Nightmare Boy

I want to like this game but so far I am hitting some major sticking points that make this game incredibly difficult to recommend. First the controls feel incredibly inconsistent. Sometimes double/triple jump just don't trigger. You can be spamming your jump button and have no response from the game. This includes attacks either sometimes not working at all or just not connecting with enemies. Wall grab is incredibly inconsistent when jumping off a wall. Sometimes you jump short distances, sometimes long. I thought I was holding a direction wrong on the d-pad but that turned out to not make any difference. It felt random. The little creatures that the game establishes early on that you should not kill are everywhere and can be killed by just about anything you do. One of the most aggravating things is sometimes enemies will just stand on a group of them or these things will hide behind a chest which you need to attack to open. This means there are points where you pretty much have to damage boost through enemies or avoid opening chests if you want to avoid incidentally killing these things. If I am going for a run through without killing any of these things the game should not make it so difficult to avoid them or so easy to kill them. I think so far I have only encountered boss/save rooms where these things are not just slapped all over the place. (It would be great if you could make the choice early to kill or avoid them, That way it allows for players to choose which path to take in a play-through instead of just hoping you don't accidentally kill them and never notice) Bosses can range from aggravating to leaving me confused. The clockwork giant skeleton is a great example. If you are on the right side of the room the hitbox for it's wave attack is larger than if you are on the left side of the room. It is also a boss where sometimes touching it can damage you and other times not with no real indicator as to why. This is incredibly confusing and makes the game extremely difficult to figure out if the bosses do not play by consistent rules. Visually the game looks interesting, but the forced scan lines make this game headache inducing to play for long periods. The ability to turn off the forced scan lines would be hugely appreciated. Saves costing gems is fine at first but when the save cost tends to ramp up faster than gem intake it seems to encourage farming/grinding for gems which feels less rewarding and more like a cheap tactic to increase play time. Having cost for saves ramp up with area might be a better system to give for more natural pacing of the price increases. As it is now if I run into a few tough areas and save a few too many times I'll just be farming between every save. The fanfare for receiving items is overly long and makes receiving items just dread inducing. Anytime I have received an upgrade its pretty much the game's way of saying "You're sitting here for another 30 seconds to a minute" Cut scenes cannot be skipped and should you need to restart the game(For instance in cases where you accidentally kill one of those little creatures) you'll find yourself waiting for multiple minutes to slog through some of them over and over again. A shop keeper that has vital items for progression can be locked out entirely if you don't lie to him. If there is no alternative location for these items as other reviewers have pointed out then there should be some way to get the shop keeper to sell to you eventually (Maybe at a higher price or open the shop via a quest line). At the price I paid for this I cannot be too mad, but I am glad I did not pay full price for this game in it's current state.

play it with trainer, metroidvania style, good game, but difficult.

He de confesar que cuando empecé a jugar a Nightmare Boy tuve la sensación de estar ante un juego de calidad técnica baja, con un personaje difícil de manejar y, por este motivo, con una dificultad muy alta. Sin embargo y, por suerte, me equivocaba. Es cierto que en un principio me pareció gráficamente muy amateur. Con dibujos que cumplían pero lejos de una estética profesional. Con el paso de las horas, sin embargo, la gran variedad de escenarios, enemigos, magias y habilidades me acabaron por mostrar que esa estética se había buscado de manera premeditada y que los diseños estaban hechos con mucho cariño. Sin duda algo mejorables pero a buen nivel durante toda la aventura y sin desentonar en ningún momento. La música (y los efectos de sonido) están a la altura de cualquier gran juego. Pegadiza y totalmente acorde con un juego de este estilo. Excelente en este apartado. La jugabilidad, dado lo complicado que se me antojaba durante la primera hora de juego el manejo del personaje y la sensación de escaso control del mismo pensé que sería un lastre insalvable. Con el paso de las horas, sin embargo, me hice perfectamente con el control del personaje y, a medida que ganaba habilidades, me di cuenta que todo se hacía un poco más sencillo. La dificultad es alta, pero no desesperante si sabes lo que debes hacer y cómo hacerlo en cada momento. Al final, sabiendo el orden correcto, podrás recorrer el extenso mapa y enfrentarte a sus 10 bosses con ciertas garantías. Conseguir todos los logros es un reto importante, pero no imposible para aquellos que tengan experiencia en juegos de plataformas, y alargará la vida del título y su rejugabilidad. Destacar algunas conversaciones durante la partida y la historia en general, bastante original y con ciertos toques de humor que le sientan muy bien. Al final, me alegro de haberle dado una oportunidad a este juego. No es un imprescindible, pero ha conseguido que mi interés haya ido 'in crescendo' durante toda la aventura y un título me se me antojaba de escasa calidad y a medio terminar, acabó siendo un juego bien hecho y con una historia original y totalmente cerrada. Sin duda, recomendable. Nota: 7,5/10

I wanted to like this game, but the controls are awful. It feels like you are playing an Ice level the whole time, I got as far as the actual Ice level and quit because it was unplayable.

Die Kamera Führung und das heftige Bildschirm zucken macht einen echt wahnsinnig... Und abschalten kann man das auch nicht sonst wäre ja alles in Ordnung gewesen. aber so: direkt refunded.

慈善包喜加一默认好评系列 我还没玩够10分钟就拿了好几个新能力 两个咒语了 没有地图是游戏的特色

start out ok, intriguing story. control is not tight but bearable. but man the backtracking is horrendous. also, the hero runs sometimes too fast for the screen to catch up, resulting in unfair hits... all in all, not recommened.

Recuerdo que los dibujos estaban bien, pero al mismo tiempo tantos neones me acababan mareando.
