If you don't want to read the full review: I'll keep it simple, Wounded Summer Baby Edition tries, and unfortunately fails, to beat the well designed formula of The Patriots: Baby Edition.
It pains me to provide such a polished action story game with a mixed review.
Tecumseh is a baby with the heart of a warrior, out on his first hunt to prove to his tribe he can provide for them, but when he returns things go terribly wrong.
Let's start with the positives, In Wounded Summer, you see huge strides in programming and game design technology from Hammer Games, such as innovative platforming sections and snappier, more engaging gunplay.
This is where one of the negatives comes in, however. In The Patriots, you had access to a massive arsenal of 3 weapons ranging from pistols to a shotgun. In Wounded Summer you only have access to your trusty bow and arrow.
Another flaw for me is the storyline. While engaging and full of drama, it felt lacking in both length and a thoughtful ending line when compared to The Patriots.
I highly doubt any future Baby Edition games will ever compare to The Patriots dramatic and truly inspiring final line of the game.
Returning to positives, Hammer Games went above and beyond what was expected in terms of character design, avoiding just copy pasting their fan favorite baby character and instead creating an entirely new character with an eye-catching Native American headdress.
Overall, Wounded Summer was quite a fantastic game, but left me both wanting and expecting more. If you've never played a Baby Edition game before, I reccommend starting with The Patriots. Play this if you want more.
