even get to play as some of them in the last game. Gather gems (which are used as currency to learn new skills in later games), beat occasional bosses and got through the world after world rescuing your friends. Wait, what?!Īs mentioned, the gameplay loop in all the three games is pretty straightforward. Yep, no more rescuing dragons from Medusa’s stare, we’ve upgraded! In the third and the last game of the pack, we have also been upgraded with new enemies (we are now fighting Rhynocs instead of orcs), new collectibles (chasing for dragon eggs now instead of orbs or dragons) and sometimes we get to play as someone else than Spyro. So yeah, gather gems, kill some bosses and earn a bunch of magical orbs for the portal back home. A very nasty magic-wielding dinosaur is keen to enslave all the dragons. In the sequel, there is a new villain in a town called Ripto.

Now it’s up to you to free (unstone?) all the dragons, gather a lot of gems while at it and defeat the Gnasty Gnorc. In the first game, a bunch of dragons decided to trash-talk some magical orc (or Gnorc, as he and his minions are called in Spyro games), he got mad and turned them all into stones. Stories in all of the Spyro games are rather brief and only serve to drive the gameplay forward (and what items you acquire in the sequels). Since this package comes with all three games Spyro the Dragon, Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage and Spyro 3: Year of the Dragon, I’ll go through the stories from all the games.
