The Dark Queen of Mortholme

This game has a fantastic premise, outstanding art, and decent music. The presentation is a solid A. However the dialogue and some of the mechanics hold it back, and while this may seem like nitpicks this game is short enough to where they're a large part of the game. For example the player adapting to abilities you've never done so if you happen to kill him twice with one of the opening moves and then want to try something new it just doesn't work. The dialogue is very VERY corny and impossible to take seriously even with the given setting, plus it veers into ludo-narrative dissonance territory where he's still trying to kill the boss he begins to pity as being trapped and ineffectual. Event with the price point it's hard to day 'you should buy this'. Wish I could give it a 5/10, a fine, or a meh, but reviews are binary. Maybe the dev can come back with something better with more experience because the spark is there.

A Great idea under the right price. it's Short, cheap and good.

Крепкая индюшка на вечер с интересной задумкой и приятной реализацией. Советую.

Short little game with a fresh spin on the concept of a boss fight. Wished it was longer or had a bit more depth in the combat. Felt pretty undercooked at the end.

Short, sharp and briefly thought-provoking game that doesn't overstay its welcome. It's a shame that the game ends before ever truly reaching some sort of catharsis beyond the growth of its main characters. A sequel or follow-up that expands on the base concept would be both interesting and welcome!

Bellissima storia ma è frustrante arrivare alla fine.

концепция прикольная, но контента даже для платины на час хватает(

Having played through it a few times, we can safely say this is well worth picking up. At full price if you can manage it. After each run we had to take a moment to sit back and reflect in how it made us feel. Wonderfully written and the gameplay is easy to pick up. Highly recommended.
