Jogo com músicas bem relaxantes e uma jogabilidade simples. Adorei ele para relaxar entre jogos mais estressantes. Aprovo e muito!
tremendo cozy metroidvania
Crypt Custodian was a lot of fun. The levels and upgrades were all very clever, the NPCs were actually fun, and the bosses were consistently fun to fight.
I'm a huge fan of the dev's artstyle and the music fits so well in game. If you like metroidvanias, give this one a try.
Very much enjoyed my time playing this. It is a wonderfully designed metroidvania/souls-like game with solid mechanics (+ interesting puzzles & clever workarounds) with a cute and simple yet emotional story-telling (and oh I loveeee the music direction of this game too). Was taking a break from Hollow Knights and picking up this game is for sure a great decision. This is an example of a game where fundamental mechanics done right could help elevate the game to a new height, no matter what the story that is being told. 9.2/10 would defo recommend :)
10/10, really loved this. I played Sheepo and really enjoyed the movement feel, so I tried this next. Absolutely nailed. Guess I need put Kyle's games on instabuy and play Islets next. Crypt Custodian feels great to move around in. The dash is snappy, the combat is simple but but challenging with choice via power ups that you equip, and the boss fights had a nice range. Some were basically free, some killed me five times. Overall a bit harder would have been fine. The length is a huge part of why I liked it so much I think. It took me 7ish hours, which gives enough time for depth and all of the shortcuts to merge together etc but not so long that it drags. I hate filler and forced backtracking. Free warps made it feel more like exploration. Maybe I'm just in the mood for metroidvania-lite these days and this game nailed it. The music and art are both excellent. Just excellent taste and execution all around.
Very nice game. I like the design, story and aesthetic.
One of the freshest feeling metroidvanias I've played in awhile. Also great music and art style! Works flawlessly on steam deck.
Sin duda un gran juego que me mantuvo sentado todo el tiempo y el encontrar cada item especial me hizo pensar de mas y eso me gusto bastante.
A fun little metroidvania with a cute art style. Not too challenging as metroidvanias go so I recommend this as a good introduction to the metroidvania genre.
