Curse of the Crescent Isle DX

This is a short platformer game, in which you select to play as the princess or the future prince, to save your country of the curse of the bad magician. The controls are really nice and consists mainly in jumping and picking enemies. The game saves in each room you arrive. This a good point, since some of the rooms are really challenging. The boss battles are really good and makes good use of its simple mechanics. The story is nice and fits well with the experience. The level design is very good and even though the gameplay is simple, it always adds new elements to the challenge.

I like the style of the game and the idea that picking up monsters changes your movement. But that's about it. The controls feel very awkward. The level design is uninspired. So is the music. Also the menu is barebone. At first glance this game looks like a mix between Mario Bros. 2 and Wonderboy. But it's nothing like that. This game is not ready, yet. Fixing the controls could make this game fun. But in the current state I can not recommend it.

This game has a cute mechanic of using and riding enemies with different abilities. While not comepletely unique (Little Nemo), its one that isn't done too often and is well implemented here. The game plays smoothly and it was worth playing through again just to get all the coins and such. It'll be a relatively short experience for sure, but the price is reflective of that and it's still really good. If your steaem library is mostly composed of retro style games like mine, this'll be a good addition to it.

Веселая игра, но к сожалению оооочень короткая. Полностью проходится меньше чем за час. Еще один минус это ее легкость (уровень повысить нельзя, умереть окончательно в игре невозможно) 8/10.

People like to compare this to Super Mario Bros. 2, but it plays much more like a puzzle platformer. The main challenge is figuring out how to proceed in the levels, not defeating enemies. Bosses are pretty easy too. It's a good way to spend a couple of hours.

Bad Mario 2 clone

good game

Great

I played the original version of this game way back in 2011 when it was up for sale on Xbox Live's Indie Game Marketplace and when I saw that a updated DX version had been released I knew I had to get it. The game has a very Mario Brothers 2 feel with the gameplay element of riding on top of, picking up, and throwing enemies but includes the added touch that some enemies have special properties that can be used in the level including freezing water and enemies, enlarging them, breaking rocks, or reversing gravity which adds some freshness to the gameplay. It's not a very long game however and you can easily beat it in less than an hour. Unlike the original version this DX version adds several new features, The original had 8-bit NES style graphics while this new version sports 16-bit style graphics with much more animations, colors, and gfx effects not found in the original and the music has been completely redone. Sometime though I preferred the original 8-bit inspired tracks but the new ones are just as good if its you're first time playing this game. In addition, it also adds the Queen as a playable character, a password system, and 2 added modes that are a Boss Rush mode and a Speed Run mode which adds some replayability to extend your short romp through the Crescent Isles. Some annoying aspects to this DX version are several bugs that can be frustrating such as enemies becoming ungrabbable if placed directly on the edge of a platform which if its an enemy with an ability essential to beating the stage will stop you from beating it but the game has an option to restart the stage you are currently on so you can retry if it happens. Sometimes button presses can lag which might result in falling into a pit but its not something that makes the game unplayable. Overall this is a decent game. If you've played the original this one is worth checking out for the added content but if its your first time playing you will definitely enjoy it.
