Demons of Asteborg

Игра классная, крутые босс-файты, интересные повороты сюжета, и я бы поставил высшую оценку. Но тому гейм-дизайнеру, что сделал платформинг, вероятно, на последнем уровне, нужно дать по лицу. Зачем так делать, чтоб ты постоянно страдал, задевая миллиметрами перса какие то штыри или не понятно что, я не понимаю. В остальном игра топ.

After playing a lot of really bad games, its nice to finally pick something up that is actually good. + is positive - is negative = is neutral - the price is a bit high, its 1.5$ per hour, but not anything extreme. - the plot is kinda plain. I don't see many plotholes, but also character dialogue sometimes feels forced or awkward. With some emotional parts not really needing to be emotional, and some non-emotional parts being abrupt and simplified. + the art is insane, its easily some of the most impressive design i have ever seen in a pixel art style game. It also melds with the gameplay to make some really wild stuff. The devs really tested the limits of what was possible, and it shows. + Gameplay is super fun, each chapter you get a spell, and you get to use it properly, it never feels forced the way it does in most games with mechanics. Everything you earn feels helpful, and not a hindrance or unnecessary. + While there are some chokes, especially near the end, and some hitboxes feel a bit wonky, most of the level design is really solid, and again, a lot of experimental 3d art is found throughout the game combined with some insanely good graphics. - The game tends to be poorly optimized, at least the version you just run from the get-go, i did experience lag during specific large enemies and actions, this does not have anything to do with my pc, which im currently running a 5070 (and other similar specs) Over all, this game is heavily riding on its amazing visuals, and unique gimmicks, and it completely delivers, It is a very solid game, and i see now reason for anyone reading this to ignore it.

I'm going to thumb up this game even though I completed only the first 3 levels of the game and I'm not going to bother continuing - at least not any time in the recent future. Reason being the game is GREAT for what it is - an ACTUAL old school platformer - with all its charms and its flaws. The reason I personally am not going to bother playing more of the game is simply because I found the difficulty settings not doing it for me. The Normal difficulty is the right way to play the game - but like true old school platformers-style, it requires a couple of retries to complete a level. The checkpoints are quite farther apart, and there are limited lives. If you run out of lives, it's game over and you start the level all over from the beginning. The game does have the perfect amount of challenge on Normal, but I simply just don't have the patience or time for it. The Easy difficulty on the other hand - gives you unlimited lives - I appreciated this change, but what bummed me out was that the bosses - which are the most satisfying part of the levels - die in few hits - making the game WAAY too easy. I feel there could've been an intermediate difficulty where you just get unlimited lives, but leave the boss difficulty the same as Normal. If at all that gets patched in, I would LOVE to get back into the game. As it is right now, it's for a very niche audience - and I believe a simple intermediary difficulty setting between Easy and Normal would've definitely pleased me.

Ein neues Megadrive Spiel wäre das damals rausgekommen wäre das ein Blockbuster gewessen.

Très bon jeu ! Je viens juste de rager car j'ai eu 2 game over au deuxième boss a normal... Je suis mauvais mais très bon jeu !!

What a great surprise is this game! I had a megadrive back in the day when I was a kid and I must say: This is a true classic of the console already! It reminded me of Golden Axe and Decap Attack and even got Sonic references as well I confess that the Caastlevania rip off stage was unecessary and felt odd Where this game really shines is in the gameplay and Soundtrack departments The theme for the cemetery and the mountain stages are total bangers And the final theme encompass everything that the megadrive era delivered: relief and joy for finishing a game with a simple and triumphant melody Congratulations for everybody involved Keep making games! God Bless

I wish I could time travel so I can give this gem to my young self. Could have been a serious challenger to the Castlevania series by this time!

Thank You Neofid Team Great Work! Um AAA de Mega Drive em 2021! Como se tivesse sido lançado em 1994 ao lado dos melhores 16bits de plataforma, como Castlevania Bloodlines, Demons Crest, Shinobi III, Skyblazer, Contra Hard Cops e tantos outros. O Que o Jogo é? Ele é um jogo de ação linear não é um metroidevania, apesar de ter alguns caminhos a seguir eu prefiro assim sem perda de tempo, focado em combates e plataforma que são muito bem pensados com inimigos diferentes e cenários diversos pra vc passar. Funciona bem? A jogabilidade é fluida e a emulação é ótima dando a impressão de estar jogando um jogo novo de Megadrive, joguei num controle da 8bitdo que fica excelente, queria usar esse emulador em outros jogos! Qualidade e Nostalgia Esse jogo faz muito sentido pra quem teve um Mega Drive nos anos 90, a sensação de estar jogando um jogo da época com um toque de modernidade, com história boa, com chefes difíceis na medida certa, o jogo possui save game do capitulo e está em várias línguas, sons e músicas incríveis. Difícil eu elogiar tanto mas vale muito a pena pra quem não conseguiu ter uma cópia física e joga com um controle retrô.

Hacia mucho que no me entretenia un juego de plataforma, enojarme y seguir intentando, casi siempre, lo dejo y paso a otro, pero este, es muy bueno en general, mantener los 16bits y una buena calidad en general, que su idioma pueda configurarse, le da un plus. Me he vuelto a sentir un niño, poniendo el cartucho en la sega y tener a mano el transformador para que no se queme nada jajajaja.

Overall, pretty good old school game. Input is tight, feels comfort. Some of the hit check is kind of weird, but not out of place. You can use cheat to enable hidden character, but that character won't beat a lot of the boss(maybe didn't implement that). The really only downside is that, boss fight feels like puzzle, not really a fight. If you figure out, some will still post a challenge since the timing can be tricky.
