Rex Rocket

A primeira metade do jogo é boa, usa bem a habilidade da arma carregada impulsionar os saltos de plataforma. O problema dessa habilidade é que o tiro é anulado se você tomar dano com ele carregado, e depois do meio do jogo é só spam de inimigos na tela (ainda por cima alguns atiram rajadas de tiros para todos os lados depois que morrem), deixando um simples pulo de um lado para o outro difícil. Além das plataformas ficarem menores e mais difíceis, o knockback chega ser pior que Ninja Gaiden de NES, pois as vezes você é empurrado pro mesmo lado que foi acertado, e não para o lado oposto.

Controles precisos, gráficos charmozinhos, uma história simples, mas funcional, com boss fights boas. O jogo peca no design de algumas salas, cutscenes e músicas que se repetem e na variedade de inimigos.

cute ass game well worth the dollar

Conclusion (TLDR): It's hard to recommend a game that feels like it doesn't want the player to beat it. Rex Rocket is a rage game disguised as an action/platformer. There's a a good bit of fun to be had if you can push through the BS, but I'd only recommend it if you enjoy having an antagonistic relationship with your entertainment. ------------------------------------ ----- Context ----- First off, a point of clarification; Rex Rocket is not a metroidvania. It's more akin to games like Cave Story and Metroid: Fusion, where the focus is more on the action/platforming than on the exploration. You'll still do a bit of wandering to find optional goodies (health/ammo expansions mostly), but at no point will you be required to take notes or remember anything. You'll gain new power-ups, but will then immediately be deposited in front of the next area where you'll use said power-up, with NPCs marking your next objective on your map every step of the way. That's not necessarily a bad thing, of course. Cave Story and Metroid: Fusion are some of my favorite games, and the linearity suits those games quite well. but it's good to know what you're buying. If you specifically love the world design of metroidvanias---finding power-ups, which allows you to explore previously inaccessible areas, leading to yet more power-ups, gradually unraveling the knot of the world---then you'll likely be disappointed in Rex Rocket. It's a very linear game. ----- The good ----- Lots of really solid boss design here. If this were more of a boss rush type of game, I could easily recommend it. The flexibility of your movement allows for some pretty aggressive attacks, and checkpoints in front of each arena means you won't be backtracking between attempts. Controls are also great. Rex feels pretty nice to handle, and I never felt like I wasn't in control of my character. Visual design is solid as well. Pixel art looks nice (obviously subjective), and readability is good. Never felt like I was blindsided by an enemy/projectile because it was blending into the background or anything. ----- The bad ----- Summary: The game loves to waste your time. You'll often go several rooms in a row without checkpoints, which can mean corpse running for several minutes on death. And since the level design and enemy placement feel intentionally designed to kill the player as often as possible, you'll be corpse running a lot. Unskippable dialogue during boss cutscenes also means a bit of button mashing between attempts. Keep in mind that infrequent checkpoints aren't necessarily a bad thing either. I had an absolute blast working on Celeste golden berries, for example, which require deathless clears of 7-10 minute long chapters (or 25 minutes in the case of my fwg clear). No checkpointing at all for those challenges, but some of the most fun I've ever had in a game <3 The problem is that Rex Rocket's level design and enemy placement are at odds with the checkpointing. Enemies will often attack you from unfair angles, or infinite spawn to constantly annoy you, or be placed in such a way to make certain jumps more annoying. Flying bats camping a ladder over an acid pit, or enemies that explode when hit, for example. In a game where you shoot your gun downwards to give yourself extra height, an exploding enemy mine placed between narrow platforms is the most annoying thing ever. Forces you to either not shoot, which limits your movement in those areas, or to risk the shot and potential blow up the mine, which can then knock you off the platform and into the acid/spikes. If you want your game to be a little mean spirited, I'm all for that. La-Mulana is another franchise I'm a big fan of, and those games LOVE their insta-death traps. But if you want to be mean, you either need take a cue from La-Mulana and sign-post your traps so the player can learn to look out for them, or do your best to minimize downtime. The later option seems more applicable here. I think more frequent checkpoints would allow this sort of mean-spirited level design to shine a bit more. Then you can be a bit more of an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ without alienating the player as much, as they'll kinda be in on the joke at that point. The player will end up looking forward to see the creative ways the game can kill them, because they know they won't be losing much progress if they die. The unskippable boss cutscenes are just inexcusable though, something of a cardinal sin of video games. Either give us the option to skip the cutscene, or don't play the cutscene more than once. Hell, I'd rather just have all of the cutscenes removed from the game entirely than to not be able to skip them.

Rex Rocket 10/10

Isso é uma jóia rara da steam. leve, bonito, divertido e barato. foi um dos primeiros jogos que comprei pra minha conta e até hoje eu não zerei pq eu fiquei empacado num chefe kkkkkkkkk mas recomendo muito se você curte um metroidvania mais puxado pro metroid mesmo, em que você depende apenas da exploração e da sua habilidade pra avançar no jogo, o meu caso só foi falta de paciência. só não posso falar da duração do jogo já que eu não zerei, mas em suma eu recomendo fortemente. um jogo bom desse custando só 2 conto principalmente hoje com a nintendo e a rockstar querendo fazer a gente pagar 500 pau num lançamento, é no mínimo uma surpesa muito agradável.
