Very fun! Would recommend playing Prodigal first (same devs, prequel, absolutely incredible game) to make sense of the lore bits.

This game is fast, fun, and amazing value for $7. Like dang.

SPOILER FREE REVIEW - Fantastic game. Great atmosphere, fun gameplay, and some challenging puzzles. A puzzle heavy game and some parts were difficult but this game was super enjoyable the entire way through.

Fantastic game. If you're a fan of Fire Emblem style games this is a must play. I saw this game on sale and in my recommendations soooo many times, and I really should have played it sooner. It is soooooooo good.

This game is super fun. Strong sense of style, good music, and an interesting world. Lots of collectibles and secrets which were cool to find.

Picked this up after playing Prodigal and I'm SO excited to play more games from Colorgrave in the future.

Absolutely incredible

100% yes to buy, even at full price. I got a solid 25 hours out of this game doing almost everything, which I didnt expect at ALL.

This is an old school zelda type game with dungeons and puzzles, and some of those puzzles were really hard.
There are lots of things to find and collect, little side stories to see develop and a natural feeling of exploration and progression.

The game does not hold your hand at all. There is 1 npc that can give you clues most stuff, but there are tons of post-game goodies to find which takes a healthy amount of exploration.

I did all everything in game aside from NG+ stuff. This game had me hooked once I started playing. This was a gem to find and play, I really really enjoyed it.

Note: This game is NOT a metroidvania. This is a 2d action platforming game. Spoilers will be marked.

Review update as of version 1.4 - Original launch review below.

Feels good to flip the review to thumbs up. Map looks MUCH better.
Would still like to see a way to view how many powerups you have/are missing.

Spells feel a LOT better. Gilded enemies feel good because of spell rebalancing.

Dark mirror changes are cool, the gameplay feels more fluid now because you dont get interrupted every checkpoint.

I like the change to how Moonhunger occurs. Doesn't lock people into a harder difficulty if they are already struggling.

Honestly feels like the devs fixed almost everything in my original review. Very pleased, great job!

Original review on launch:

=====
TL;DR - It's ok. I didn't particularly enjoy due to what I feel are balance and design issues and some soft-lock bugs.
=====

I beat my first playthrough completely on moonhunger, and I did not enjoy. I did a 2nd playthrough entirely on the gentle moon, and it was a bit more enjoyable.

Things I didn't like:
The map is awful. You cannot clearly see room/path borders so making sure you have explored thoroughly is hard because you need to have good memory as you cannot rely on the map. There are also limited powerups that you NEED (like damage) but there's no way to find/track them, or see how many you have.

Moonhunger feels overtuned
It's also a terrible negative feedback loop where if you die on the "easy" difficulty, you go to hard mode.
Because moonhunger boosted enemy stats spells felt like they were terrible. Cost is high, damage low. But you HAVE to use them on gilded enemies.
and because of the above, gilded enemies felt awful to fight, especially if you have to fight multiple and/or ravenous ones at the same time.

Secondary weapons. The whole secondary weapon system seems whack. A temporary weapon that you lose at checkpoints? It has a one time bonus you lose when you die? Whack.

Soft locks. I encountered a couple soft locks, most notably the final boss. He just stopped doing anything and I had to force quit.
Softlocked on an NPC who when I talked to them, no dialogue played and I had to force quit. Seemed to stop all progression for that npc too the moon door one

Parry spam.Game feels very very parry-spam heavy. Makes the combat feel shallow/repetitive.

Dopplegangers are maybe the thing I hated the most. They are super punishing with moonhunger on, and they spawncamp your body/respawn so it can be frustrating to recover bone powder, especially since they have spells you may not, the secondary weapon you just lost, AND THEY HEAL.

Things I did like:

Boss fights felt challenging and definitely where I noticed myself improving at the combat.
For better or worse, bosses seem to punish parrying so it broke up the normal feel of combat and made it more dodge-y.
Always a fan of charm/accessories/customization options, though I didn't like that some of the strong ones broke on death with limited supply.
Art style is cool

Finally, I personally enjoyed the demo and was quite looking forward to this game. Perhaps thinking it was a metroidvania misled me, because I love that genre of game. This game not having metroidvania elements was a bit disappointing, but changing my perception to it being an action-platformer I think is much more fair to the game.

Overall can't say I'd recommend, but I hope the devs can polish the game a little and keep making games, would like to see what they make next.

Very fun, good, and cool

Very enjoyable game. Short but well worth it imo. As a cat owner and lover this game was cute and fun.
A game like this is great if you are the type to enjoy taking it easy from time to time, just looking around and soaking it all in.

A few spoilers down below. If you want extra info check them out

What is the gameplay?
Exploration, on-rails platforming (aka you cant miss jumps), puzzle elements, light stealth mechanics.

On a more personal note, **NOT** gameplay spoilers, but for pet owners who may be sensitive

Potential triggers - loss, death
I lost one of my kitties a few months ago, she was 14. So this game made me cry at the very beginning and end. Aside from 2 specific moments I was able to enjoy cats doing cat things without any distress.

I never thought this type of game would appeal to me so much. After playing the Sevtech mod for Minecraft and interacting with similar systems, I discovered that yes, I do enjoy things like this.

This game is very relaxing and enjoyable. Half the time I play this game I'm just taken in by the music and environments. Your driving force is building, production, and refining your setups, but the surrounding nature is such a beautiful juxtaposition.

At the time of this review I'm just starting Tier 5, and have spent a great deal of time rebuilding my bases to better streamline my production and shipping of parts. I'm looking forward to what comes next in game, and in future updates.
