Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider Reviews

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.

You know when a platforming game has tight controls and good boss fights and it's satisfying to play? This is the opposite of that feeling. Blazing Chrome was awesome, but this controls and plays like shit.
