While the sequels to Sparkle Zero tried to create a macro narrative, in which an ever-knowing being guides the so-called Sparkle on its evolutionary progressions, this first title doesn’t even try to. Here, again, you control a microscopic creature, whose only objective is to eat stuff and evolve.
In fact, it stands as the more barebones version of the same concept. Sparkle Zero, the first game of the franchise, is no different. However, the actual result was very bland and repetitive games that felt more like mini-games that lasts longer than it should. In general, these games tried to create a relaxing and meditating gameplay loop using an idea similar to the first part of Maxis’ Spore. Both Sparkle 2 EVO and Sparkle 3 Genesis put the player in control of a microscopic being, whose objective is to eat stuff in order to evolve. However, when the third installment of a franchise doesn’t deliver what you’d expect of a full-fledged game, what would be the percentage of hype to get to know its very origins?įorever Entertainment already brought to the Switch eShop – out of order – two titles of the Sparkle franchise. Either fuelled by nostalgia, or by the curiosity of discovering the origins of certain games, it is often a good thing when we see indie developers bringing their older titles to the Switch eShop. Sometimes you don’t want to start from zero.ĭepending on which franchises we are talking about, there is a huge appeal to replay older titles, even after we experienced newer and better iterations of the same ideas and concepts.
