Haven Call of the King PS2 Retro Taster - Backtrack

Platformers in the early 2000s were everywhere, and some turned into memorable and beloved series of games, while others didn't quite hit the mark. Haven Call of the King tried its best to stand out from the others by incorporating as many genres as possible into one little game, but could that quirk be enough to call this a hidden gem?

Jank, jetpacks AND genres? You can't beat a bit of variety!

[@okgamergirl]

That should be my new catchphrase 🤣🤣

[@Yesterzine]

It’s described as a multi genre action platformer adventure. This is because marketing didn’t know how to sell a platformer”

[@okgamergirl]

'How can we make this game stand out? I know! Make a whole new word and see if it sticks!' 😆

Okay, so... A Traveler's Tales game from 2002 with platforming, turret sections, vehicle sections, and space combat - one where you collect little bits from breakable things in the environment, but sometimes need specific characters/abilities to do so? It's good to know Lego Star Wars had a blueprint! Also, okay, hear me out: yes, the voice acting for the doctor was bad, but I was expecting some horrible Orientalism, so... Could be worse?

[@okgamergirl]

Ooh great insight! So 'Freeformer' did find a home in gaming after all! We're just happier calling it multi genre 😆 haha ya, there could have been some super distasteful in place of the weird high pitched mumblings...so at least they made a...better choice? 😆
