다깻는데 히든보스를 도저히 못찾겠음 제발좀 찾아줘요 ㅠㅠ
동굴이야기(cave stroy)를 오마쥬한 게임입니다. 게임 그래픽이나 인터페이스까지 참고했네요. 플레이 느낌도 비슷하고 레트로풍 액션게임 좋아하시면 추천해드립니다!
所有时间全在打boss,真的是一个超爽的游戏,有几个boss有难度,大都数基本多打几次熟悉规律就很简单了,总之是一个不错的游戏,适合打折时购入。
太短了,困难模式通关连两小时都用不到,不过全程也没有一个惊喜点,竟然也算是短痛了。 作为一个boss rush游戏,boss设计却出乎意料的垃圾,一个boss基本就是两个招式搁那重复,招式的弹速基本较快,靠反应躲避实现初见通过还是比较困难的,但是背板过后又简单的很,可以说boss在做到既浪费人时间,实现恶心人的同时,还不具备挑战性,看得出来制作组的功力是相当的差,建议跟泰坦之魂取取经,虽然后者也只是多了点RNG要素,来让boss战变得比较有趣味性和不那么重复罢了。 游戏的音乐和画面还是不错的,不过还不足以为其加分。 总的来说应该是一个不推荐,毕竟比这强的游戏简直多了去了,甚至有的是不需要waste your money。 4/10
짧은 플레이 타임을 가진 보스 러시 게임. 보스마다 난이도가 천차만별이지만, 각 보스의 패턴을 파악하고 보스를 잡는 확실한 재미가 있다.
я играл в юпг и мне выпало это добро. Последний дебчик тоесть тупа ПАЖИЛАЯ ЧИРИПАХА ОЧИНЬ СТРАШНАЯ И ОНА МЕНЯ УБИВАЛА СИЛЬНА А ТАК ДОБРИНЬКО
평가 잘 안남기는데 이 게임은 남길만 합니다. 할인해서 일단 받은 게임이었는데, 그래픽 깔끔하고 배경음악도 찰떡에 난이도 조절도 깔쌈합니다. 다만 컨트롤 부족하신 분들은 쉬움 난이도도 어렵게 느낄 수는 있을 것 같네요. 다 깨고 나서 크레딧 나오는거 보니까 거의 1인 개발을 하셨더군요. 대단합니다. 이런 게임 더 나왔으면 좋겠습니다. 그리고 처음 깰 때 쉴드 있는지도 몰랐는데, 알고 보니 좌상단에 뜨고 아이템도 있었네요. 이거 튜토리얼에 알려주는 내용이 있었으면 좋겠습니다. 전반적으로 가장 만족스럽게 한 게임 중 하나였습니다. To English Speakers: This indie game is worth playing. Not that expensive, great ideas, and terrific designs and musics. I liked it.
Sacred Stones is a stylish throwback to the golden era of 8-bit and 16-bit action platformers, and it wears its inspirations proudly while still carving out its own identity. Developed and published by CFK Co., Ltd., the game immediately evokes the structure and pacing of classics like Mega Man, Contra, and early arcade-inspired shooters, offering tight side-scrolling stages, fast combat, and boss encounters built around pattern recognition and precision movement. From the opening moments, Sacred Stones communicates exactly what kind of experience it intends to deliver—no filler dialogue, no cinematic padding, just pure gameplay-driven progression built for players who enjoy old-school challenge, responsive controls, and immediate feedback. That clarity of purpose makes it an appealing entry for retro fans longing for something authentic rather than modernized imitation. Gameplay lies at the heart of Sacred Stones’ appeal. Levels are short but carefully constructed obstacle courses filled with enemies, platforming hazards, and environmental traps that demand patience, observation, and timing. Movement feels fluid yet deliberate, and the protagonist’s abilities—shooting, jumping, dodging, and switching weapons—form a compact but versatile toolkit. Enemy placement encourages methodical advancement rather than reckless sprinting, rewarding players who learn attack patterns and react appropriately. Boss battles stand out as highlights, each built around distinctive mechanics, phases, and telegraphs that harken back to arcade-era design philosophy. They strike a thoughtful balance between difficulty and fairness, often defeating players first through surprise but becoming manageable once rhythms and cues are understood. The game demands mastery, but never in a way that feels dishonest or artificially punishing. Progression is intentionally minimalist, reinforcing the retro sensibility. Sacred Stones does not rely on deep upgrade trees, sprawling inventories, or excessive collectibles—the satisfaction comes from improving player skill rather than accumulating power. Small tweaks, weapon variations, and strategic decisions add nuance, but the core experience remains grounded in mechanical execution. This restraint keeps pacing brisk and focused, allowing players to jump into a level, attempt a boss fight, or revisit earlier challenges without long stretches of downtime or menu navigation. It also supports replayability, since revisiting stages with a stronger understanding of their structure naturally leads to tighter runs, cleaner executions, and personal speedrunning potential. While some modern players may wish for more layered progression systems, the simplicity aligns with the game’s philosophy and maintains purity of design. Visually, Sacred Stones embraces pixel art with confidence and charm. Sprites are clean, expressive, and animated with just enough frames to feel lively while staying true to the era it references. Stage backgrounds incorporate subtle details—technological ruins, mechanical corridors, barren landscapes—that create a believable world without overwhelming the screen. Color palettes shift meaningfully between levels, reinforcing variety and mood. The soundtrack completes the nostalgic presentation with upbeat chip-inspired melodies and percussive rhythms that energize gameplay without overshadowing it. Sound effects are crisp and satisfying, giving weight to weapon fire, defeat, and movement. Altogether, the audiovisual package feels cohesive, polished, and lovingly crafted with an appreciation for the platformers that defined the genre. Still, the game’s dedication to retro authenticity may limit its appeal for certain audiences. Difficulty spikes can feel abrupt, especially for players unused to memorization-based progression or tight hitbox navigation. The campaign’s length leans modest, and those expecting expansive worlds or narrative depth may walk away wanting more. The minimalist story offers loose framing rather than character-driven arcs, and while this suits the gameplay focus, it means emotional investment depends entirely on the player’s appreciation of mechanical challenge rather than narrative motivation. Additionally, some stages may feel repetitive if approached too quickly, since the game emphasizes mastery and repetition rather than constantly introducing new mechanics. Despite these caveats, Sacred Stones succeeds because it understands the essence of great retro action platformers—clarity, rhythm, feedback, difficulty curve, and mechanical satisfaction. It doesn’t try to modernize or reinvent foundational design principles; instead, it refines them into a crisp, accessible, and rewarding experience. It respects the player’s time and intelligence, trusting them to learn, adapt, and persevere rather than holding their hand. For fans of arcade-era challenge, indie precision platformers, or skill-driven action games, Sacred Stones offers an engaging journey that feels both nostalgic and fresh. CFK Co., Ltd. delivers a focused, confident love letter to a genre that continues to thrive because of games like this—experiences built on passion, craftsmanship, and the belief that great gameplay never goes out of style. Rating: 7/10
생각보다 쉬운데 생각보다 어려워요. 대충 보니까 3시간 하면서 반정도 깬 거 같아요 뒤가 난이도가 더 어렵다면 8-9시간은 충분히 뽑을 컨텐츠라고 생각됩니다.
Насыщенный и увлекательный экшен!.нет..вы получите лишь боль в пятой точке..капхэд нервно курит в сторонке..
