GetsuFumaDen: Undying Moon Reviews

great game

GOOD.

difficult to get started, but super fun once you begin to learn the game.

i got this cuz it was a roguelite and i liked the art style. though it goes at a slow pace, so if you cant do that then look somewhere else. i enjoyed it tho

Basically Japanese Dead Cells. Breathtaking visual and art style. Better with controller.

As of December 18th 2024, I have mixed feelings about this one and I'll explain why. It's not a bad game but some game design poor choices and some rather unsatisfying moves of the character ruins it. As much as the art and artistic direction of the game is great, as much the rest of the game is average at best. The fights are messy because there is not much lights and effects, when you have several ennemies, you won't see if they're attacking you, it just flashes and it's really hard to visually know if you're going to get it or not. In that kind of game, that's a real problem. Movement are a bit sluggish, double jumps sometimes failed, same with changing weapons, drinking potions etc... Lots of actions feels slow and clumsy. The progression is really badly designed as well. Sometimes you'll prefer to stop a run and go back to square one to not lose your upgrade character material rather than continuing the run and try to go the further as possible. Some upgrades need to be dropped from chest/ennemies as well, making it just a plain pain. Graphics are really nice, musics are really good too even if there aren't enough different tracks. Chara & boss design are great too. Now, the other issue is what other games in the genre there is, when you compete with dead cells, scourge bringer, skul : the hero slayer, Getsufumaden feels really under those standards. Knowing all that you can buy or not the game which is clearly not a bad game but if you played the games I mention earlier I doubt you'll enjoy anything besides art in this game.
