Crypt Custodian

메트로바니아 장르 고유의 피로도나 불쾌감을 줄이고, 난이도도 너무 쉽지도 어렵지도 않게 줄타기를 잘한 게임 특히 조작이 직관적이고 판정이 굉장히 관대해서 입문자들에게 추천

I spent around 10 hours with Crypt Custodian on Steam Deck, mainly just going through the story without aiming for 100%. What I got was a really solid indie experience that I genuinely enjoyed from start to finish. While it’s clearly inspired by Hollow Knight, the game doesn’t feel like a copy. Instead, it finds its own identity with a more relaxed pacing and a less punishing approach, while still keeping a decent level of challenge. That balance worked really well for me, especially on Steam Deck, where it felt like a perfect game to just pick up and play. The world is beautiful in a subtle way, supported by a strong atmosphere and a surprisingly emotional tone at times. The story is minimalist, but still manages to land a few touching moments. The photo collectibles in particular stood out more than I expected and added a nice layer to the world. Combat is fairly simple and not very deep mechanically, but it stays fun throughout the whole game. It never gets in the way of the experience and fits the overall design well. The soundtrack is easily one of the highlights — it’s excellent and does a lot of heavy lifting in building the mood and atmosphere. Combined with the visuals and character design, it makes the world feel memorable despite its simplicity. My only real issue was with the inventory and map clarity. At times it wasn’t immediately obvious where certain keys should be used, which led to some unnecessary backtracking and guessing. Overall, Crypt Custodian is a great indie game that I really enjoyed on Steam Deck. It’s not trying to reinvent the genre, but it delivers a charming, atmospheric and consistently enjoyable experience.

After finishing Islets, I purchased Crypt Custodian. This is a fun little Metroidvania. The game play was enjoyable, the story was really cute. Visually, this game has such unique areas each with their own vibe. I still prefer Islets which was more straight forward platformer type. But the style and atmosphere of each section grew on me. At one point, I wasn't sure where to go next and had gone as far as I could to be up against two totally different bosses in different areas. But once I beat those bosses, the remaining game play was fun. I enjoyed the extra content after you beat the game. That was a really nice touch. Not sure I'll replay it again anytime soon, but definitely enjoyed it. Definitely pick this up. It's fun, challenging, and a nice addition to this genre.

fun little game not too hard platforming or boss fights cant miss anything as well

i was having a good run on difficult kendra, i beat it quickly im happy, 99/100 S. time limits are bad designed but everything else is good.

没打完原价入的，冲着画风和类银来玩的，后面玩着玩着感觉被地图和换皮怪强健了就打不下去了，等下回打完再看要不要改评。

Es un juego triste pero mu bonito :') Muy recomendable y con buen gameplay

我也有一只小黑猫，非常淘气，会趴在我和丈夫中间睡觉。

优点： 地图很大，故事很温馨，操作丝滑。2D俯视视角的跳台子在类银里面很少见，打扫垃圾拆东西很解压，打击感很棒，探索自由度高，两种模式的地图便于寻路 缺点： 战斗难度低，解谜难度极低，全程基本无脑过。 隐藏设计较差，藏得莫名其妙，不过游戏内有标记，倒也不太影响游戏体验，是游戏形式创新带来的牺牲，地图全是浮空台子确实不好藏 结局比较戛然而止，强行洗白，同时没有解释清楚世界观和前因后果
