Corsair`s Madness Prologue: Jungle`s Island

[h1]王道の横スクロールアクション。盛りだくさん[/h1] ワールド1が遊べるデモ版だが、序盤でこんなにアクションを盛り込むのかと思う濃さ。それにくわえてギミックやアイテム購入、コンボ、表と裏のプレイなど盛りだくさんな印象。横スクロールアクションゲームが好きな人なら、デモ版でもしっかり楽しめる濃度だと思った。ステージの構成が色々なことと、序盤でダッシュができるようになることもあり、ゲームを通して飽きずにプレイができそうな期待感がある。 気になる点を挙げるなら島の移動がSTGなので好き嫌いがありそうな点と、仕方ないが日本語翻訳が機械翻訳でいまいちなところ。冒頭デモがスキップできちゃうのもまぁ悲しい気はしないでもない。 敵の倒し方も色々あるので、製品版ではいろいろな体験ができそう。とりあえずこのデモ版を遊んで気に入ったらウィッシュリストに放り込むのがオススメ。良いゲームだと思う。

"Corsair`s Madness Prologue: Jungle`s Island" is not a game. It's an advertisement for a product called "Corsair's Madness". Corsair's Madness is a 2D retro pixel platformer slapped together badly with GameMaker Studio (blight on gaming that it is), featuring platforming and a couple of other game modes, but it's ultimately a shallow experience... presumably why the shady developer behind this incorrectly published advert paid so much money for all the fake Russian reviews... and wow, who is paying money for positive reviews for an advert? Anyway, Corsair's Madness is a garbage GameMaker Studio kitbash/asset flip tier shovelware entry at the shallow end of the Steam trashware section. But this isn't completely relevant because this is not Corsair's Madness, it's just an advertisment for it, so it's not correct to try to review that completely distinct product. We must instead review this for what it is... an advertisement. If you enjoy advertisements, you can consume them for free on the web or on Youtube without needing to add them to your game library, download them, and then launch the advertising. It's impossible in a general sense to recommend people should do that over playing real, full games on Steam, and that applies here with "Corsair`s Madness Prologue: Jungle`s Island" too. The purpose of this advertisement and the fake Russian reviews the developer paid for is to get you to fork out ten bucks to buy the full pixelcrap game, and based on how unethical the developer is, I can't recommend it. This is only free in the same way that adverts on Youtube and banner ads in your browser are. This is a game demo that's been dumped on Steam to advertise another Steam store page in the hopes of raking in some cash. Just because advertisements are free, doesn't mean they're worth your time. It's important to understand there's a formal process to create a demo/page for a game which hasn't been followed here: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/application/demos While it might seem like an inocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful. This advertisement is taking up marketing space and visibility that would be better made available to a developer that's done the right thing and created a full game. Instead, that visibility is given over to a demo/advert that's been published incorrectly and is polluting the marketplace. It's unclear if this mistake was made through incompetence or a deliberate intent to mislead gamers. Often developers may choose to incorrectly publish demo/advertisements as separate games as a cheap way to bypass paying Valve for marketing presence on the Steam front page, which may seem clever to them, but it's harmful behaviour and it's not good for gamers. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at just a dozen or so concurrent players, and now there's basically nobody playing it. Even though it's free. This is a dismal public reception, but it's easy to see why gamers rejected it.

They're all written in either Russian or broken English, appear at almost exactly the same time, very shortly after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, and the accounts are used consistently to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams. The "Positive" review score on this game should be disregarded due to this blatant, unethical review manipulation. This is done to deceive and scam gamers into paying for a bad product. Due to the 2024 FTC ruling (16 CFR Part 465), these fake reviews are a violation of US Federal Law.[/quote] Advertisements and incorrectly published demos don't add +1 to your game collector count, they aren't full games. It's impossible for me to recommend this incorrectly published advertising spam to gamers, you deserve better than adverts.
