Fatal Claw

It still needs a bit of tuning (the early game is too easy, and the late game does a large difficulty spike), but this is overall quite a good Metroidvania. The game is gorgeous, the biomes are distinct and pretty well designed, and the movement is quite good (though the fast fall takes a bit of time to get used to). It has a lot of different mechanics that all play decently well together, and the lore/story is pretty good. It also has an interesting endgame mechanic that hasn't been done in any game I can remember, and without spoiling it, it allows a lot of branching story paths that you can take in a single playthrough. It also runs smoothly and has very few bugs. Don't expect Silksong or Nine Sols quality, but it's not too far off, maybe one tier below.

TL;DR: I have played much Hollow Knight, Silksong, and Nine Sols and this is a Metroidvania that I would gladly recommend to anyone who also loves these games. 8.5/10. If you're on the fence, get it. Review: Imagine starting Silksong with the Beast crest with no lifesteal and less floaty movement. That's how this game starts. There are no other 'crests' to get (as far as I know), but you can upgrade the base crest. Yes the controls are stiff in the beginning, but you'll get more movement as the game goes on. You also get a dashmaster charm early-ish and that helps make all movement more fluid and Hollow Knight-like. The movement progression is also pretty Silksong-like in terms of when you get each new movement. Pogos are your friend. You also have a dodge-behind-enemy ability that helps a lot. 'Engraves' are this game's silk skills and have a neat twist on them halfway through the game. World opens up after the second area and each boss is pretty straightforward; I think I took 3-4 tries for two bosses while the other eight bosses I cleared first try. You can adjust the gameplay to how forgiving you want it to be, and the default settings feel like a slightly-more-forgiving Hollow Knight. Healing requires channeling to restore one health point, and subsequent healing is faster after the first point. No invincibility frames mid-dash, but enemies are easier to dodge and telegraph their movements more than Hollow Knight in my opinion. Although some areas have repetitive music, there are some areas with banger themes. Story is fine.

Je viens de faire le dernier boss de la trame principale , et que dire ^^ Moi qui est finit frustrée de Silksong et n'ai pus le finir; ce jeu m'as vraiment fais du bien. La difficultée est bien gérée, avec des passages plus compliquées mais justifier Et certaines mecanique servent bien pour ne pas rendre la tache redondante ( je parle de toi, la tp et la garde de la monnaie) Donc un bon jeu, pas long et charmant ;)

es juego es muy bueno bastante bueno diría. también es muy largo y tiene mucho contenido . otro punto a favor es que tiene un buen precio de paso esta regionalizado lo que ayuda mucho si quieres comprarlo. también el desarrollador esta bastante pendiente en el foro por lo que suelen estar pendiente de su comunidad.

pretty :3

올 업적까지 20시간 정도 걸렸네요. 솔직히 말하면, 거의 잡탕에 가깝습니다. 굳이 따지면 할나 라이크에 더 가까운 편이고, 맵 구성이나 진행 방식 자체가 거의 할나1 의 구성에 가깝습니다. 그저 무난하다 라는 평이 제일 맞을 것 같고, 불합리하거나 한 것은 없습니다. 그래도 전체적인 맵 구성 자체는 꽤 잘 된 편입니다.

这游戏非常非常不适合对操作手感敏感的玩家，游戏的手感轻飘飘的，尤其是下劈，下劈，下劈！游戏判定很奇怪，有时候明打到怪了，还是判定没打到自己还受伤，从新手区的矿场boss冲墙弹起+激光扫射组合看制作组有引导玩家探索下劈的想法，但游戏糟糕的判定和手感毁了一切

Awesome aesthetic plays flawlessly on Linux
