tiny & Tall: Gleipnir

Post by Azad »

The tale follows two Dwarven blacksmiths tasked by the Aesir (the Norse gods) to forge Gleipnir, an unbreakable chain capable of binding the great wolf Fenrir who’s threatening to devour the world. These not-so-Dwarven-looking smiths are of course our heroes, the happy-go-lucky, thumb-like tiny and his bossy and impatient master Tall. After locating their book of magical enchantments, the two soon find that forging Gleipnir will be no easy feat. To do so they will need to gather six near-impossible things, including the beard of a woman, the sound of a cat’s footfall, and the breath of a fish (not to mention a dash of salt and pepper). As their amusing quest for these unusual components develops, tiny & Tall find themselves being pursued by a feral bear, trying to convince a fake troll to let them cross a bridge, and negotiating a stand-off between a group of valkyric warriors and the terrifying Undead Designers, a group of skeletal trend-setting fashionistas.
Lovers of point-and-click adventures should enjoy the funny and compelling first installment of tiny & Tall: Gleipnir, providing you can overlook some broken English and perhaps the occasional glitch.
The Good:

Art and animation exude charm
Main characters are loveable and funny
Story is an original adaptation of an enchanting Norse legend
Puzzles are enjoyable and sometimes mildly challenging.
The Bad:

Rough English translation
Occasional technical issues
Too many hotspots are dead or not as interactive as they should be
Most incorrect item uses yield a standard and unoriginal response.
