Yumori Forest

[b] Yumori Forest [/b] can be a decent roguelite around $5, but it lacks the variety to justify its $10 price tag. The game has limited visibility which changed depending on how much health you have left. I personally found its "fog of war" very atmospheric, although it can be somewhat frustrating when enemies hit you from blind spots. Yumori is only 40MB so it obviously has a minimalistic art and sound design. I like the look of the game but the levels tend to get repetitive due to the lack of visual variety. The combat is extremely basic. You get one sword attack, dash, super attack, and projectile. Also, you can bow to the enemies after defeating them which recovers some of your HP (I thought it was a very cute mechanic). Between each level, you can spend your currency on one of four stats that increase basic attributes such as speed, damage, stamina and life. While in the main menu, you can also unlock permanent bonuses and a few other trinkets. Overall, the game does not have enough complexity that I want to see in a $10 game, although the developer could fix that with some minor updates. [h1] Pros: [/h1] + charming pixel art + tight movement and interesting use of vision range + you can unlock some trinkets and colors for blood + "story mode" with bosses & endless mode + 3 leaderboards (2 of them are kind of silly though) [h1] Cons: [/h1] - needs more RPG elements / more decision making - the stages are too repetitive - no controller support [b] Overall Thoughts: 7/10 [/b] I don't mind the gameplay but I do want to see more power-ups and decision making. Having something like "pick one of three powers" would go a long way here. Also, I want to see more variety when it comes to level design. Yumori Forest is a bit overpriced for what it is.

Well it's not easy

[h1]お辞儀の大事さがわかるゲーム[/h1] マーカーを頼りにランタンを探し、立ちふさがる敵を斬り倒し、お辞儀をし、エリアの全てのランタンに明かりを灯したら次のエリアに進む、という見下ろし型アクションゲーム [b]特徴[/b] [list] [*]普通の斬撃に加え剣を投げそこに転移して切るというどこぞの王の剣のような特殊アクション [*]敵を無傷で倒し続けると攻撃力と機動力が大幅に上がるシステム [*]主人公とカーソルと明かりの灯されたランタンの周辺以外は暗闇に包まれていると言う事 [*]敵の撃破後にお辞儀をすることでダメージによって奪われた平静を取り戻す [*]ある程度進めば強力なボスもいる [*]死亡時に溜まるポイントを使いshopで永久アップグレードが購入可能 難易度はかなり高めで敵の隙が少なく無敵のローリングを結構な頻度で使用し、攻撃を当てるのも一苦労 それぞれの体力も高めで多数が遠距離と近距離から同時に襲ってくる事も多いためダッシュなどのアクションを活用して敵の動きを読まないと数面も持たない 視界と体力が連動しており一度攻撃を受けるとそのまま一方的に押されやすい 難点としては難易度の高さとボスの硬さと森特有の視界の悪さ、見えない木の裏側から遠距離攻撃を喰らいそのままやられるという事が結構あった、あとスクショを撮る事ができない あと黒猫がちょこちょこついてきてかわいい

Игра заставляет задуматься о том, насколько сложной, простой в плане геймплея и затягивающей одновременно она может быть. По сути, это очередной Roguelike, но со своей довольно прекрасной атмосферой загадочного сказочного леса, будь это параллельный мир или же рай со своей темной стороной. Игра достаточно хардкорна, не будет с вами нянчиться, только резня, только движение. Игрой более чем доволен

The bare visuals with bright pink blood is beautiful. As the lantern keeper it's your job to ignite the lanterns and light up the forest. However, there's a gang trying to stop you. Starting off the combat is tricky since you don't know what the enemies do. But as you learn it becomes much easier to expect their movements. They always do the same thing based on the enemy type. Meaning Yumori Forest lands [i]close[/i] to the "Git Gud" line of thinking. Keep in mind, you are fighting the darkness too. At least a little bit. Meeting enemies out in the open where the forest is darkest is suicide. Not being able to see enemies wind up their attack animations makes it difficult. Such as when the spear enemies attack in their line. If they start in a dark area it can seem like they come out of no where. Especially since your zone of light shrinks as your health drops. Yumori Forest is great! The visuals and tight controls make it a ton of fun to play. I really enjoyed it.

Quick Score: 4/5 Notes: Relatively short and simple action/arcade game. Normal mode is a decent challenge and can be completed on average in around 3 hours probably. Hard mode is pretty brutal and a pretty insane step up in difficulty from normal.

Low Key Wish more people played this game since its really fun, solid 5/7

Yes! I've been eyeing this game for a while and I'm glad I finally went for it. This game is brutal and cool and slick and rough in all the right ways. This is really something special, and I feel like I've barely scratched the surface. I'm looking forward to learning more.

Yumori Forest is a great little gem of a game. Great artsytle, a combat system both fun and challenging, and it's own identity. The overall amount of content is relatively small, so the $10 price tag may be a bit high for some, but it scratched a similar itch to Hyper Light Drifter and was made by one dude, so I think it's well worth supporting
