this game is good. cheap fun. more of a 90% positive on steam. if you like simple and unique metroidvanias this game pulls it off. games like transiruby, cat maze, rebel transmute, momodora, and some others come to mind. like pheonotopia awakening. this game is right up that alley. and does it well imo. some of the music is gas. some of it is ehh. but overall love the unique snowy vibe of this game. feels like the perfect metroidvania to hold me over until castlevania, bloodstained, castle in the darkness 2, and others like crowsworn
洞窟物語的な。 特に進む場所へのヒントはなく、ゲート開けたり新しいアクションのアンロックで「そういやあそこ行けるようになってるはずだな」をひたすら繰り返す感じ。 テレポーターやドアの出入りがそこそこあり、マップのつながりがわかりにくい部分があるが、それ以外は探索については結構楽かも。 戦闘面ではだいぶ敵の攻撃力が高かったり、即死トラップにちょっと足踏み外して当たって死亡数が加算されて行ってしまうので、RTAやノーデス縛りしたい人にはかなり厳しいかもしれない。

《LarsGadiel》是一款极为复古的像素风格类银河战士恶魔城游戏,这款游戏据官方说是一款FC打造却未能发售的游戏《Xenon Valkyrie》的前传作品,如今已全新的姿态登录PC平台。 游戏是为FC平台量身打造的,从它的画面就可以看出来,FC作为8位主机,新性能有限,所有色彩上与现在的游戏相比就单调许多,《LarsGadiel》的色彩也是如此,看看起来还是很不错的。不仅如此,游戏的地图也是分块加载的,还有CRT的那种刷新滤镜。 游戏的战斗部分就非常浅显易懂,没有复杂的连段派生,只有按下攻击就挥剑,除了BOSS以外的敌人也基本没有什么攻击手段,就是对你进行碰撞。但是有些怪被你攻击以后会跳起来,然后碰到你,需要防范一下。 然后游戏的武器是有着等级之分的,而且是按武器来的,使用该武器击杀敌人可以获得经验,武器升级之后造成的伤害会提高。但是,武器的伤害不是固定固定,是有着一个范围的,比如2-6,你攻击造成的伤害就在这个范围内随机。而且当你获得一把新武器之后,需要重新升级。不过游戏整体的战斗难度都不高,BOSS也好打,狠狠贪刀,还有恢复瓶可以回血。 游戏的引导较弱,玩家需要自己摸索去哪,当你发现一扇门打不开时,就知道不是往这走,要去找对应的开关了。不过在路上会遇到NPC用语言提醒你,但不是那么明显就是了。 游戏的跳跃部分说实话有点难受,主要有两点,第一点,跳跃的距离有时候不好把控,尤其是奔跑再跳跃,我不懂这个为何要把攻击和奔跑放在一个键上,第二点就是游戏的陷阱是即死的,碰到就死,游玩时大部分死亡都是因为陷阱而死。 《LarsGadiel》是一款复古的类银河战士恶魔城游戏,画面复古,战斗也挺复古的,但是也有些现代化的功能,比如随时可用的回血瓶和传送功能。 [quote]关注「[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45580968] 月の赏 [/url]」[/quote] [u][b] 月揽千游,一赏知味 [/b][/u]
Yes the game has bugs, yes there are some things that you have to get used to. That aside I think this is a solid game that knows its a game. It's not complicated to beat as long as you keep in mind the entire idea of Locks and keys across some places in the map. The Touted NES metroidvania is right in terms of feel and nostalgia. If we're talking Literally, no it's not an NES metroidvania c'mon... You knew that coming in. Give it a play! Otherwise read this stupid wall of text. PROS * So from start to end I think it should be well paced if you follow the path that is laid by the developer. * It's a bite sized adventure maybe two or three sessions from a casual standpoint * You eventually hit critical mass and are able to start cleaving and clearing the map quite fast * A lot of stage design that winds back in on itself to give a single checkpoint extra value * I'm not sure if it's intended but there is a Rhythm to attacking. If you mash your damage actually goes down. Questionable * both player scaling and enemy scaling is probably fine but I don't LOVE the idea of Full Random damage based on 1 and max level. I mean it works and creates averages but it feels weird * Wonky Physics; I'm not sure if this is intended or just something they haven't properly figured out. I will say though they did a decent job designing around it. Because of that you can sequence break... I finished the game with half the items and half of all health powerups.... Then proceeded to backtrack and clear everything out. * Instadeath - Yes this game has instadeath and I personally think that's fine but I know a large amount of players will be against it. My biggest gripe is how long it takes back to get into gameplay after dying. * Your new weapons aren't instant power or function upgrades - This is basically used for balancing. i found the "Super missiles" really early and they were exactly the same as normal just they also erase "green" blocks too. It makes finding power ups less exciting * [Spoiler] There's an item that requires 0 deaths... and statue that allegedly clears deaths. It could just be a flag for all I know but it's not good to have the threat of having to start over for a single item [/Spoiler] Bugs * Uhhh The game will freeze and hitch on death/respawn. I don't know what it is exactly but it seemed to stabilize after obtaining a certain amount of gear. It could be that it's failing to get ammo or a weapon if the player doesn't have it unlocked yet * Saving feels hit or miss Like I can save the game and then exit and I didn't know if that would actually save. I feel like it's good 80% chance your save is fine.... but that 20% is a bit nerve wracking.
闪退何意味
Great game at the beginning with good balance of challenge and exploration, but after when 85% of map was opened, the game have big jump in difficulty and became annoying. Anyway if you are skilled platformer gamer you can try it, anyway this game is cheap and have great retro aesthetics.
Its a tough game to review.... Overall the game is really good, but I echo another reviewers comments about towards the end of the game the insta death spikes just becoming obnoxious. Overall on the balance of things I would say it is probably just a positive game.
Excellent old school metroidvania. Memorable NES chiptunes. You'll have to use your memory for backtracking, as there is a map but no map markers. No gamepad button remapping but there are 3 presets at least. If Cave Story or Momodora is your jam, you'll certainly like this.
Want to get an early thumbs up for the dev. This is a solid old school metroidvania. Not too tough and boss patterns are easy enough (early on) but deaths will happen from carelessness. Ran great on my Deck Oled without needing to fiddle with anything.
Como buen metroid, juego divertido y a veces tan frustrante que te pasas 1 minuto pulsando el botón del salto porque según tu cerebro hiciste los pasos en sus tiempos y el personaje decidió no saltar, spoiler, esto es un metroid, no es el personaje, son tus manos... Juego retro que te hace disfrutar y cabrearte a partes iguales, si os mola este estilo rollo Hollow knight, blasphemous, o el propio Castlevania, este juego es 100% recomendable para vosotros
