Physik Plattform / Puzzler
Sehr gute (360) Controller Unterstützung.
Sehr zäh und wie fast immer bei Physik Spielen viel Hin und Her bis es endlich klappt.
Fehlt mir persönlich die Geduld für.
Für Geduldige mit einem noch geduldigeren Freund.

Ein sehr morbides aber witziges und schönes Spiel. Wieder eine schöne Überraschung für mich in der heiligen Mission des Infracta GamesArchives. Eigentlich ein klassisches Jump'n Run, nur zieht hier unsere Heldin einen Leichenkarren mit sich, mit dem renitenten Geist des verstorbenen Königs. Sie muss nun sich durch die Level plagen um Schätze für seine Grabbeilagen einzusacken und eine angemessene Ruhestätte für seine maulige Majestät zu finden. Ich hab sehr gelacht. Witzige Idee.

A highly underrated 2d physics based puzzle platformer with somewhat unique mechanics. This game is very fun and can easily be played solo, BUT if you want to get maximum bang for your buck you NEED to play it in co-op (thankfully, it works perfectly with Remote Play Together). If you have a co-op partner you owe yourself pleasure to experience this hidden gem.

Pros:
- Good soundtrack;
- Great gadgets selection;
- 25 interesting and challenging levels;
- Good controls;
- Humorous;
- Great optimisation;
- Overall, good execution;

Cons:
- Fully unfold its potential only in co-op;
- Random difficulty spikes;
- Annoying and unnecessary combat;

Disclaimer: I played over remote play together, so the achievements are not displayed for me.

The game is alright overall. You can also get it very cheap in the sale, so the threshold to try it out is low. However, the game concept becomes repetitive towards the end. Furthermore, there are minor bugs, which are not gamebreaking, but annoying.

The game is simply not fun. Most of the game is spent dragging the coffin across flat ground or uphill. All the physics puzzles feel far more difficult than necessary. Many of the challenges are brutally difficult.

the level design is just stupid... :) thank you 2-5
it took me about 10 hours to finish this level, I also looked on youtube how to do it.
my hands just hurt. bad.. very bad.

You cannot play this game more than 2 hours with a controller. It will just hurt.

Anyway, congrats to the developers, just a few bugs noticed.
very nice design and colors. This game made me buy a philips hue.

Some parts (of a map) are impossible (very hard) to play with two players.

I bought this game during the steam winter sale for a few bucks and wow what a steal. This is probably the single most fun game I've played in awhile and it is definitely worth full price and it deserves so much more attention that it will probably ever get.

I really don't understand some of the negative reviews on this game because I personally have experienced none of the qualms they have with the game. It's not too challenging but it offers a bit of thinking in some areas, as this style of game should. If you have a good friend or significant other the game is made 10x better. I love the artwork, it's very clean and it feels pretty smooth to play, it's hilariously fun at times and normally where I would find myself being frustrated in these kinds of games I find myself laughing harder than I've laughed in awhile. The voice acting is also awesome and at times I wish there were more of it (more lines, etc.) because I do like it so much.

I 10/10 would 100% recommend this game! And if you find it on sale you're definitely getting a HUGE deal!

Really great game to play with a GF or BF that takes a lot of team work and communication. Great fun to try and unlock everything as getting everything requires a level of dedication and skill. This game is also good to watch in a relaxed party setting as back-seat driving is a ton of fun!

The levels get very large and if you go for max points they may take up to 40+ minutes to complete. To 100% this game I can see it taking easily 15+ hours for an experienced pair of players, and 30+ for casual players. If you don't go for max points probably takes those numbers and half them. Lots of optional challenges are located in each level and are not required to progress to subsequent levels.

I played with the Steam Controller and Keyboard so you only need 1 controller if that is a concern.

Chariot is a very fun, yet very difficult platforming game where you must constantly babysit a chariot carrying the remains of your king and find the appropriate burial place for your king. Each world leads to a possible place to bury him, but obviously, not until the last world does he find the correct place.

During your travels you, and possibly a friend, must use a rope to pull and hold onto the chariot. You need to work to get through all of the obstacles with your chariot always with you. This is quite a challenge especially as you reach the lava levels, the ice levels, and the quicksand levels. This is definitely not an easy game and by yourself may or may not be easier depending on the skills of your partner, but playing co-op is definitely recommended as it is a lot of fun.

During your travels you will collect blueprints that allow for your chariot to be upgraded so that it can survive in lava or have wheels that can handle icy terrain. Also, some blueprints will give your character special items such as a peg so you can place a peg in the ground tying a rope to your chariot to ensure it remains still while you go do something else. Others are time slow down, magnet, and much more. Not one item is necessarily more useful than others or absolutely necessary, but in certain levels specific items do offer more help than others.

This is a difficult game and the difficulty curve ramps up pretty quickly once your reach world 3. I am still attempting to obtain all achievements, but the last level, the bonus level, is quite painful and the speed run asks you to get it done in less than 50 minutes. Still I do enjoy a challenge in a game versus something so simple that I will easily forget it. The challenge is here and the fun is here, so this game will definitely remain in my memory for a while.

As for the animation and controls, they are very fluid. It takes a getting used to pulling or controlling the chariot with a rope while you jump around, but eventually it will become second hand and you will understand the physics of it and they make sense, it just takes practice to get used to. The graphics are very cartoony and cute and fit perfectly for the type of game that it is. At it's heart it is a platforming game and it does a really good job of offering a variety of levels with a variety of terrain and added difficulty as you travel from world to world.

If you have a friend you enjoy playing games with this is a great co-op game, but if not and you still enjoy a difficult but fun platformer, then pick this up. I doubt you'd be disappointed.

While fun to play couch coop, the game has multiple things that could have been done way better. Power-ups are pretty useless, the level design is repetitive, and some levels are just way too hard and unfair. This results in grinding until you finally make it, which certainly removes the fun of those levels.

A perfect example of quantity over quality. I was so surprised to see I had only spent 15 hours on this game because it felt like so much more. The levels start long and get longer and longer... By the last level I was praying the level exit would be on the next screen for almost an hour.
1.3% of players have completed Chariot, only 5.1% have completed the second world. The lucky ones got out early.

Had lots of fun playing this game. It can be challenging at first, but when you learn this game's innovative mechanics, you'll be amazed how much fun you can have, especially in the co-op environment. Beautiful visuals and soundtrack make this piece of entertainment very unique in its genre.

I would recommend controller for this one.

Definitely worth the price. ;)

As a platformer fan when I saw this I bought it just on looks alone and this is indeed a very beautifull looking game in every way from the nice lighting effects to the backgrounds to everything. When you I first started this with its soothing music and sound effects I thought I was in for an easy ride how wrong was I in thinking that.

The first level is easy enough breaking you on how the chariot handles but after that it gets harder pretty quick to the point where I nearly gave up and put it in my I can't be bothered anymore this is too hard and frustrating to continue I have lost count the number of time I took my anger out on my controller to the point of smacking it on my desk a few times. BUT I don't know why or what it was I just kept on coming back for more time after time until I got onto the next level and then found myself going back and trying to 100% every level I must of been mad.

Anyways this is a platformer that you have to have in your collection because the satisfaction you get from completing this game is awsome I am now on my second play through I must be crazy but it keeps pulling me back for more.

Thumbs up for the devs and lets hope they do a Chariot 2

Chariot is a stylish 2D platformer with physics based gameplay. The king has passed, and your duty as the princess is to deliver him in his coffin to his final resting place. Navigating your way through the catacombs and caves by pushing, pulling and riding his coffin may seem easy at first but the gameplay definitely gets more complicated as you move through the levels. There is a bit of humor in the game as well, the dead king's spirit will speak to you with funny comments and suggestions about what to do at some points. Upon completing levels you can unlock alternate entrances to them along with speedrun availabilty which creates a lot more return playability for levels. Cooperative gameplay is available(Couch Co-op, Not Online), and the other player gets to play as the princess's fiance. Playing cooperatively also changes the gameplay a little making some things easier, and some things a lot harder. There is also areas in the levels designed specifically for 2 players and you will need a partner if you plan on getting some of those gems that require 2 people. If you can get a friend to play this with you, I'd recommend doing so as it really adds more fun to playing. Chariot is also not very compatible with a keyboard and mouse so having a controller is Highly recommended for easier gameplay. Remember people, Xbox controllers are plug and play on PC.
So.... if moving dead bodies is your thing or something your good at for some reason. I won't question why, but I will tell you that youre gonna want to grab this game and convince a friend to get it too!

Another game that people are probably not going to talk about is Chariot. That’s a pity because this game deserves more attention, from both gamers and press. It’s a cute and sexy physics-based platformer with one goal: fun. And it succeeds splendidly in doing this.

In short Chariot throws you into a world where the King has died and you, as a Princess or her Fiancé, have to ride and pull his coffin (on wheels) towards his final resting place. The King’s spirit will guide you on your way and will let you know what he thinks of the burial places you come across. Correct, you’ll visit several burial places during the entire course of the game, because, you see, the King is hard to satisfy. On your way to these places you’ll also gather loot in the form of diamonds. This loot can later be used to upgrade your gear but more about that in just a minute.
This game is best played with a friend or partner because it really is a co-op experience, even though you can also get through the game by yourself just fine. However, there are a couple of sections that require that second extra player in order to be able to grab all loot, but these are all optional. Still, as someone who likes to explore it’s a bit disappointing.
Loot can be found in the form of diamonds and later on you’ll be able to find bigger diamonds that take a few seconds to get unstuck. All you have to do is keep the chariot close, because the chariot is what collects these diamonds. A few levels in you’ll notice enemies appearing whenever you collect a big diamond. That is because collecting a big one makes noise, and this attracts enemies that will try and take you loot by assaulting the coffin. If you let them stay on it long enough they will carry a piece of loot with them. You then have a few seconds to recollect it before it’s lost forever. Of course, chasing is no choice is you have multiple enemies still assaulting the coffin. And oh, noise is not just made by collecting certain diamonds but also by dropping the coffin, or smashing it into something. You have to carefully drop it if you don’t want to attract any attention to yourself. This isn’t always easy, but it keeps the game a bit more challenging.
So, the game has five different environments spread over 25 levels and each level usually takes 15-45 minutes to complete, depending on how everything goes. There will be a few times where the chariot is too far away from you, and/or that you’re stuck. These moments won’t happen very often and even then you can easily reset the game and return to the last checkpoint by pressing and holding a button. The most important lesson you’ll learn is to keep yourself attached to the coffin, because once it’s on its way you can’t stop it that easily.
The levels branch off sometimes and each one of these levels usually has more than one entrance. These entrances open up once you complete more levels and you can then go back and enter from a different part and continue your quest there. These new entrances usually only give you a couple of minutes of playtime because they can usually be found halfway through the level or near the end. But still, it’s a great idea and one that’s quite original I think.
You’ll be pulling and pushing the coffin in a non-linear way. I don’t mean to say that this is an open world game, because it’s not, but you won’t be going in a straight line is what I actually meant to say.
There are a lot of times where you’ll be pulling up the coffin to higher platforms, dropping it straight down or riding (and jumping !) it forward. In all these cases the physics were realistically mimicked and not once did I think that something wasn’t possible or unrealistic. These physics are what make the platforming fun, because you have no idea how it will all react to, let’s say, snowy and icy segments. There are a few areas that don’t work as well as they should. The trampolines are the perfect example here; these are unreliable and take way too much time to pull off perfectly. In addition to that you also have to be a bit lucky. But thankfully, this is pretty much the only real ‘flaw’ I could find.
In every level there are three silver skulls to be collected. These skulls are hidden throughout the levels and once found will be added to your Vault. They serve no particular purpose as far as I can tell. But there are also blueprints to be found in each level and once you’ve collected enough of these you can upgrade your character’s abilities or coffin with things like pegs (that allow you to attach your rope to a surface) or a light (so that your coffin can ride through dimly-lit environments.
The blueprints can be collected by taking some sort of crate with you. These can be found in certain spots. You just ride under them with your coffin, it will then be loaded onto your coffin and off you go. All you have to do then is find a shredder that ultimately gives you the blueprint. But to do this you have to push and pull it as well. And the thing is, if you can’t keep it straight for a certain period it will be destroyed. So you have to balance it from time to time to prevent this from happening.
By the way, the abilities can be upgraded even further, with longer durations and shorter cooldowns. You just have to find more of them.
But the true and only real goal, of course, still remains to visit the best burial place for the King. This is why you’ll be frequently revisiting previously completed levels in order to find these places. It’s fun to revisit a level and start from a different entrance because there are always some new places to find, including loot and secrets.

And wow, these graphics are just wonderful. They are colorful and even though the game has a bit of a sad vibe to it it’s all shown in a cute and detailed way, where you’ll still frequently see your character(s) smiling. Nothing depressing here; the art style is just amazing with some excellent subtle graphical effects here and there. It’s magical to see flowers pop-up from out of nowhere or to see ice reflect your image. All very cool stuff.
The music has a bit of a medieval vibe to it all and the voice acting is amazing. You won’t hear your characters chatting or anything but the King’s ghost will frequently talk about certain (hazardous) situations and what he thinks of a specific burial place. The vendor also speaks, but he mostly produces one-liners. Unfortunately, these usually aren’t very funny. But they’re still well made nevertheless.
The quality of this game is amazingly high, let me tell you.

I expected to play a fun game here but nothing this fun. Chariot succeeds on many levels and can easily stand on its own between many of the bigger budget platformers out there. It’s a game that I will gladly recommend and I hope enough people will (eventually) agree with me.
This game needs more attention and I hope this review will at least give it a little push towards success. But it still needs all the help it can get, so come on everyone and let’s make this happen.
It’s crystal clear to see how much effort and love was put into it and this is the reason why you should be playing games in the first place.
