Remortal: A Spiritual Journey is a free-to-play arcade experience from Crescent Moon Games. This is an automatic running game where you guide a magical being as he goes on a spiritual journey. Avoid obstacles, cross over gaps, and choose between forked roads as you establish a connection. More than simply swiping to change lanes, the game offers a narrative that becomes clearer the more you progress.

With good-quality graphics and smooth animation on top of its immersive storytelling, Remortal: A Spiritual Journey feels like other runner games, such as Temple Run and Subway Surfers, but with better visuals comparable to AAA titles.

A layered auto-running experience

As with any running game, Remortal: A Spiritual Journey puts you in control of an automatically moving character. Your primary task is to guide this character by swiping left or right to change lanes or swiping up to jump. However, unlike other endless running games, this one is clearly divided into levels. Not only does it offer a visual break, but it also segments the story into discernible chapters.

Visually, it has an impressive character design comparable to Ori and the Blind Forest. It captures that fantasy vibes with a cute main character at the center. The set designs are equally refreshing, while most levels follow a back-to-front perspective. Additionally, the game even comes with cutscenes and level transitions that feature other camera views, making the game feel like an entirely 3D environment.

The inherent challenge among auto-running games is that some levels get too fast for casual players. While the game is visually stunning and the game elements are clearly distinguishable, some of them require quick reflexes. Furthermore, the progression, which includes new abilities and powers, imposes additional learning requirements on the player. For fans of the genre, however, the game is well-optimized and continuously offers refreshing challenges.

A top-tier gaming experience

Remortal: A Spiritual Journey delivers a unique twist on the auto-running game genre by combining visually stunning design with segmented levels and a compelling storyline. Despite its challenges requiring quick reflexes and learning new abilities, the game provides an immersive experience reminiscent of Ori and the Blind Forest. For enthusiasts of the genre, its optimization and consistent delivery of fresh challenges make it a worthwhile adventure into a captivating 3D fantasy world.
