DarkMaus

"Dark Maus" is a nice and stylish top-down souls-like with an appropiate difficulty and a rather short length. The atmosphere is dense and the combat - while feeling heavy at first - is enjoyable once you get the hang of it. Exploration is rewarded and the small bits of lore fit nicely. Sadly, there is no "Estus-Flask"-mechanic, only farmable consumables for healing which may be offputting for some. Can still be considered a classic in the indie souls-like vein!

Why am I reviewing this just now?

It was great and I was in the groove, got through the first 2 areas and then I got to the prison and my enjoyment dropped off a cliff because the game added traps, traps that you have to iframe... which I did only to be then caught by a hunter who killed me and took part of my health bar, making getting through the traps again much harder, and, assuming I get through the traps, I'll only be destroyed by the hunter most likely

A great homage to Dark Souls 1, as well as interesting and fun of its own right. It has a distinctive and memorable atmosphere. I truly wish the developer had been able to make this with more people and expand on it, make some DLC or a sequel, because I was left wanting more. Still, I appreciate that he made this at all

The game is amazing, but there are far too many traps

It's pretty cool top-down Souls-like game.

Une véritable immersion réaliste dans la rude vie des souris combattant les morts-vivants revenus les hanter dans des terres déchues.
