    Un juego con mecánicas de SuperNes en pleno 2023. Todo es un despropósito obsoleto, vago y aburrido. El control es de lo peor de la década, no responde bien ni se siente cómodo. El sistema de combate es el de Aladin de 1994, torpe y desfasado.

    A todo esto le sumamos unos enemigos que te matan de 3 golpes, daño por contacto (repito, en 2023) respawn a 6 km y una cámara terrorífica, y nos    Un juego con mecánicas de SuperNes en pleno 2023.

    A todo esto le sumamos unos enemigos que te matan de 3 golpes, daño por contacto (repito, en 2023) respawn a 6 km y una cámara terrorífica, y nos queda un rembolso en 15 minutos.

    A este juego le falta un "Dash", pulir el manejo, equilibrar la dificultad, diferentes formas de enfoque (armas, magias, estilos, etc) entre otras cosas, pero visto lo incapaces que son los desarrolladores, lo mejor es darle un abrazo y dejar que se marche para no volver.

    Pd: Las criticas positivas son un fraude clarisimo.    … Expand

    The game is horrible. Combat is horrible, movement is horrible, the game sucks! Do not buy it! The dev's don't care. They screwed their backers big time.

    Aside from some decent presentation, Curse of the Sea Rats doesn't do much to innovate the crowded metroidvania genre but it's a solid example of the genre and provides a degree of fun to go with some of the frustration.

    Curse of the Sea Rats is disappointing. It’s a pretty bland Metroidvania. It has a unique visual style, but its gameplay completely relies on its multiplayer option to hide its shortcomings. The game also needs a bit more polish. I was immediately very excited when I booted up the game, but I quickly soured. If the visual style wasn’t so interesting, and there wasn’t a multiplayer option the score would be a lot lower. Only play Curse of the Sea rats if you love the idea of a simple 4 player Metroidvania.

    Curse of the Sea Rats benefits a lot from its nice looking cartoon graphics, the well done voice acting and by staying true to the Metroidvania genre at least in most aspects. There are also a lot of optional secrets to find with many references to game classics like Monkey Island, Worms or The Legend of Zelda. The major weak spot is the combat system, that largely fails of being satisfying and well balanced.
