    Great artstyle and animation, but all and all barely more than a wish-dot-com clone of Blasphemous (which does everything this game does 100 times better). Some movement, mechanics, and menuing could have been streamlined, and the experience overall seems to lack a bit of polish. Finally, not being able to remap the controls is quite inconvenient for a game that requires tight gameplay.Great artstyle and animation, but all and all barely more than a wish-dot-com clone of Blasphemous (which does everything this game does 100 times better).

    Overall the game feels like an unpolish copy of Blasphemous, go play that one instead.    … Expand

    Ähnlich dem Soulslike Blasphemous. Kommt aber nicht ganz dran. Der Style ist ein wenig "schlechter" meiner Meinung nach. Auch das Kampf- und Erkundungssystem ist nicht so ausgeklügelt wie im "original". Aber dennoch ein nettes Spiel. Wie so häufig. Immer wieder gerne im Gamepass gezockt :).

    画风不是很喜欢，怪物单一，游戏性和升级曲线不很合理。难度上对很多玩家不算友好，动作上太靠近类魂，没有银河城类的快感，地图上设计贴近银河城类，整体尚可。剧情谜语太多了，对于游戏的驱动力不友好，推进起来会感觉乏味枯燥。对于单单喜欢银河城类的玩家来说，不推荐。

    Black Mermaid understood the ideas that made the 2D Soulslike genre successful and added new mechanics that reflect its own identity. If it didn't have flaws like story being too messy and combat having balance issues, it could have made its mark among the best examples of the genre.

    Moonscars is a good debut by Black Mermaid with some unique ideas and missed potential. The gameplay is fun and engaging but some mechanics feel a little unbalanced and in some cases can even forget about them and still finish the game. The story is well written, especially the dialogues but the lore and character building lacks enough depth to feel close to them. Overall the story and art style of the game is forgettable and this made the sound editing and music of the game lose their power and therefore feel shallow.

    Moonscars lacks the depth you would want from an Metroidvania title in its exploration and character building, but manages to deliver as a hardcore Soulsborne game.
