Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight

« A fantastic game. I've played a lot of games that emulate the design of Castlevania to varying degrees of success, but few that do this good a job of engaging with the theme 's that underpin that series. In doing so, Momodora carves its own special niche within the Metroidvania world. »

« Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight ticks all the boxes. It is a game with bags and bags of charm and the animation is wonderful to look at. With excellent weighty combat and some particularly memorable bosses, every aspect of the game feels crafted and tailored to near perfection. Whilst the short running time and 2D graphics will put some people off this is a game which I can easily recommend. »

« Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight is a triumphant release, capturing all the nostalgic wonder of 8-bit platforming within a very unique shell. Gloomy, challenging, and only occasionally unfair, Momodora is a fantastic adventure with a fun story and lots of secrets to uncover. »

« Regardless of my handful of complaints, the fact is that Momodora grabbed me and never let go. From start to finish, I was in love with the world, the combat, the easter eggs, and nearly everything in between. »

« Quotation forthcoming. »

« Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight is the ideal mix of old and new. The visuals and 2D platforming scream ’80s NES, but the detail that went into the pixel art and the attack combos mixed with fluid animation give this title just enough of a modern feel so it doesn’t feel dated. Fans of Metroidvanias and old adventure games owe it to themselves to check out Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight. »

« Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight won't light the action platformer world on fire or usurp the greats of the genre like Castlevania, but it's got a lot of heart. I don't consider myself a complitionist, nor am I particularly good at this sort of game, but there is something about Momodora's bleak atmosphere that kept drawing me back to it. It's a strong example of how great art direction and solid game design can come together to make well-trodden paths feel fresh. »

« Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight is an excellent game. Instead of attempting to innovate, the game instead focuses on delivering a polished adventure with satisfying combat, an interesting world to explore, and lore that can naturally be uncovered by the player. There are loads of indie Metroidvanias out there, but Momodora is one that’s absolutely worth your time. »

« I have no idea if the people who give ratings to this game are just trolling when they give it positive ratings but this game is terrible and i played all kind of roguelike and Metroidvania games like Blasphemous, Dead Cells, Hollow Knight and Hades this game Momodora Reverie Under the Moonlight feels like a 10 year old kid made it on a game developer program made for kids it really is just a terrible game everything from the movement of the hero to the combat is really bad »

« Prós: - Jogabilidade - Direção de arte - Level design - Trilha sonora Contras: - Dificuldade, seu maior inimigo serão os espinhos que dão Hit-Ko. - Pouca diversidade de bosses e facilmente derrotados. - A progressão não é satisfatória, você ganha alguns recursos mas nada que altere muito o gameplay de inicio como outros jogos do gênero fazem. Conclusão : é um bom game mas nada excepcional, da pra zerar numa **** e é bem divertido, pode demorar de 5 a 7 hrs pra finalizar a campanha. »

« At first, Momodora RUTM may seem like a linear Metroid game with somewhat stiff controls but is until you clear the tutorial area that this game truly starts to shine. The game is roughly 6 hours and you barely feel them, once you enter the main area, the map is for you to explore at your own pace and way, once you enter an area there is some lore and NPCs to encounter and rapidly face a boss, it is fast and that is one of the strengths of this game, it doesn't waste its or your time. The world is charming and sad, merge that with a simple but beautiful art style and music and you have a solid game. As far as gameplay goes, it is simple but effective, you only have one weapon and one combo but you have to dodge a lot in order to evade attacks, which can be very punishing, so the challenge is good, at least in normal difficulty. The story is told in a similar fashion as the likes of Dark Souls and Bloodborne and it's pretty effective, although the sad mood of this game is at times accompanied by some silly and charming moments, so it's a little lighthearted at times, a welcomed thing. They were certain moments which I won't spoil, but I didn't expect to be this effective, particularly with one of the bosses, it was outstanding, speaking of bosses, they can be challenging but at times you can cheat a little with the equipment you get and broke the game if only by moments, is not that bad but it feels a little safer than it should. I can't recommend Momodora 4(?) enough, its developers deserve a lot of praise and a lot of money, I can only imagine what these guys can do if they only have the budget. »

« Although it seems to be like a good Castlevania clone, the game is awful. Don't be fooled by the good marks. The best Thing was the sad Music which is really rarely played. So I can't give it more than 5 Points, sorry. »

« - Difficulty is just right. - Game play is solid. - Word looks great. - Music is also great i felt it really added to the feel of the game. all in all i would definitely recommend. »

« Pretty good Metroidvania game. I love the design, the gameplay is great, combining close combat, archery and dodging, and the normal difficulty is rather hard, which is nice. Exploration is cool and boss fights are really satisfying. The bad side is the soundtrack. Music is rare and unfortunately not memorable. In the same genre, i would suggest you Chronicles of Teddy, which is a slightly better game in my opinion. »
