DeVuego LATAM ES_COR

Josh Journey is a beat ’em up side scroller in the vein of Final Fight or Streets of Rage, you can move around it and enemies come from either side. You have four playable characters who you can hot-swap between at any time including combat which pulls off huge combos and air juggles. Despite its cartoonish look and basic combat, the game does open and become a lot deeper in terms of customisation of combat. Put it this way, you buy Josh Journey Darkness Totems for a bit of button-mashing goodness or as a good local co-op romp. It gets in entertains you and then leaves.

Josh Journey: Darkness Totems has positive highlights in its artistic part as a whole, but serious gameplay problems prevent any success in the final experience.

Apparently, Josh Journey: Totems of Darkness started out as a short cartoon, and the creators were encouraged to turn it into a video game. Whoever handed out this advice did their friends a disservice; I think they should have focused on creating a full-scale movie or show because art is obviously their strong point. The gameplay in Josh Journey is severely lacking, and with no difficulty options, it will only appeal to more advanced players. Perhaps this game is a blast when playing with four players, but without any online options, most players won’t have enough people or controllers to try that out.
