DISCLAIMER:
As this title is currently in Early Access, Not all of it’s planned features have been added yet. This preview is of the game in it’s CURRENT state.
Action Henk is a racing platformer game currently available on the PC. It features a large variety of maps and racing challenges, sure to challenge even the most avid of platformer or racing gamer.
However, the one question I thought whilst playing this title was… Is it really worth the admission price of £6.99 ($9.99/ or your country’s equivalent). In it’s current state (as an early access title), I would say that it just may fit that bill.
At times, playing Action Henk feels extremely reminiscent of games like Sonic the Hedgehog, Joe Danger, and possibly even Excitebike. The design of the games racing tracks is rather open, leading to multiple paths and options of which route to take, in order to beat yours, your friends or the game’s pre-set in-game ghosts. The gameplay itself is very simplistic, which makes the game very accessible to people of all ages. As you complete tracks and advance through the stages, new obstacles and even enemies appear in an attempt to thwart you. In this respect, the game keeps itself very fresh, and with it’s addictive nature, I can see myself putting many more hours into the title as new tracks and challenges appear in the future.
As it stands, Action Henk is currently a very competent, fun and addictive game. I feel that, with time, as more tracks and features are implemented, Action Henk could become a new staple in arcade platforming goodness.
