Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider Reviews

YES

Very roughly done and it's not even original. There's a contra boss in there and bunch of Megaman X concepts. You can feel your attacks are clunky and not really "free at will" at all. The only way for the devs to make this game harder is just messing with bunch of basic things such as, shorten your slashing range , give you very limited space and time to attack the bosses , shorten the bosses' reaction time and adding weird "stopping " to your character's direction changing. (You will encounter problems like keep slashing at the other direction instead of the boss or enemies that you want to aim at because of that weird "moment" ) Too expensive for such lousy programming and this remind me of other games a lot instead of playing a different game. Yep, it's just a "those great game's replacement" or something. This doesn't deserve the price.

What i've played of it so far seems really solid. Doesn't hold your hand, is a bit hard, but it's real video-gaming

9/10 Great game. Despite having more levels, Blazing Chrome is still better than this game. This is a really cool game and completely different genre to Blazing Chrome. I wish they hadn't put that defence item that lowers your end of level total rank though. I figured I didn't care about the rank and tried to max my character with it only to find out it sort of trivialised the game quite a bit. I beat the last level including the boss in just one try. With that item you can mostly tank every boss tbh. I don't think the item should even be in the game. A simple easy mode would have been better and I wouldn't have felt the need to have picked it. When you give me an item to pick it feels more like I'm min maxing rather than picking easy mode. Maybe if I had experienced the game without that item I would have enjoyed it more to have given it a 10/10, I don't know. I felt like the game was much easier over all anyway. A lot of sections are followed up straight away with hp drops. I didn't even need them half the time but they'd usually fill me up all the way to max. Despite this, a very cool game. I might go back and try to max the rank for every level.

This game is really REALLY good! It's pure strider-like action, with a somber yet still anime-like look, and it pull it off flalessly, the action is quick and frenetic, the ennemies and bosses are various, all is designed in sensical way, nothing feels cheap all while still giving a good fight, it's the complete package. the findable chips in level for equipable upgrade are a unecessary yet welcome addition, and even thought you do gain special weapons, i payed the whole game with the default ones and it worked well as such. I wish it was longer, but it have a good amount of levels, so when that's the only problem, it's definitely a good sign! For those that enjoy action platformer, this is a very easy recommendation!
