    - Difficulty is just right.

    - Game play is solid.

    - Word looks great.

    - Music is also great i felt it really added to the feel of the game.

    all in all i would definitely recommend.

    Although it seems to be like a good Castlevania clone, the game is awful. Don't be fooled by the good marks. The best Thing was the sad Music which is really rarely played. So I can't give it more than 5 Points, sorry.

    Pretty good Metroidvania game. I love the design, the gameplay is great, combining close combat, archery and dodging, and the normal difficulty is rather hard, which is nice. Exploration is cool and boss fights are really satisfying.

    The bad side is the soundtrack. Music is rare and unfortunately not memorable. In the same genre, i would suggest you Chronicles of Teddy, which is a    Pretty good Metroidvania game.

    At first, Momodora RUTM may seem like a linear Metroid game with somewhat stiff controls but is until you clear the tutorial area that this game truly starts to shine.

    The game is roughly 6 hours and you barely feel them, once you enter the main area, the map is for you to explore at your own pace and way, once you enter an area there is some lore and NPCs to encounter and rapidly face a boss, it is fast and that is one of the strengths of this game, it doesn't waste its or your time. The world is charming and sad, merge that with a simple but beautiful art style and music and you have a solid game. As far as gameplay goes, it is simple but effective, you only have one weapon and one combo but you have to dodge a lot in order to evade attacks, which can be very punishing, so the challenge is good, at least in normal difficulty.

    The story is told in a similar fashion as the likes of Dark Souls and Bloodborne and it's pretty effective, although the sad mood of this game is at times accompanied by some silly and charming moments, so it's a little lighthearted at times, a welcomed thing. They were certain moments which I won't spoil, but I didn't expect to be this effective, particularly with one of the bosses, it was outstanding, speaking of bosses, they can be challenging but at times you can cheat a little with the equipment you get and broke the game if only by moments, is not that bad but it feels a little safer than it should.

    I can't recommend Momodora 4(?) enough, its developers deserve a lot of praise and a lot of money, I can only imagine what these guys can do if they only have the budget.    … Expand

    Prós:
    - Jogabilidade
    - Direção de arte - Level design - Trilha sonora Contras: - Dificuldade, seu maior inimigo serão os espinhos que dão Hit-Ko. - Pouca diversidade de bosses e facilmente derrotados. - A progressão não é satisfatória, você ganha alguns recursos mas nada que altere muito o gameplay de inicio como outros jogos do gênero fazem. Conclusão : é um bom game mas nada    Prós:
    - Jogabilidade

    Conclusão : é um bom game mas nada excepcional, da pra zerar numa tardezinha e é bem divertido, pode demorar de 5 a 7 hrs pra finalizar a campanha.    … Expand

    Even though I may have sounded a bit overly critical of Momodora:RUM over the course of this review, there is still a perfectly serviceable game here that will certainly find its audience. If you're the type of person who skips cutscenes and plays games at a decibel only a pigeon could appreciate, then I just might have the game for you. While the actual act of playing the game is a pleasure, it's kind of like building a sandcastle in the middle of a construction site; there's fun to be had, but the circumstances you find yourself in are less than ideal.

    Although it's short, Momodora: Reverie Under The Moonlight is solid. It hits the beats of a standard Metroidvania game perfectly, and while it doesn't add anything groundbreaking or new to the genre, it gives the player a great combat system to work with. Except for the lack of music in spots and some enemy blending due to the color palette, the presentation is solid, especially for fans of pixels. The level of difficulty on display can be hit-and-miss depending on your expectations, but otherwise, fans of side-scrolling adventure games will want to check out Momodora.

    Regardless of my handful of complaints, the fact is that Momodora grabbed me and never let go. From start to finish, I was in love with the world, the combat, the easter eggs, and nearly everything in between.
