A unique freshness in Le Vaillant Petit Page
Are you ready for a charming adventure? Let's dive into the world of Le Vaillant Petit Page, a delightful game that has captured our hearts.
A Hero's Tale
In our childhood, we all had heroes. Some were Saiyans or masked turtles on TV. Others were young wizards or mustached Gauls in books.
Today, we meet a new hero, a knight and storyteller known as Le Vaillant Petit Page.
Game Overview
Published by Devolver, Le Vaillant Petit Page takes us into a child's room. The child is a fan of a book about a hero who fights the evil sorcerer Ragecuite.
Usually, the Page wins, and the story ends well. But this time, Ragecuite discovers a spell to create a portal between the book world and the real world.
Unique Mechanics
The game features a unique mechanic where the hero can leave the book to explore the real world of a child's room. This switch from 2D to 3D adds variety and excitement.
The game also plays with words. For example, if a bridge is broken, the phrase "the bridge was broken" appears. You must find a word to replace "broken" and fix the bridge.
Gameplay
Inside the book, gameplay varies from top-down views like Zelda to platform segments and mini-games. Outside the book, it's a classic 3D platformer.
- Top-down segments
- Platforming
- Mini-games
- 3D exploration
You can upgrade your hero with new attacks and abilities using in-game currency, represented by "ideas" scattered around the world.
Our Verdict
Le Vaillant Petit Page is a delightful experience. It’s full of wonderful ideas and references to classic games. However, some dialogues and phases can feel a bit long.
The game lasts around 9 hours, which felt short because we enjoyed it so much. We hope for a sequel to explore more of its creative ideas.
Verdict: A fresh and charming game that leaves you wanting more.
