Moonfall Reviews

https://youtu.be/pktUrptYiKU As far as a 2D beat em up goes, Moonfall is... interesting. The graphics are in a hand drawn art style that I actually do like. They are well done and maintain the consistency needed. The core framework of the game is highly stable, with no bugs or framerate drops to be found. The overall gameplay is serviceable, but slow. The game's controls I found to be counter-intuitive and the game felt like I was fighting through treacle and were reasonably unresponsive. Also the english translation was poorly done and while it did end up creating some hilarious moments, it was distracting and sometimes led to my having to decipher what the intended phrase I was reading was supposed to say. It's a good enough game for $10, but did little to wow me. It wasn't bad, but just slightly above "Meh". 6/10

It looks very promising. Though, a lot of things needs to be worked on. Combat mechanics needs to be polished, maybe add stagger when block succeed? I recommend this game in advance, it's not ready yet obviously - but it has a lot of potential

A new era in the classic arcade game Golden Axe, but you have beautiful hand painted graphics, a Gothic industrial story, and RPG elements including 3 classes and character upgrades. The intro has you fending off "savages" who do not agree with your expanding empire due to a new magic element called "Lunarium". Each level will have you hacking and slashing away at these savages with giant swords and axes. The combat feels shallow and repetitive as there is not much varying degree of strategy when you button mash the attack key, but the 4 available abilities like the shield charge -- stunning opponents, or power strike -- hitting multiple enemies, help to change things up. You get to explore branching paths through multiple levels in 2 main environments, which felt lacking considering the scope of the story and world, but the lore and Gothic steam-punk vibes will push you to see whats around the next corner. Completing the campaign takes about 8 hours and I found the beautiful world of Terra Nihil is enticing enough to play with each class. Finding new weapons and armor with different stats helped mix up the repetitive combat and minor battle animations as enemies are stiff. The ending is open for the developers to continue this enchanting Gothic adventure.. and I sure hope they do because the detail of this world deserves to be expanded upon.

Its not bad. 2D side scroll RPG-ish type game. Nothing ground breaking but worth the $8 I paid for it. Its a fun time killer, which I suppose is the ultimate goal of these types of games.

Well, this game is hard. . . really hard. Dev's should pack extra Keyboard with game. Good example how to make good Indie game Pros: Graphic Fast Slashing game Tons of enemies trying enclose you Throw away mouse, you dont need it Cons: Bit confusing inventory use at start Time to time monster do not spawn and you cant continue journey (need go back to camp and start over)

I enjoyed playing this game, but there are more things which could be done better. I hope for next great games from these devs. PROS: [*] it's a side scrolling beat 'em up !! [*] big bosses [*] most of the graphics are really pretty painted [*] music is nice [*] game was made by slovak team :) CONS: [*] some strange sound FX and voices [*] map (I did not like it at all) [*] games is quite short [*] game can be completed even by chaotic running/slashing, there are very little harder passages [*] some really weird animations (for example the game ending) And the biggest CON is - There is [b]NO COOP MODE[/b] !!! Please do it !

Moonfall is pretty nice game with excellent graphics. Solid RPG system is implemented in hacks and slash beat em up style of the game. I tried all of classes and it was fun. Maybe a little longer scenarios or all the game would be great but for that money it was fun for me. The game is a little slower than other funny hack and slash but animations are amazing and music was awesome. There are lack of various exterior levels...not so many and generally color of them is for me like..still the same. I was surprised that there is no jumping in the game. Local coop is also missing although promised by the developer. Game would be nice to play with other players. After all I would recommend this game for its promising concept. A lot of things was promised by developers so we will see.

Moonfall is a surprisingly enjoyable 2D scoller hack n slash with weapons/power upgradability to help defeat adversaries + minor RPG elements. The games rare mix of Golden Axe + minimal RPG creates an involving, atmospheric game. On the normal mode which I have been playing on, the game was well balanced + not so difficult that progress was impeded progress signifficant time lengths. (remember to buy health potions) Graphics are great. Combat intuitive. Controls intuitive. Gameplay engaging. Music + sound terrific. The one flaw I could find in Moofall, so far, was the fact it is not really necessary to read much dialogue. You will still succeed simply by adventuring. I have not yet completed the game but find it interesting so will continue playing until I do. Overall, pleased with the purchase.

This game is something you would expect to fill your evening with a little bit of magic, darkness, skeletons and not so complicated plot line. The game itself is really good, the concept isn't anything new. Graphics are immersive, beautiful and the music is wonderful. You can choose from 3 classes (I have tried Elementalist so far), each one has something which I'd call a talent tree with like 4 basic spells + 5 passives which can be upgraded. The game is entertaining and gives you a little bit of that "old game" feeling while being graphically on a higher level. I am sure you will find it quite challenging, especially from the start until you get to Moonfall's mechanics. I encountered a few bugs - the last one actually prevents me from completing (the mechaboss doesn't spawn) so I at least have a reason to play it again, but I am sure devs are gonna fix these issues. It's just a matter of time for a game this young, so it doesn't really count on the rating -> Pros: + graphics + music + gameplay + enemy diversity Cons: - sometimes glitchy - a few bugs - poor plot line 8/10

Genre - Fantasy Steampunk 2D Scrolling Action I grew up in teh 80s when many games of this ilk were around. I used to love the old Golden Axe, Double Dragon and Barbarian games as examples. This game stays true to the age old fomula, but adds some character development and an inventory system for modern gamers. I have spent about 8 hours on the game trying out all the characters and completing once on easy mode wuth Shadow. It is a fun game and I feel I got my monies worth with one playthrough taking about 5 hours on easy. The characters are varied and the items/weapons allow you to adapt your style. The main enemies are split into three types; Tribal, Skeletal and Goblins. Each has there own boss, which I won't spoil here. They aren't that varied but it does feel like the enemies are changing as you progress. There are a few hazards to avoid or use against your enemies. There is also a mini-map with a few optional objectives thrown in. I found the game fun, and if you are an old gamer like me, the nostalgia factor should make it all the more enjoyable. At the moment it is single player only but I believe a co-op mode is in the works. This to me is the main thing missing from the current build. Although I hope they add more levels/characters at a later date depending on popularity.
