孙悟空大战机器金刚 / Sun Wukong VS Robot

-Very short, I nearly 100% the game in 80 minutes (missing 1 room and a couple upgrades apparently, not interested in running back through the rooms to try and find them) -The game starts off slightly difficult, but I became insanely overpowered about 15 minutes into the game once I got the shield and a couple health upgrades and then the game became almost impossible to die. Its possible that I just happened to pick the most overpowered abilities 1st by complete chance, so your experience may differ. But once I got the shield I literally just spammed it and ran at enemys and swung my sword till they died. -The bosses are all way too easy and simple, possibly because the shield trivializes them as much as it does the rest of the game. -The world and the level design is just overall very basic and boring. Almost looks like some of the rooms were randomly generated, but they weren't.

Sun Wukong vs Robot is a cute 8-bit style Metroidvania that is a little scrappy, but punches well above the weight it's 2 quid asking price would suggest. Is it up to the standards of Hollow Knight or Axiom Verge? Of course not, but it brings some surprisingly excellent art, animation and music to the party as well as some refined controls, and will entertain you for the two hours or so it'll take you to complete it. My biggest complaint with the game is that the xp system and the metroid elements actually step on each others toes - you can buy all the upgrades in a shop using xp, but the bosses will then drop those exact upgrades again. It's very strange, and due to the language barrier I'm not sure if I was missing something.

It's a good game for what it wants to be, which is a micrometroidvania with all the genres traits adequately executed (open-ended, upgrades that feel significant, good boss fights). Graphics are what would've have happened if the Gameboy was a mini NES at the time it was launched. I recommend anyone going in to go for at least a few of the upgrades that are sold before tackling the bosses, as some of the fights are significantly harder (and one of them definitely unwinnable) without some of them, and the game gives you little warning about it. A pretty solid little game, Doesn't do anything that others in the genre haven't, but entertaining at a price that's fair if you grab it during a sale.

花了差不多5小时通关了。 其中1小时花在想用ce修改器来借个10000经验买技能，但是，失败。没抓到EXP的数据。 先说说缺点：技能 没中文解释，需要猜，所以你需要买完才知道 技能是啥，导致试错成本很大。（也有可能是我对图形学不了解，很笨，不能理解是什么意思）我开荒是不看攻略和视频的。 如果你一开始的路上有很多小怪，而且你没后期的“宝葫芦”和“龟派气功”的能力，我劝你重新再找一条路，不然会像我一样很受苦。 还有打“风”这个BOSS时，要有二段跳和冲刺的能力，不然就是坐牢。那么能力哪里来呢？ 你得安静的刷2个2700经验。（我笨 不会CE修改，只能刷了，不过也挺快的，10分钟以内就搞定了） 当我打打第四个BOSS时，我获得了大部分能力，BOSS像个喽啰精英，开始简单。 瞬间打boss的紧张感，打过的成就感大打折扣。开始败笔。最后，玩家的体验感曲线直线下降。 整体上是一款及格的银河城游戏，值得推荐一玩。 流程很短，不知道为什么作者不再做下去了，完全可以延升剧情和地图，可惜了。

It's honestly not bad. I can't get over the controls for the dash upgrade though. Double-tapping forward to dash is an antiquated control scheme for a reason. I just dashed off a platform into lava when all I wanted to do was inch forward a couple of times to avoid a projectile.

Might be all right if a few QOL fixes were made. For instance, playing this with a controller and using the joystick is nigh impossible. Every left/right+jump you make is a down+Jump, which forces you through surfaces instead of towards targets. In a game that necessitates precision, this makes the game annoying. Not unplayable, but not any fun to deal with game design errors.

JUST ANOTHER MEDIOCRE RETRO METROIDVANIA Brought this game after hearing about in a "Hidden Gem" Video. Figured it would be at least worth the couple of dollars I paid for it. Nope. There are far better games than this for free. In most metroidvanias your character starts with a boring moveset that gets more interesting the more you play. In this game the boring moveset is never expanded. Your get subweapons, upgrades for them and health ups that's it. As such there's no backtracking and hardly any exploration. In fact this doesn't even feel like a metroidvania. It's a few bosses in an open map. The level and enemy designs are also boring. There's never any interesting platforming challenges and the enemies are placed haphazardly with no real thought. The Graphics are terrible. I'm someone who loves 8bit styled graphics but these are just ugly. The backgrounds are flat ugly colours and character sprites are just messes of pixels. Don't buy this! If you need a cheap game right now there are dozen's of better options even before a sale.

An extremely simple metroidvania. Nothing in the game stands out; the graphics are poor; the information given by the game is insufficient to understand what to do (e.g. what's the lightning for?); the enemy mechanics are very tedious.
