    Curse of the Sea Rats has a familiar approach to gameplay, with platforming pushing exploration and combat that can be tricky but satisfying in victory. Players will die a lot but even boss fights are mostly fair as long as players are willing to observe and learn. The narrative offers a decent if not impressive scaffolding for the action. Metroidvania has become a very popular genre. Curse of the Sea Rats understands that and executes on its ideas well but with limited innovation.

    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.
