Play Overview
Raven's Hike (2021) is an action-platform game with no jumping or walking. You get around the dungeon rooms using only your Grappling Hook. Play involves pressing the direction you need to move, and then being pulled in that direction until you hit a wall or choose another direction. It stands out for the simple way of getting around that requires planning and timing.
You work to help Raven reach the top of the tower to restore equilibrium and save the world from oblivion. To do this you need to find the safest way through each of the rooms while also collecting all the gems. Choosing a direction is simple, but exact timing is needed to switch or stop your movement. You keep going in one direction until you select another.
The result is an intricate puzzle you can play with just a direction stick. With over 60 rooms to conquer, there's a substantial challenge. Becoming adept at the unusual controls turns this simple traversal challenge into a pixel-perfect action game.
