MURI

It presents itself as a classic DOS action-platformer with a highly faithful recreation of their style and limitations, but it is SO-MUCH-MORE. It's PLAGUED with secrets, and when you start to understand their logic, you can't stop, it is SO satisfying getting to uncover all the secrets and unravel its exciting story... I beat it in my first sitting and had a total BLAST. If you like this classic kind of games, it will surpass all your expectations.

People like me, who grew up playing MS-DOS platformers like Duke Nukum (Yes that was his name back then, look it up) or Commander Keen, will feel right at home.

Scratched that EGA itch.

Short and sweet action-platformer that I can see myself replaying for better scores and higher difficulties. Really nails the DOS style and feel.

Yes.

Being fascinated by early and old hardware and software, I have always enjoyed the aesthetic of the old dos platformers like Commander Keen, Duke Nukem and Bio Menace and the likes, but one thing those games fail to have is modern quality of life. Often fixed by source ports, but those aren't always available or the best. Muri, on top of being an amazingly designed video game with beautiful retro art and fun gameplay, invokes the feeling of how people "remember" those old games. smooth, easy to run, challenging but fair, and overall just a blast to play through. A love letter to DOS Platforming through and through, and if you like the sound of that, you owe it to yourself to play this game.

A short but sweet homage to the MS-DOS era of platformers like Commander Keen and Duke Nukem made by 3D Realms.. or as it used to be known, Apogee Software. Colourful adventures split into multi-stage "episodes" where you have to find stronger weapons and make your way to an exit. MURI has four episodes, each of them comprised of four levels and then a boss fight. There are several difficulty settings and the higher you go the bigger your score multiplier. Easy is 1x, Normal is 2x, Hard is 3x, and the MURI difficulty is 4x. Every stage has a hidden time bonus that starts at 8000 points and ticks down as you play. At the beginning, end, and occasionally in the middle you were have brief cutscenes where Adwoa, the lady you're playing as, makes observations or encounters bosses. The story is.. odd, perhaps as part of their homage to the time or simply because part of the script is missing. I was fascinated by the story being told but by the end I was kinda left scratching my head. My first foray was on Normal difficulty and I thoroughly enjoyed the game. It was a blast! MURI difficulty is [i]very[/i] challenging but once enemies are dead they stay dead.. but that includes energy pick-ups, so use them wisely if necessary.
