    El juego esta muy bonito, tiene buenas mecánicas y todo perooo esta muy mal (especialmente para una consola portátil) que no tenga checkpoinst y no guarde su progresso totalmente a cada boss muerto, es re aburrido pasar la primera fase una y otra vez para seguir avanzando...

    Beh cosa dire… GetsuFumaDen: Undying Moon mi piace, ha uno stile artistico che nell’insieme funziona, è divertente e abbastanza coinvolgente. 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 eBeh cosa dire… GetsuFumaDen: Undying Moon mi piace, ha uno stile artistico che nell’insieme funziona, è divertente e abbastanza coinvolgente. 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.… Expand

    "Overall, I’m pleasantly surprised by how GetsuFumaDen: Undying Moon turned out.

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."

    GetsuFumaDen: Undying Moon may be pretty to look at and enjoyable enough to play, but the snail's pace of its upgrade system flies counter to the appeal of roguelikes. Without more streamlined growth and acquisition, the incentive to dive back in for another run takes a massive hit. Barring a balance update, it'll remain a textbook case of "slow close, yet so far." [Issue #59 – May/June 2022, p. 21]

    I desperately want Undying Moon to be a linear, level-based adventure where I can see all the levels and fight all the bosses without enduring the tedious rigmarole that roguelites require. Keep the randomized level layouts! Keep the randomized paths and boss encounters if you have to, but just let me play your beautiful game without all these roadblocks. Eventually, I just got sick of Undying Moon. It was more frustrating than compelling, in part because it does so much right, but its wings are clipped right out the gate by its grind-heavy, roguelite trappings. There are better roguelites out there (Binding of Isaac and Dead Cells, for example), but I’m sorry to say none of them look nearly as amazing as Undying Moon.

    After a few content updates, GetsuFumaDen: Undying Moon has the potential to be an essential in the genre. Right now, it still feels like an early access game and one that has annoying technical issues on Nintendo Switch. Its biggest draw is the aesthetic and combat, but it needs to be polished and tweaked in its current state to be an easy recommendation when you have much better games in the genre on Nintendo Switch priced similarly.
