Mystik Belle: Enchanted Edition

Очень хорошая игра, надеюсь разработчики и дальше будут радовать подобными продуктами , очень надеюсь на продолжение

Really liked it. Doesn't overstay.

An enjoyable, funny and cute metroidvania with a funky chiptune soundtrack, perfect for Halloween. All of the characters having unique dialogue on the various different items you can carry is an especially nice touch.

Mystik Belle is a metroidvania / side-scrolling adventure game created by pixel artist and solo developer darkfalzx. It is the story of the titular Belle, a student at the Hagmore Magic Academy, who is framed for ruining the Waplurgisnacht Brew on the night of a very important ritual and is charged with recovering the ingredients in order to make a new one. Right off the bat, this game is beautiful. You can really tell that the developer specializes in pixel art and animation as all of the sprites in the game look incredible and have extremely fluid animations. The backgrounds are fine on their own, however the lighting system gives them a great sense of depth with the lighting coming from windows and light sources within the room and dynamic shadows based on your relative position to the light sources. The only thing I didn't really care for were the bosses, but I don't think most people will have the same reaction. The fact is the bosses are made of multiple sprites moving together like Wolfteam used to do, which is a look I've never been a fan of. The non-humanoid bosses, like the spider, look fine doing this but the more humanoid ones like the Werewolf and the True Final Boss just look awkward to me. Not a gamebreaker or anything, but something I personally disliked. The gameplay is kind of a mixed bag. I liked the metroidvania elements fine enough, though I kind of prefer finding health upgrades around the map rather than the level-up system this game uses. I also kind of wish there were more attacks as just the fire and lightening spell for the whole game is a pretty limited arsenal for even a 3-5 hour game. The adventure game puzzles were alright and spiced things up for the most part. However, there were times when the game got unnecessarily obtuse towards the end. For example, there was a part where I needed to get acid and a container. I had several items which could serve as a container, but the game would only accept one particular item which is something you could find earlier in the game, but Belle refuses to take it for no reason and it's not something you would immediately think to use. There was a pool of boiling acid two rooms over from where you need to combine the items, but the game won't accept that acid. It wants a specific type of acid that I didn't even consider because it looked more like a background element than an interactible, and the room had so many hazards I wasn't focusing on it at all so I forgot about it completely. Plus, in an adventure game, you typically don't have much space to traverse if you missed an item or a puzzle step cause the areas are typically pretty condensed, but Mystik Belle being a metroidvania where what you need could be anywhere, even in an area you've already been to, kind of exacerbates the issue since you've have so much more distance to trek over. Thankfully most puzzles only require items, which are marked on the map, but for the instances like those above that don't follow the same rules the rest of the game does it can be a nightmare. Mystik Belle is a game that I enjoyed, but also wished for more. The mechanics are solid for what they are and I do love the attitude and the charm of the game. One thing I neglected to mention is that a number of characters have custom sprites based on their changing circumstances which is a level of work that you don't see often even in the best metroidvanias. However, the gameplay was pretty basic overall and I would have liked some more avenues of progression. Thankfully it seems this game seems to be getting a sequel in the form of Winter Belle although darkfalzx has gone silent as of late.

metroidvania super confuso e nada intuitivo, alem dos erros que crasham o jogo, geralmente é erro de som, desisto desse jogo

귀엽고 가벼움

Когда я увидел эту игру я очень влюбился в ее графическую составляющую. Когда я пошел искать информацию о ней, нашел сайт, где производитель выложил несколько кодов с раздачей этой игры. и мне удалось ее заполучитьь. Игра ништяк, в духе кирби старых, а стиль вообще изумительный

A pretty fun but short metroidvania The pixel art is amazing especially the way it uses shadows

고전감성이라 공략 없이는 막히는 구간들이 많지만 그래도 재밌는 캐주얼 메트로배니아 게임 설정 언어가 영어가 아니라면 "Thundercat is go!" 업적 달성 안되는 버그 있으니 주의
