The Messenger

[h1] ストーリーは良いが操作性ゲーム性は本当にだめ [/h1] 序盤は簡単なのに中盤から非常に難しくなります。 とにかく落下ギミックが多すぎる。落ちたら一発アウトなのに復帰のギミックが非常にうざい。 死にゲーで復帰のレスポンスが悪いのは、本当にストレスがたまります。 また、操作性も難あり。 途中から落下軽減アイテムが手に入りますが、コレを使用するのにジャンプボタン後→ジャンプボタンが必要となります。 かつ空中で再度ジャンプするには攻撃ヒット後→再度ジャンプボタンとなるため、落下軽減と再ジャンプを繰り返すギミックがたくさん出てきます。 ミスったら落下死となるギミックが非常に多いのに、煩雑な操作を要求されて、復帰に時間が取られるという悪循環が生まれます。 ゲームの内容は結構好みで面白いのに、このせいでプレイしていて爽快感がありません。 また中盤からのボスも、戦っていて面白くないものが増えてきます。 例に上げると雲の上で戦うドラゴンですが、足場を崩してくる、こちらの攻撃を当てるチャンスが少ない、上記のジャンプを要求されるなど、ストレスがたまりました。 難しくするのであれば、もう少しプレイヤーに寄り添ってください。 端的に言って面白くありません。 ■全クリできたので追記 実績アイテムの別手裏剣まで取得してクリアしたので追記です。 やはり操作が良くないです。ストーリー、世界観、ギミックは面白いですが操作性に難がありすぎて普通の人にはおすすめできません。 とにかく落下死が多すぎる上に、復帰が本当にめんどくさい。

I saw a video to try this game. I don't often play 8-bit games (and 16-bit), but I like 2D games. This game is peak 2D platform/metroidvania. I enjoyed nearly every minute of it. The Level Design: Starts out guiding you well. Makes the layout work towards you improving your skills with the mechanics. Prepares you well for the late game. Platform parts make you feel fast and powerful. The backtracking felt new when the 2nd half of the story gave more mechanics to work with. Story: Saw other people give it a 7/10 and maybe that makes sense. I enjoyed the humor and interaction between the main character and the shopkeeper (but I did skip lots of text when I was in a rush). Difficulty: The seals to find were a nice little challenge on the side of trails. Variety of enemies: Bosses are diverse and just enough of a challenge for a 1st playthrough. The enemies around the land match the play style needed to platform around. Once I got through the second half of the game, it felt like the enemies kept repeating (which makes sense while backtracking, but it somehow felt like they were just the same 3 monsters looping. Just a feeling though). Achievements: Enjoyable to complete them all. Nothing too crazy. One or two playthroughs are enough. One improvement to make: I noticed when I was jumping from place to place that I would sometimes mess up and a specific ledge would just happen to be there so I wouldn't lose. This happened around 12 or more times. I recommend adding a hard mode or something where those specific ledges are gone or have some enemies added to make some specific spots more challenging to get through. (But don't change the base game for newcomers). Overall: This game needs more attention and to get more DLC. I enjoyed the one it got.

Great game! The platforming, the graphics, the controls, all aspects of this game is great. Highly recommend!

Un indie muy divertido con una premisa muy interesante. Es un juego con muy buen guion y que hace de la nostalgia un punto muy importante para el desarrollo del juego.

excellent action-platformer i wish i'd played sooner. if you are at all interested in 2D platformers you should absolutely check this out (preferably without watching the trailer!). it's very fun, goofy, challenging at times but (usually) fair. other standout features and observations: - 10/10 peppy chiptune soundtrack - i've been listening to the ost for years and years before i played the game - a clever alternative to the "lose your money on death" trope - many ways to platform off of enemies (mark of a good platformer) - i made a point of getting all the collectibles which is how i know a game is for me - only like 75% of the jokes land imo but the humor is consistently charming - i love how the developers' love for games comes out so strongly - the plot is kind of incoherent but that's literally fine, this is a game about the vibes also: really excellent gameplay twists. gotta love a game that shifts its genre (er, subgenre) halfway through!

Great

The Messenger é um jogo sensacional, cheio de humor e com uma jogabilidade incrível! O nível de desafio é alto, exigindo saltos extremamente precisos e um uso afiado dos seus equipamentos, o que com certeza vai te fazer passar raiva em alguns momentos. Mas a sensação de superar cada obstáculo faz cada xingamento valer a pena!
