    Curse of the Sea Rats is a 2D platformer adventure game in which you fight enemies and upgrade your abilities while searching for the evil pirate witch who turned your party into rats. Exploring new areas and defeating the witch’s crew is fun throughout the course of the game, and is definitely worth a play-through for those patient enough to deal with its difficulty.

    Curse of the Sea Rats is a good metroidvania game. Playing it solo is quite challenging, and playing it with up to three other friends in local mode is fun. While it's not a perfect game, it left us with a good taste thanks to a very original art style complemented by a somewhat basic but decent gameplay.

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 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.    … Full Review »

Long loading times between screens/rooms which is unacceptable. I was a backer and this kind of developer makes me decide this was my last kickstarter. They ignore the feedback. Extremely disappointing game and overall experience.… Full Review »

    Terrible controls, terrible combat, just a terrible game. You will not enjoy this, trust me. It's getting tons of negative reviews. Dev'sTerrible controls, terrible combat, just a terrible game. You will not enjoy this, trust me. It's getting tons of negative reviews. Dev's refuse to listen to feedback to improve game. They also have gone silent and will not give out promised keys to the game, or the code they send is a code that was already used. Overall a horrible experience!… Full Review »
