Dandara: Trials of Fear Edition Reviews

dont play tales of kenzera: zau, play this!

This game is awesome! Played through it a few times and I always recommend this if anyone wants a metroidvania recommendation.

This game is probably a 6/10. The platforming feels like a puzzle game, so even if the movement is innovative, it's not entertaining. Worth playing for some, but my time is too little

If it weren't for the terrible combat system (you have to load every shot beforehand, plus the game can't decide if it wants to be slow or fast paced) and the horrible spamming of enemies in some places, this would be a really great game..

Really fun Metroidvania. The art style is fresh, and the boss fights are pretty awesome. The movement system in this game is really cool, and makes movement itself a puzzle, which is really unique. Unfortunately, as the game goes on, a lot of the enemies and areas get more tedious and annoying to fight. A lot of the time these enemies would have been fine in a normal platformer, but due to the unique movement system end up feeling unintentionally difficult both due to the often janky auto-aim, and just the overall feeling of having too many plates spinning at once. Thankfully though, there's a built in "cheats," menu that let me cheese the last boss & mini-boss, because I'd probably just shelve the game before suffering through fighting them "the right way." All in all though, fun game, beautiful art, great music, would totally recommend.

Probably the most unique platformer I have ever played. The control snaps to the closest platform, making platforming quick, snappy, and intuitive. The combat is maybe a little too easy, save [spoiler] the secret final boss (excellent boss BTW). [/spoiler] The story is OK, but works well with the environment to produce some pretty good immersion. There are a good amount of secrets and the upgrade system is really good. Overall a good game worth its price tag.

Wonderful game that introduced me to an incredible historical figure. High difficulty, had to turn on extra flags and at some points the cheat mode respawn at start of room. A good challenge and worth perserverance. Secret final boss is an absolutely incredible fight that took me many attempts.
