    There's a lot to love about 8Doors: Arum's Afterlife Adventure, from its ease of platforming to exciting and varied combat. But the obnoxious boss battles eat away at any good feelings you have toward the game.

    Ultimately, while 8Doors: Arum’s Afterlife Adventure is a competent enough addition to the Metroidvania genre, with a decent story and acceptable gameplay, it doesn’t do enough with its potential to rub shoulders with the giants of the field. If you’re mad for these types of games, you can do much worse. However, if you’re only interested in something more unique, this probably isn’t interesting enough to do the job.

    In the sea of Metroidvania games as of lately, this one really stands out for me!

    - It has beautiful art style, hand drawn graphics.
    - Nice level of difficulty throughout the game.
    - Some bosses are really, really challenging and take time with increase in skill to defeat.
    - Controls are tight
    - Sound & music is nice, ambiental

    Still didn't finish the game, but I am having a really good time playing through it.

    Doesn't invent anything new for the genre, but from my perspective and taste, this is Metroidvania done right.

    As a comparison, it is much better game than Blasphemous, which has nice art, but the world, lore, and the game itself is generally boring and too much in your face with "though hath sinned" kind of vibe. It felt like a grind to just finish the game and never come back to it...    … Full Review »

I was unsure about it at first, but the more time I spend with it the more I enjoy it. The art is great, the music is captivating, and the gameplay is fluid and entertaining. Would definitely recommend. That being said, there are a couple difficulty spikes that may throw off more casual players. But as someone who likes a challenge, that only makes me appreciate this game more.… Full Review »
