Jan 20, 2021It doesn’t try or claim to be anything more than a basic Metroidvania-style platformer, and it delivers that. It’s just..it’s so basic, and so forgettable, it’s hard to feel very enthusiastic about anything here. If you want a game you can play for 2 hours, see everything it has to offer, and then never think about it again, Micetopia will deliver that, but it’s hard not to think that you should want a little more out of what you’re playing.

Dec 8, 2020Unfortunately, I couldn't find myself in a good flow with Micetopia. The potential is there for a simple, decent platformer but Rich is never fully equipped enough to feel handy in combat. Visually, it's well-made and has the occasional flourish but the gameplay doesn't offer me much excitement. Progression leads to some late-game grind and the level design does falter in giving you too much to do between checkpoints. On paper, it looks fine. In execution, it becomes clumsy and frustrating.
