Super Box Land Demake

Similar music and graphics throughout the game may not be the main selling point, but the increasing difficulty level, at times almost impossible, means Super Box Land Demake is a must play for all puzzle enthusiasts, yet another success for Ratalaika Games.

Super Box Land Demake is a fun sokoban title, offering a really enjoyable block pushing experience that’s best played with a friend. The levels are short and to the point, the difficulty curve is fine, and the co-op leads to more solutions and thus more ways to play through the game. My only real gripes with Demake come from how there’s no true retry button, and how incredibly slow the rewind functionality is. That, along with this game easily becoming repetitive when played in a long session like what you’d do on a console, makes this game a fun time if you have a friend over, but if you’re a solo puzzler, maybe pick this up for a handheld system so it fits the pick up and play nature more. Either way, playing in co-op is a very enjoyable experience that pleasantly surprised me.

Super Box Land Demake isn't a terrible game, it's just simple and not as fleshed out as its predecessor. It's still charming, but not worth the same price as the last game at $4.99. If it goes on sale I would recommend picking it up since it is still a solid game, if a bit shallow.

While perhaps I'm a bit jaded having played so many indie puzzle games over the past few years but while its presentation may be nice enough, Demake's gameplay is what I'd consider painfully average...
