Crypt Custodian

This game is such a weird blend but it's pulled off beautifully. It's a metroidvania, platformer, bullet hell, puzzle game, and silly farcical comedy. Most importantly, the gameplay is a delight--the controls are responsive and everything ranges from fun and easy to moderately tough and [i]almost[/i] frustrating. Exploration is fun, the map is huge and varied, the abilities--and the way they interact with the game world--are interesting (e.g., there's a zone where half the enemies and their attacks phase in or out every time you dash, which allows you to dodge enemies/their attacks by strategically dashing), and the upgrade system is neat (you collect upgrades and have to spend points to activate them, can mix and match them, and, if you buy enough points, you can activate all 32 of them). The platforming is smooth and forgiving (instead of falling into the abyss, if you're close enough--maybe a tiny bit on the edge?--your character 'snaps' onto the target platform. Timed challenges put my limited platforming skills to the test without being truly frustrating. The combat is fun and mostly scales in difficulty when you have more enemies on screen (because you can only take 4 or 5 hits before 'dying'). The bosses are mostly a variety of bullet hell challenges; I'm terrible at bullet hell games, but if I kept reminding myself to focus on dodging everything and worry about attacking after that, I fared reasonably well. The puzzles, possibly with one exception, are relatively straightforward but still fun to complete. The comedy, though, is very special to me. Most (all?) of the characters are some form of delightfully oblivious/dim and completely unaware of and unbothered by it. There aren't really malicious (talking) characters in the game, just silly fools who caused harm through their greed or selfishness. I haven't seen similar humor in other games (except by the same developer) and it's such a joy in Crypt Custodian (and Islets). Don't get this if you're looking for something outrageously difficult or dark and serious. But if you'd like a light, very fun, player-friendly metroidvania/platformer/bullet hell silly farce, this is definitely worth checking out.

A cozy metroidvania where you are a cat, cleaning up the afterlife and making friends along the way! 6/10 The cast of characters are very silly, the music is solid, and I liked environments/art style. This games did have some issues, personally it was too easy, the special attacks/badges were very hit or miss, as well as it was quite repetitive at times. Edit: The boss rush is a glorified button masher & the achievements attached doesn't value your time :)

진짜 너무 재밌었어요 똥손이라 컨트롤 잘 못해서 플레이타임이 길어졌는데, 계속 도전하다보면 깰 수 있는 난이도라 끝까지 달릴 수 있었던 것 같아요ㅜㅜ 메트로배니아 좋아하는데 손이 따라주지 않아 중간에 포기한 게임들이 많았는데 엔딩 본 것만 해도 너무 감격스러워요... 수집품 모으고 다양한 보스 깨가는게 재밌었습니다!! 워프 지점이 많아서 타 게임보다 길찾기도 수월했어요! 왕 추천 캐릭터들도 넘 귀여워요

瑕不掩瑜。 整体难度不高，不看攻略也能自己收集个七七八八。 结局比较急，肯德拉的行为没有得到很好的解释。 但谁又会拒绝想见主人的猫猫呢。

The best game from 2024 and it's not close. The soothing soundtracks, the captivating top down view, the creative and unique enemies and bosses, the NPC's, all are done extremely well. Would recommend to anyone who has played metroidvanias before otherwise, you may have a tough time navigating and backtracking through the world.

Great game. Just like previous one, Islets, story is rather straightforward, controls are easy, gameplay and visuals are pretty good, combat is satisfying.

Очень хочется больше подобных игр! Затянула сразу же своим милым и немного грустным сюжетом, приятной рисовкой, простым и понятным геймплеем и минимальным количеством багов (по крайней мере у меня). Некоторые части карты приходилось искать с помощью интернета, но общее впечатление это не испортило. Однозначно рекомендую пройти эту игру! Жаль что так мало отзывов, игра очень недооценена.

나름 괜찮은 플레이 방식임 피회복이 없는 대신 텔레포가 자유롭다는 점에서 괜찮은 것 같다고 생각함
