    Even if we feel that the Moonscars formula is not at its full potential, the Black Mermaid studio delivers here a solid and often quite ingenious action-RPG. Between mixing genres with a touch of rogue-lite; two-speed difficulty; good sensations in combat and beautiful artistic direction, there is really something going on, controller in hand. It is finally two or three inaccuracies, in terms of balancing and finishing, which pull Moonscars down. Regardless, it's always a pleasure to restart a game. A good pickaxe for fans of demanding action games.

    Maybe its just the Switch Version, but I am not gonna buy this on ps4 to give it another try..., Played about 10 hours. What a humongousMaybe its just the Switch Version, but I am not gonna buy this on ps4 to give it another try..., Played about 10 hours. What a humongous dissappointment!! Besides the nice Music and atmospheric graphics (which become pain in the ass as soon as more than 2 enemies come on stage, because within the bustle you dont see very good whats actually going on during fights ) this is an absolute buggy mess. Framedrops constantly... Sometimes Freezes for half a second which causes death after death. I had an issue that my tomb stood directly in place with the "Bonfire"... So guess what? I could not catch it up anymore. WTF??? The absolute joke is the parry system, it seems totally rng!!! To me it feels Like as soon as more than one enemy comes in it is just not working properly. One Enemy works fine, from two enemies on its total rng... Sometimes it works sometimes it don't. Too dumb that a Lot of fighting mechanics in this game base on parrying. Good Potential, but absolutely bad execution. Not Worth my time. Maybe with Patch 3.1 I give it another try. By now, this Game is a No Go to me!!! Full Review »

    Full of bugs, performance issues and crashes. Balancing issues, badly designed mechanics that do not make the game hard but instead tediousFull of bugs, performance issues and crashes. Balancing issues, badly designed mechanics that do not make the game hard but instead tedious and frustrating. Awful map and UI design in general. It just feels extremely amateur, which is a shame because the trailers looked so promising Full Review »
