    I heard great things about the Momadora series, but this game is way too amateur for me to enjoy. Feeling very burned on my $20 purchase. Get Bloodstained instead if you want a good game in this genre.

    Minoria is such a disappointment following on from Momodora RutM. There's very little to say about Minoria for me: the game doesn't look that good, there's very little atmosphere, music is forgettable, and the gameplay is absolutely dreadful. 99% of encounters are won by just parrying until your opponent is dead, and the timing window on parrying is massive.

    This game was good fun with simple and fast combat and some decent exploration. I think I preferred Momadora's retro art style to this game's modern take, but the new style was engaging enough. It's a short experience for the price ( but to be honest, few games will probably ever have a Hollow Knight level of value in that respect), and I wished there was a bit more meat to the RPGThis game was good fun with simple and fast combat and some decent exploration.

I found that the weapon upgrades were useful but for the magic, I played and beat the game without using anything other than healing. Still, this is the type of Indie Metroidvania that I bought the Switch to enjoy. If you like Momadora, I think there's a decent chance you'll like this too.… Expand

    I wasn’t expecting much but I actually enjoyed Minoria. A short metroidvania with satisfying combat. The story is a bit generic but not bad. A fast travel system would be a welcome addition. Pretty solid game overall.

    Minoria is a metroidvania-type of game that encourages the player to explore and which benefits from having a good combat system. At the same time, it feels it could have gone much further in its ambition, and its rather short length and repetitive settings, a certain lack of orientation when it comes to the exploration, and the lack of attention dedicated to the other characters make this a game that doesn't clearly standout amid its peers, even if it gets part of the job right.

    If you look past the simplicity of combat and poor animations, there is a pretty high chance you'll get hooked on Minoria. Clash with deadly opponents turns into a dance with the Devil, as you outsmart and outplay armies of monsters with nothing but your reflexes. There's plenty to get disappointed on here, but if you dig deeper, there's a lot to like as well.

    Minoria is a title that fans of action games and metroidvania style will love. Despite its simplicity in some aspects it has an interesting story and excellent controls that make it a highly recommended adventure.
