    A title that summarize proven mechanics and that works most of time properly. Funny and varied in its offer during more that 10 hours, it´s recommended for Metroidvania genre fans if they can forgive and forget some little technical flaws. It deserves a try.

    An interesting proposal that uses the best of many genres but forgets to exceed it's influences. Its main virtue is its history, full of narrative depth.

    A strong debut featuring a fun concept and great visuals so I look forward to what else Yanim has on the horizon.

    Red Goddess a great experience. Utilising strong emotions such as joy, fear, and anger could have been done with far less elegance than this, and the act of using them all to investigate and recapture lost memories is a worthy, enjoyable experience.

    Many developers would like to enter the gaming industry the way Yanim Studio did with Red Goddess: Inner World. It is a platforming, 2-D game that, although it has some issues, it is entertaining. Also, its artistic aspect shows that there is life beyond "pixel art".

    Red Goddess is a game that some will enjoy, and others will hate. Make sure you understand it's a metroidvania style game with flaws, but interesting enough for a certain audience.

    It deserved more dedication in terms of polishing, but it's still a good option for people looking for another Metroidvania style videogame.

    Red Goddess: Inner World is a metroidvania with some nice ideas and a lot of glitches and game design problems.

    Red Goddess: Inner World can be enjoyable, but the infuriating one hit kill platforming, long load times and difficulty spikes ruin the experience.

    Red Goddess has beautiful visuals and an interesting rage and fear transformation system. It had potential, but sadly, a great game is buried under a pile of problems.

    Red Goddess: Inner World is kind of a mess technically, and that just drags down the experience.

    It could have been a solid platforming experience with a flashy art design. But in the end the disappointment over the technical shortcomings weighs like a heavy burden on the goddess’ shoulder.

    The later platforming sequences are frustratingly difficult, the load times are excruciatingly protracted, the combat is sloppy, and sometimes the game just breaks. Jumping up walls and across crevices can be fun, but that's not nearly enough when everything else is such a chore to play.

    It is impossible for me to recommend this game to any paying consumers not looking to perform some charity work.
