Moonlight Traveler

It's not a metroidvania. English isn't available for the items. It's a souls-like in that the controls and enemies make the game hard in a janky sort of way. Also, no native gamepad support. It's free, but not worth your time.

First of all, I must say right away that this game has nothing to do with metroidvania, from the word at all. It's just a mix of 2d platformer and fighting game. So don't rely on tags. Secondly, I also have a question: "Did anyone test this game at all before the release?" There are just millions of bugs in it. Almost any problem leads to the fact that you start the game all over again.: - The second boss is a spider. With a 90% chance, he flies out of the left border of the screen and never returns. After that, the game freezes. Start over. - With a small chance, after entering the portal, your game crashes. Just for no reason. Start over. - Sudden death of the main character (apparently against the background of other bugs, NPC freezes, assistants, artifacts, which led to this case). You'll have to start over, too. Mobs are as passive as possible, not interesting. They do not have a target set for the main character, they live on their own, they can attack in the other direction, use attacks when the player is out of range. At the same time, the difficulty increases dramatically due to the boost in enemy characteristics. The game logic of mobs is violated: The shield-bearer is covered with a shield from the front, open from behind, but he is invulnerable as long as he holds a shield in front of him. Paradoxically, bosses can be as simple as possible, while once every 1000 attempts they show the same hidden attack that takes out all the HP. Some artifacts play the role of an active ability and a passive boost of characteristics. But half of them are just useless. It's the same with runes: a new ability or a stat boost, but not all work correctly. Half of the achievements are just the grinding of the game currency, which artificially stretches the time in the game. The last straw was a bug with these runes. Theoretically, you are buying a rune forever, and you can always put it on and take it off if you wish. In reality, clothed runes can be removed by themselves after the game, and if you try to put it on, then you will be charged the game currency for the amount for which you bought it initially, provided that you have enough money. Thus, the hourly grind of the currency simply disappears into oblivion.
