Do NOT trade the Polar Star for the Machine Gun; Save it for the ultimate weapon upgrade. Also, Blood Stained Sanctuary is Nightmare Fuel...one of the hardest sections I've ever played in gaming. 10/10 indie game, the blueprint for what a video game SHOULD be. Blows Hollow Knight out the water.
i played the wii version when i was little, never got past the first area it's a beautiful game and everyone should play it

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE: THIS REVIEW IS IRRELEVANT, PLAY IT PLAY IT PLAY IT PLAY THE GAME THEY FIXED IT THEY FIXED ALL THE STUPID GARBAGE except the hard mode. they wont ever fix that lol. BUT STILL BUY IT BUY IT THEY FINALLY UPDATED THE GAME THIS IS THE DEFINITIVE VERSION BUY IT NOW [below this point is the original review I made] Unironically the worst hard mode ever put into a game I have played, and I personally try to play games at the hardest, or at least the 2nd to hardest difficulty. I have been playing this game ever since it had a demo on wiiware, and it became my favorite of all time and still is after well after 14 years. However, the hard mode is just abysmal and if you dont care about achievements, never pick it. It's not even me having a skill issue, i literally beat the hard mode with the mimiga mask equipped and i got all the achievements in general. Don't 100% achievements this, at most just do the hard mode if you want to and walk away. I have been talking trash on this games hard mode, but its still my favorite game of all time, so of course i recommend it lmao. It doesn't have the actual cool features of the nintendo switch version though, like more playable character models and cutscene skip. This lowkey is a cruddy port, not gonna lie, but I love this game too much to rate it negatively. Just my advice to whoever reads this is just get the normal game for free, lol
one of the first and best games I've played during my childhood on the wii. Cave Story is amazing and i will never forget about it.
Bloodstained Sanctuary took 12 years off my lifespan
O jogo é muito bom, porém é melhor baixar a versão original que é de graça e tem tradução PT-BR. Algo que esse port nem tem além que o criador original nem ganha um centavo se quer vindo desse port capenga (só comprei pra ri) OBSERVAÇÃO!!! O jogo atualizou e obteve mais conteúdos extras e adições. Se tornando bem superior do que antes e agora ficou mais "digno" de custar esse valor enfadonho!!!
This is my favorite game of all time. I make it a point to play through it every year.
Regardless what I think of the platformer this is (so far it seems okay) slight edit, I got a little further but ultimately failed to find what was so raved about this game so long ago, the pointless looping in the same areas with the same enemies is dull, I got to a point where it felt like the story was hitting a peak but theirs still 50 odd achievements implying I'm only a third the way there, original point still stands, it's even more of a reason to go for the legal freeware version and avoid this publisher. I'm not recommending this version of the game (the original is available elsewhere) after finding out what a nasty piece of work the publisher is by all accounts, sadly I found out too late (rather disappointed that Edmund continues to work with them), regardless of "amends" they try to make, it didn't take til 2020 for him to find out bullying employees stealing their work and racist antisemitic comments are not okay. A publisher to avoid in future.
I love this game, I first played it through the psp emulator from the homebrew section years back. I was really excited when I found out it was on steam! The graphics look awesome and the music takes me back :)
Es un excelente juego, le he dedicado horas de mi vida y sin duda vale la pena... Pero que no tenga una traduccion al español es algo que merma la experiencia... Antes habia un parche hecho por fanaticos, pero ahora por la actualizacion no es posible de instalar sin que se rompa todo el juego, una disculpa pero tengo que mostrar mi descontento de una forma en que puedan verlo... Espero que al menos consideren darle una traduccion al español o algun otro idioma.
