Jogo sensacional com fazia tempo que não ficava andado por um mapa so procurando coisas aleatorias, ele te pegar a parti da musica ate a gameplay mas também tem momentos em que você quer so fechar o jogo
Yet another masterpiece from Yacht Club. This game captures that retro essence perfectly, just like they had done before with Shovel Knight. It brings so many interesting mechanics from modern games into a wonderfully crafted retro world. The color palette fits the running gothic theme so well, everything lends itself to an absolutely phenomenal final product.

really struggle to come up with much to say about this one that hasn't already been said already; both good and bad. out with the good; the spritework is impeccable and I love the gbc aesthetic. the music's also probably the best in an indie release since the the original shovel knight and its extra campaigns and it's clear jake kaufman's talent hasn't waned in the slightest. gives toby fox a run for his money honestly. nox's bayou into septemburg into bone beach is probably the game as a whole at its best and is where the platforming, combat and exploration felt the most harmonious but my enjoyment unfortunately did not last as i will get into. i liked the final boss at least so I can at least say I finished it on a positive note as well. i typically like challenging games but much of this game's "challenge" only seems to come from its seemingly purposefully infuriating approach to level and enemy encounter design in the first and last thirds of the game in a way that feels distinctly soulslike (derogatory) as opposed to the top-down zelda it was advertising itself as. at its peak mina the hollower's flowstate is unmatched even by nintendo's 2d zelda offerings (the middle third of the game i previously mentioned) but at its worst - which is approximately 60% of the time - it's kind of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ miserable and i wish i was just playing link's awakening or hell even the oracle games instead. lots of flying enemies with erratic movement and attack patterns in a game whose combat and tools made available intentionally lack the capacity to effectively deal with hazards perpendicular to you (save for one very easily missable weapon upgrade which I only got to use for the final boss as i found it in my 100% completion cleanup). it's not necessarily Difficult, and death isn't very punishing after the first dungeon considering how easy it becomes to get back to your darksouls bloodstain analogue (largely by virtue of simply being granted more attempts to do so) before your Souls (they're bones in this game) are lost forever. at least i can thank yacht club games for making the mechanic less annoying than it usually is. I can't imagine it being intentional (though it is something dark souls is similarly characterised by) but the number of times i felt caught off guard by something i simply couldn't have anticipated or by lingering, wonky hitboxes had me feeling that very few of my deaths or instances of having been stunlocked to near death were actually my fault. the map is deceptively open-ended in that the game is actually kind of linear with an easily perceivable intended dungeon order and going off the beaten path has you quickly running into enemies that kill you in one or two hits. this is only compounded by the fact that there are very few (if any, depending on whether you even count them as such) upgrades that facilitate exploration or progression in the same way your typical zelda or metroid would. most of your trinkets and subweapons instead serve to enhance your combat capabilities, and then there's a few that give you something like a midair dash or extra movement speed which immediately emerge as the best option to keep on you at all times. you can get the drill early and i stuck with it the entire game. you should too. sometimes the game expects you to have a specific subweapon or subweapon/trinket combo to access a secret or visible collectible but more often than not, what you need is nowhere in sight. just feels like an incredibly odd design choice to Not make subweapons permanent upgrades that can be cycled between on the fly and instead evoke something reminiscent of Donkey Kong 64's character switching. sometimes this means going halfway across the map to throw away your drill for the fishing rod, or something else with infinitely less broad usefulness - only to come back and be rewarded to what amounts as, as is typical of most indie games that draw from dark souls nowadays: Souls. ever so rarely you'll get a trinket, and rarer still will it be of any use to you. all the health and pouch upgrades are just made available to you in the shop in ossex at the start of the game anyway and most of the time the trinkets you get feel like they exists only to fill a specific niche or get One specific collectible, though i'll concede it doesn't reach hollow knight levels of sidegrades and a lot of stuff *technically* has uses but is ultimately just suboptimal. maybe i wouldn't have had these issues if I found the battery buster sooner. as someone who loves shovelknight (specter of torment of especially) and finds themself both disillusioned by the state of zelda as a franchise and how dark souls has seeped its way into a lot of modern game design, i can't help but feel disappointed. maybe i should've tempered my expectations when they came out with that twitter promo talking about the game modifiers. shovel knight had them too but they felt far more like a silly gimmick as opposed to an accessibility toggle. didn't need to use them but maybe the people complaining about a potential lack of well-tuned difficulty were onto something. i'd still recommend this because it still manages to blow silksong out of the water lol
Mina the Hollower. FUNNY MOUSE. But so much to think about. Hustlers must play.
Some of the best 2d top down action-adventure gameplay around precise combat with agile Mina varied builds and tools great world and level design kickin music fantasic art and great story
This game is incredible. Play it.
игра была не интересной, может сюжет довольно хороший, но не хватает более динамичных стилей для боевки+ данная игра не стоит своих 800+р. Хотел сказать отдельное слово про головоломки и механикой данной игры, они сломаны, начальная сцена не сильно даёт понимания об игровой механике, пришлось вернуть деньги за игру, надеюсь отзыв будет +- вспомогательный
Long story short: This game is absolutely amazing! The art, music and sound effects are so good that nothing felt out of place! Highly recommend this game! Long story long: Just from the trailer and screenshots I've seen from this game, I was enticed to play this game since I am a HUGE sucker classic games and consoles, and this game nails the look and feel of playing a game on the GameBoy Color the whole way through. I was never disappointed, and I enjoyed mostly every minute of it! Why I say MOSTLY is because of the difficulty curve of the game. Most of the time the game was easy for me to play, but occasionally the game becomes extremely difficult often because enemies are stronger in certain regions compared to others. I will admit though that I actually went to the Astral Orrery (which is supposed to be one of the most difficult areas in the game) and made that the third region I completed rather than the last, and then every other region I visited felt very easy to beat. Therefore I will say that the inconsistent difficulty curve is because I beat most areas in the wrong order, which is my entirely fault. However, that also brings up one other thing I REALLY like about this game: unrestricted exploration. Once in a while, some rooms will be blocked off until you do something to have them removed, usually by progressing through the story, but then afterwards you are free to go anywhere to please, and the game will not stop you from trying (which is also how I was able to finish the Astral Orrery so early). Sometimes you need certain equipment to get to or get through certain parts of the map, but those kinds of equipment can be acquired by doing even more exploration. I also like how you can find and reach some rooms and areas just by being observant since there are a LOT of small spots you can find if you are paying attention to the walls and floors. The choice of weapons is also a VERY nice touch to the game as this allows you to choose your playstyle just before you are thrown to the world, and you can find more weapons later if you desire to try a different one rather than being stuck with one for the whole game. One more good thing about this game is that modifiers can also be applied to your game so that you can either enjoy the story without much difficulty or you can make it almost as, if not more challenging as Dark Souls. All in all, this is a FANTASTIC game, and I would recommend to anyone who loves the aesthetic of GameBoy games. funy mous is awsom, an it awsom bein funy mous. 9.5/10.
Tantissimi ostacoli,grafica in stile videogioco per Nes,assenza indicatori obiettivi che non fanno capire chiaramente dove andare;parecchie opzioni accessibilità,che permettono di ridurre maggiormente difficoltà;longevità buona;trama abbastanza brutta;valutazione 2 su 5.
[h1] UNA CARTA DE AMOR A LOS JUEGOS RETRO. [/h1] Se nota mucho la influencia de ciertos elementos de juegos antiguos pero con un toque moderno en su gameplay, es un muy buen homenaje a esa época y se nota el cariño en cada aspecto del juego. Hay variedad de armas que es lo típico de arma pesada, equilibrada y rápida y que sin duda hay una que recuerda muchísimo a Castlevania pero cada una con su jugabilidad única que cambia el ritmo y el estilo de juego, además que hay otras mas por ahi que puedes obtener. Incluso con ciertos elementos que recuerdan a Bloodborne. Hay una libertad de exploración muy grande, con varios caminos secundarios extensos y el juego en verdad tiene un buen diseño de niveles que recompensa si te vas a la zona secundaria aunque sea difícil. Incluso la interconexión entre ellos fue algo que me sorprendió bastante el como esta estructurado. Hay algo que me pareció extraño en principio y es que los ataques no se pueden hacer diagonalmente aunque mina si pueda moverse en esas direcciones y puede que sea algo que sea incomodo al principio pero después se entiende la razón por la que se hizo y es que hay un elemento que son los abalorios que son un tipo de herramientas únicas del juego con una buena cantidad de variantes. Da mucha variedad al gameplay al igual que los "amuletos". Los jefes son de lo mejor del juego, hay unos que son difíciles que da gusto y con un diseño bastante bien hecho con buenos patrones de ataque y aunque sean difíciles da mucho gusto cuando los matas. Al igual que los enemigos en general hay los típicos que son un dolor enfrentarlos. Gráficamente su estética bebe mucho del estilo de Game Boy pero aun que sea pixel gordo cuenta con un estilo de arte muy bueno con escenarios muy bien realizados con un pixel art excelente y mas en ciertos momentos "cinemáticos" que dejan ver el gran trabajo que se hizo en el pixel art. La historia esta bien pero si la sentí algo predecible, aunque si hay uno que otro personaje carismático pero fuera de eso siento que esta bien a secas. Y el soundtrack es espectacular con unos temazos que se quedaron en mi mente varias veces, tiene su toque retro cada tema pero me encantaron. En resumen; es un juego demandante con un mapa muy amplio y variado con mucho contenido. Muy recomendado si disfrutaste de juegos clásicos como Zelda hasta Dark souls. Da muchísimas horas de juego y es bastante rejugable y entretenido sacar los retos para ver todo los elementos de su gameplay. Aunque sean solo pixeles para algunos yo recomendaría a todo mundo jugar esta joya. Sin duda de los mejores Indie de este año, una verdadera sorpresa.
