A wonderful metroidvania with some really clever level and character design! The developers crafted an odd but charming world that is really worth to check out. It is very much an underappreciated little gem - yes, it has some flaws but I think the overall experience is worth it. Let us support our indie games and developers, they're doing great things out here!
great metroidvania !
Recommended BUT... this is an actual hot mess of a game. Game glitches frequently, some mechanics aren't explained, map is ridiculous and combat is held together with duct tape. There's barely any music, the menus suck and the game decided to remove all my healing potency upgrades just because. That said, this has a lot of charm. And it sounds like I should give this a thumbs down but I'd be lying if I said I didn't have fun with this. If you're willing to put up with enormous amounts of jank then this is a fairly unique metroidvania that has some interesting ideas and passion behind it. I liked all the npcs, I liked the art direction, the sewers and the dungeons. Buy on deep sale if you're curious.

Начало бодрое, но по итогу скатилось всё в д*очильню с кривым управлением. Рывок назад это очень неудобно, задержки в управлении это капец
Very Bri'tish with its tone and artstyle—I have a knack for finding these types of games, apparently. Its differentiator as a metroidvania is shifting between foreground and background "levels" instead of merely sidescrolling. Unfortunately, the game gets to a certain point with its cludgy movements and mechanics that turning off the damage in the accessibility settings is the only enjoyable way to play it.
The games atmosphere is what drew me in before anything else. Once you do start the game you will be taken into a world of such mystery and gloom that it only draws you more into the game play. This game reminds me of movies from Tim Burton and just overpowers in the sounds, graphics and world exploration. The multidimensional 2D to 3D layout is super interesting as you go into the back of the map to progress through layers of each biome. I really enjoyed the platforming and the adventure and loved the story as well. There is even romance in the game if you really pay attention to all the lore within the game and each NPC story is interesting to discover.
I fell in love with the town of Rainybrook in Venture to the Vile's first few minutes. I love the quaintness of the town, its peculiar customs, and all of the odd characters clad in animal masks for inexplicable reasons (shoutout to Tilly Trout). This game is not perfect. It's got rough edges. But for me, the cozy-spooky vibes and the evocative setting were enough to propel me to the end of the game. Some additional pros/cons: Pros: [list] [*]The levels have height, width, AND depth which I think this game utilizes very well. Seeing items in the background in a parallel platforming plane truly awakened the collectathon-er in me [*]Tilly Trout (why do I like her so much) [*]An abundance of solid platforming puzzles and challenges [*]Tilly Trout (people will be so confused if they play the game) [*]Excellent environmental worldbuilding [*]Tilly Trout (she has like 2 lines. What is wrong with me?) [/list] Cons: [list] [*]The combat I would describe as "just good enough." I don't think it ever felt amazing, but it got the job done [*]Quests rewards were frequently underwhelming [/list]
A charming casual metroidvania. One of those that have fantastic presentation (setting, visuals, exploration, soundtrack - that kind of stuff), and simplistic, somewhat clunky gameplay mechanics (controls, traversal, combat). The former is definitely the main selling point here, the latter is doing its job well enough so that you don't drop the game out of frustration. Feels somewhat unfinished though, as the plot is borderline non-existent. It's an interesting setting and the prologue starts with a bang, but for the rest of the game there's below the absolute minimum happening story-wise, both during the main questline and in sidequests. This is [i]somewhat[/i] alleviated by the official comics DLC which reveals characters' backstories and sheds some extra light on the main events, but the DLC is not free so you have to pay extra for story bits that should've been a part of the game itself. Comics themselves are decent though. Still, i think the game is worth buying (at least on a sale) if the setting/aesthetics interests you, and you have a certain level of tolerance for janky gameplay mechanics.
还算可以的25.D横屏恶魔城游戏。打击感还行,难度也还行,因为支线很多,地图的探索性不错。自带作弊器 有两个结局结局的选择,一个找到朋友,一个彻底消灭厄运。找到朋友的前提是要收集所有的纸条。基本很多探索的地方需要有触须才能过去,不过强行二段跳,贴墙也可以去。 整体故事性也还行,一个少年的成长路。只是当你的朋友变成怪物的时候,她出现在你面前你会跑吗?
