Playing it on hard. Feels just as frustrating as I remember, shouting at the TV when making the same mistake over and over again and being sent back to checkpoint.!

I think the new quick save/load at any time feature makes it much less frustrating compared to the original.
Trying not to use it too much and make the game easy. Just after a long easy section so I don't have to repeat it.

is that the only way hard is different ? with the health ?

Never got into these games, found them too hard as a kid but maybe worth a revisit. Was the first one Abe's Exodus or something

No, enemies move faster, I think other things move faster like the tap mines that flash red and green. Those sort of things.

Exoddus was the second in the series.

god this game is hard lol ,was one of the few games i finished on ps1.this version looks better obviously but just as frustrating but soooo satisfying.

So, I had a little 1 hour trial run on Normal to test it out before playing Hard for real - I rescued every one I come across but there were locked doors etc.

I then escaped to the stockyard and beyond.
But, during these sections there was nobody to rescue? Just a bunch of portals by themselves with no slaves to be seen.

Is that me having done something wrong?

I remember there being secret areas you could drop down to but think I missed them all - unless that was Exodus?

Anyway - loving the game as expected but also as expected - I have no idea where to go.
The puzzles and methods of resucing slaves isn't difficult for the most part but remembering where I'm going/have been IS

There are secret trap doors there's one right at the start just be you jump up onto a ledge for first time it's behind a barrel

Ah OK I'll look out for those more carefully then. I was sure I rememebered them from my quick go on the PS1 version on Vita - I just never really played it at the time as I sold the Vita.

Plus I wasn't sure if you can come back later to places, or which areas you must rescue everyone before moving on.

I'm not sure if you can go back to places either ? Would be nice to be able to replay certain points and see if you could do better

spoffle · 25 Jul 2014 at 14:13

If it's exactly like the original, once you leave through the stock yards, you can't go back and rescue any Mudokons you left there.

GTanny · 26 Jul 2014 at 20:49

will pick this up when im out of games but currently loving guacamele again after finishing it on the vita the platforming i didnt manage on the vita should be more forgiving on bigger screen.

also have Transisitor but i only play that when i get chance to sit and enjoy it as it needs the sound

Wilko_Dog · 26 Jul 2014 at 21:01

I never got fully into that guacamelee ... My ps vita has about an inch of dust on it haha might have to get it out and charge it

Finished it at the weekend and yeah you just chapter select to improve your times and rescue everything.

Certainly makes things easier. My time was 5.5 hours on Hard mode to rescue them all so going to take some doing to get that down to 3 hours for the speed run. Not fussed about trophies but I like to do it in the fastest time I can

Have really enjoyed playing through it anyway - so many areas I never seen when playing it on PS1 all those years ago.

XeNoN89 · 28 Jul 2014 at 14:50

I seem to have accidently left the factory without actually rescuing the majority of the mudokons, I ended up outside where the scrabs are. Can I go back or do I need to start again?

Also Sligs still make me lol, particularly when they kill you!

bakes0310 · 29 Jul 2014 at 15:47

Just bought it, downloading now. Loved the original along with exodus shall be interesting to see how much has changed.

5.5 hours wow I guess when I was a kid the game seemed longer.

Yeah I don't think I ever even got out of the factory as a kid!

There is a trophy for rescuing everyone in under 3 hours - but that can be done on Easy mode which will make things much quicker as you can sponge a bit of damage to simply run past enemies.

Plus, chapter select makes it a lot easier to reduce your overall time
