    It’s something that really captured my attention, on a daily basis. It has such an appealing allure and such a great story to playthrough. I honestly loved the art, the combat, and the huge bosses, literally huge! It’s just one of those games that really will leave a lasting impression and provide nothing but joy.

    I didn't expect to love GetsuFumaDen: Undying Moon as much as I did. As a revival of an old game that not many folks are aware of, it does an excellent job of offering a modern and challenging roguelike experience. I hope to see many more games like this.

    Challenging, rewarding, gorgeous and culturally authentic, GetsuFumaDen is one of the most enjoyable roguelikes I’ve played. Mechanically it doesn’t do much to challenge or reinvent the formula, but it streamlines it beautifully. Meanwhile, it offers a vivid and detailed, classical take on Japanese art styles and the Hyakki Yagyō storytelling tradition. As a starting point for learning more about both these things, you couldn’t ask for something more inspired.

    If you want to suffer in the mythological Japanese hell, this game simply offers what you were looking for. It is very hard and visually impressive, but only recommended for the most dedicated gamers. [Recommended]

Considering Konami doesn’t have a great reputation at the moment with new entries in their properties, I was expecting a beautiful mess. Thankfully, I was only half right. Not only is the game stunning, but it also feels like the new Getsu Fuma game I’ve always wanted. The lack of story may be a slight disappointment, but I know I will be playing this for years to come. I really hope Konami continue supporting the game with additional stages and characters, as it really deserves it."

Fuma ha una interessante stranezza, riesce a sentirsi fluttuante e pesante allo stesso tempo. Questo gioco ha tutte le buone caratteristiche di un classico “RogueVania”. Il comparto sonoro merita una menzione d’onore, infatti è di alto livello e include temi classici della tradizione giapponese. Sono stati utilizzati degli strumenti antichi come lo shamisen e il tamburo taiko. Per gli amanti del genere e per chi ha voglia di divertirsi a suon di katane, mazze ecc è un titolo interessante.… Full Review »
