Filling in a somewhat unique and unusual space between casual and classic arcade style action we have Ritual, a game that feels like it would be well-suited to a twin-stick shooter but plays with less intensity. You’ll work your way through waves of enemies, looking out for power-ups and always being careful to not bite off more than you can chew. When there are enemies around with a higher level than you a single hit from them will result in death but with wily play you’ll be able to use your spells and power-ups to wear them down so they can be dispatched like anything else. There’s progression of a sort as you’ll become more effective but there’s no variation or choice in it, you’ll just continue to incrementally get more powerful at the base. Overall, it’s quite accessible and should be enjoyable to just about anyone and with so many more intense experiences on the platform it offers a more subdued but satisfying experience.
