Mute Crimson+

this game dope, many funs big mad much style do reccomendo

Really on the fence on this one, on one hand you can tell the dev tried really hard, with slick graphics, a good ost, and well thought out level design, but the game is beset with really strange gameplay choice, such as some super slow acceleration frames when you start moving, absurdly huge hitboxes on everything (especially wall climbing, if your little toe touch a platform on the way up you ll end up in wall climbing animation even tho 99.9% of the sprite is hugging the air), a miserable wall jump heigth, and overall a game going slower than what you'd expect. Still giving it a thumb up out of respect for the hard work that obviously went in it.

Extremely short and lacking in variety when it comes to gameplay, visuals or how levels are constructed, but Mute Crimson+ is still a fun time if you enjoy 2D platformers along the same lines as Ninja Gaiden for the NES - except much more fair. It ain't winning any awards, but it's perfectly serviceable. ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆

Lindo juego. Con estética y jugabilidad retro. Sólo dos botones: Salto y golpe de espada. Nada más. Simple y eficaz. Con buen control. Empieza facilito pero la dificultad se incrementa. La variedad de enemigos es escasa, pero el juego se centra más en el plataformeo que en el combate, asique eso pasa a un segundo plano. Además de eso, te dan dos juegos al precio de uno.

"I dont speak computer, computer." Die Cutscenen sind einfach der Hammer :D Sind sehr witzige Dialoge, und das nicht so perfekte Ninja-Englisch macht es noch etwas witziger. Anfangs dachte ich, dann habe ich halt noch ein jump n run und spiele es eben durch. Aber der Schwierigkeitsgrad steigt an. Am Ende dachte ich, ich spiele I Wanna be the guy. Da sagte ich mir - jetzt nur noch schnell durchspielen und schnell wieder deinstallieren. Weil aufhören kann man nicht. Und an den schwierigen Stellen kann es dann manchmal frustrierend sein. Aber es macht definitiv Bock und das Gefühl, es doch zu schaffen ist es wert. Nunja. Nun bin ich damit beschäftigt, die versteckten oder nur umständlich zu erreichenden Bonus Münzen aufzusammeln.

A great 2d platformer in the vein of the classic NES Ninja Gaiden games of old. This one is actually a remake of a modest looking but really fun XBLG title (which is actually included here as a bonus unlockable!) The visuals are very well done and quite atractive despite sticking to use a limeted color palette mostly made up of black, white and red. The music is quite good as well with great tunes that set the current stage's given mood. Control wise is simple and responsive on gamepads as well as on keyboards, and you can even customize controls as you see fit. And you'll definitely appreciate the game's simple controls and its responsiveness, for this game's challenge is definitely on the tough side, so checkpoints and unlimited lives are appreciated in order to see the game's simple but entertaining story to the end. Speaking of the game's story, the game seems to pay an homage to the silly localization that the infamous Sega Genesis title Zero Wing got back in the day. Yup, the story is told in an intentionally silly english script that barely makes sense. Some may find it annoying, but others will definitely get a chuckle or two out of it. All in all, this is one of the better retro styled 2d platformer games available on steam. An easy recomendation for sure, and hey, there is now a new updated version (Mute Crimson DX) that features lots of QOL updates should you want more of what this title offers!

I might not want to recommend this to those hardcore types out there. If you came to look for something that lives up to old school NES games like Ninja Gaiden. This isn't it. It's much, much easier than that game is! Sure, it gets hard. But the difficulty of this game is how willing you are to keep dying to get that coin surrounded by spikes. I mean sure. You need pixel perfect movement to get through the later levels. And the reflexes of a fruit fly to get past some enemies. But none of that matters when you respawn at a checkpoint 5 jumps away. RN I collected all of the coins from the City level all the way up to the Moon level. And in that span of 5 different worlds, I haven't raged quit once! That's not what I expected from the store page! I expected to have my A S S handed to me. Not half-assed handed to me! I haven't even broken a sweat yet! But while all that I've said above leads you to believe I don't like this game. Nope. You are wrong about that. I actually do like this game. It's kinda like a harder kirby for me really. I'd let my 5 yr old play this as a warm up before I beat him up in Slap City. If you are below the ages of 5-11( which I estimate roughly half the people on steam are) I thoroughly recommend this game. It's a great "getting good at video games" game. And If you find yourself having a rough time getting through this game, I recommend reading the subtitles to the cutscenes out loud, preferably before bed. Your grammar teacher will love your for it. Thank me later. :)
