    Curse Of The Sea Rats earnestly tries to build upon the core ideas of a Metroidvania, and though it offers a lot for the player, it’s missing that final round of tuning and polish which would have let it shine amongst a crowded field.

    Unfortunately, Curse of the Sea Rats is mediocre or even bad in many of its areas, from its problematic combat system to the ugly 3D environments and level design that is just boring.

    Keyboard rebinding is AWFUL. You can't rebind all keys and some are hard locked and can't be set.

    TERRIBLE. Inexcusable in this time and age.

    For some reason some haters posted a bised 0 score review.

    Game lacks some combat improvements and having to go around the map clueless in the final part breaks the game flow.

    Overall is a good game, I don't think I will replay it with other characters though.
