After Death

Beat it in about 6 - 7 hours , the game is quite easy if you take your time to acquire all of the extra health and other boosts. The graphics are average, the music is above average, the platforming is average, the character moves a bit stiff for my liking, the enemies mostly have above average attack patterns. Overall the game is very average, I wish that you had a weapon rather then using your fists, it's a bit of a pain to melee enemies who are moving since you move a tad stiffly. Overall it's a very average metroidvania type of game. I'd only recommend if it drops on sale to below $5. 6/ 10

不是，为什么我的手柄没有任何反应，不是说支持手柄的吗

[b]After Death[/b] is an old-style Metroidvania that feels very barebone, almost like a C- college project, very basic and underwhelming, even though it definitely shows love to the 16bit era of console games. If this was a Metroidvania game made back then, when consoles were peak of gaming I'd say it's a pretty solid game, but for something that came out in 2017 considering all the advances in modern gaming, playing this feels very unsatisfying. At it's core the game is not bad, considering I'm giving a positive review, but the gameplay is as simple as it gets, map layout is weird and the writing is borderline questionable. In overall, true fans of the genre will somewhat appreciate this hidden gem, but for someone that plays Metroidvanias and 2D side-scrollers in general not that often this game will have a very polarized reception. 6/10

あーっ、メトロイドヴァニアやりてー！やりたいけど有名どころは全部やっちゃったんじゃー！！というあなたにおすすめ！ もっさり系アクションのメトロイドヴァニア。ストーリーもちゃんとあって投げ出されていない良い塩梅。 ⭕良いところ アイテム増やして行けるところを増やして〜という基本を抑えたメトロイドヴァニア 攻撃手段は最後までリーチ短い爪パンチ。このダサさになんとも味がある…… 8bitちっくなBGMが大層良い なんかどこかで聞いたことあるような懐かしいサウンド ビジュアルは普通 🔺微妙なところ 翻訳ありがたいんだけど、2バイト文字あるあるで、なんかたまにセリフが見切れてるところがある 会話シーンとかそんな無いからあんま気にならないけど

El juego parece poco cocinado, las animaciones son muy básicas y el diseño de nivel es bastante terrible, por no nombrar las escasas habilidades a la mínima variedad de enemigos. No existe recompensa alguna por matar ningún enemigo, no hay monedas, ni objetos, no hay sistema de leveling ni de equipamiento. El avance se basa simplemente en hacer skiping hasta llegar a los boss que nos da algo nuevo para poder avanzar. Existen mejores metroidvania en el mercado por el mismo precio

Do you want to punch skulls like an undead Vega? Floating skulls, skulls on vines, boss skulls, ghost skulls you freeze so you have something to punch! Then get ready for some old-school metroidvania action: stiff controls, no signposts, slow walking only made slower by lots of water! Played with an xbox controller. What you need to know: 1. You're an amnesiac. Shut up and punch skulls. 2. Walk slowly, start on life support, jump and brush the ceiling and be thrown to the ground. Get used to the controls. 3. The map. Go where you haven't been, find out you don't have the ability needed to continue, repeat until you find the way. 4. Pure metroidvania in that the ONLY upgrades come from exploration. Monsters only drop health refills and ranged ammo when you get that ability. 5. There are secrets but you really only gain access near the very end of the game so don't bother hitting every wall until you have opened the final portal. 6. Lots of bosses. There is a story but it really isn't the point. It could stand more concessions to modern gaming, but it leans into it and the challenges are fair. There's no cheesing bosses. If you like metroidvanias, watch a few seconds of the video and you should know pretty much if this game is for you or not.

At first it seems competent, but as you progress further and see every area feels the same and nothing is even remotely exciting, the game feels like a chore. I mean, even if we forgive the movility by taking the game as a tribute to old castlevania games, the writing of "the story" is mediocre at best, the bosses are uninteresting (some even borderline goofy tone breaking jokes), the enemies often are reskings of former enemies. so much so that the only thing that changes seems to be the background and some very similar music. Then, ss a true metroidvania fan, the first thing i do when i get a new skill is scouring the map for places I could acces with that skill, only to find nothing interesting, or that said skill only gets me to steps further down that path before i need ANOTHER skill i dont yet have... what? is the dev telling me that i have to scour every corner 50 times or that i have to go straight as far as possible before even to swipe the map for secrets... nah... Im not gonna refund it, it is not THAT bad, but its going into the "when theres nothing else to play" list

O jogo até é interessante, mas não é meu tipo de jogo. Sou apaixonado por jogos metroidvanias mas esse não me chamou muito atenção, ele é feito nos moldes dos jogos mais antigos do gênero. É bem linear, tem a jogabilidade bem simples e level design muito simples, simples até demais em todos esses quesitos e talvez por isso ele não me tenha chamado a atenção. Sinto que a exploração dele não é satisfatória o suficiente para continuar jogando, porém se vc curte jogos metroidvania no estilo mais retro e era viciado nos castlevanias clássicos, provavelmente você irá gostar desse também.

游戏荒发现的，含泪吃完了这坨（全收集+真结局），只说缺点，如果能接受的话再考虑入手。 1.首先，地图设计的完全就是一坨，需要后期能力才能通过的路居然需要进门走10秒甚至半分钟才能发现这儿现在不能过去，只能像个傻呗一样原路返回，配合上小怪换场景刷新和游戏没有血瓶的机制，让探索和收集都变成纯纯的折磨，玩着十分恶心，并且不止一两处是这样。 2.接上一条地图问题，游戏不支持向上向下看，但偏偏制作组喜欢设计这么多上下的场景，所以要么是下落过程中被小怪花式蹭血，要么是爬升过程中被小怪碰到，然后被硬直教做人带回最底层，恶心。 3.一些能力被拆分给不同boss，需要多次跑图才能收集齐，强行拖慢游戏进度，毫无意义。说的就是你，蜘蛛二段跳。 4.一些设计莫名奇妙，点名批评向左闪避和向右闪避是两个不同的按键。什么反人类设计，就不能设计成方向键控制左右？这很难实现吗？还有变蜘蛛的设计纯纯是为了这张shit地图，除了探路没有任何其他用处。 5.最后，在游戏里把那么多优秀的游戏放在一个场景里做成给玩家的彩蛋，结果是去其精华取其糟粕，端上来这么一坨，完全不像2017年的游戏，怪不得没人玩，活该。
