Super Gear Quest

First of all, credit to the devs for continuing to update the game and fix issues as they pop up. While some of the problems early on should absolutely have been addressed before launch (good controller support, in particular), I appreciate that they're trying to polish the product as they receive feedback. When an update broke the intro for a particular boss, I was able to reach out on the devs' discord and they pushed out a new update within an hour. Make no mistake: this is HEAVILY inspired by Cave Story. The graphics, music, platforming, gun styles, and level themes range from "reminiscent" to "nearly a direct copy," and this ends up being both good and bad. In some ways, "More Cave Story" is a good time, but at other times you can't help but think about how the original is better. As a metrodvania, the gameplay is solid, with plenty of secrets and collectables to seek out. The movement options that get introduced later in the game are legitimately fun and help keep things face-p...

Super Gear Quest wears it's inspirations on it's sleeve. If you liked Cave Story, you will appreciate this game. And, even if you aren't, it's an enjoyable metroidvania, with lovable characters and challenging game mechanics.

get out while you still can

Interesting gameplay and puzzle mechanics. This is not my typical game genre that I'm into, but I can say that anyone interested in this genre would likely enjoy it. I bought this game primarily to support my friend (the composer) and try it out. Awesome soundtrack by Stephan "ModalModule" Seguin. Clearly the soundtrack was inspired by Megaman, Valkyrie Profile, among many other games I know he played and loved growing up.

Honestly I feel bad for not giving this a recommendation, but I simply don't have a choice as if I were to be asked by someone if they should play this, the answer would simply be no. I really appreciate the dedication that the developer has shown when trying to improve this game but the problem is that at some point he's just going to have to accept that it's better to take all the lessons learned from making this game and use that knowledge to make a better game. Although this game is way better than Red Goblin Cursed forest, it is still designed the same way: via using the 3D unity engine as a canvas for a 2D game and just winging it. For comparison, imagine if you bought some lego and used that to make a wall that you then use for painting. The biggest problem with this game is that there is no intuitive way to tell whether a wall or something is passable or not as there seems to be no specific design the creator went with when choosing whether the character should pass through som...

It's a good metroidvania. Nice platforming, good comedic elements, and lots of weaponry.

After playing this game after buying it, this game is pretty good as a metroidvania game. The story is pretty good and enjoyable, all the bosses were fun and challenging especially the true final boss at the end of the game, and seeing other kewtian characters at post-game. Refighting the bosses that have a X form was even better to fight instead of the normal bosses. This game is a go to replayable for anyone who ownes it. Keep doing what your doing Dev. I can't wait for more updates from this game! :)

A very good game. Just all around good; good gameplay, good soundtrack, good story. Give the good people your money and buy the game.

Very good game, the difficulty is very good throughout and the harder difficulties feel very accomplishing to complete, specifically because it's fun to learn a boss's attack pattern to defeat it effectively! If you like a good challenge, I would recommend playing on brutal AFTER playing on normal, since the difficulty ramp up feels quite natural that way and still feel challenging throughout.

This game starts out pretty okay, but then you get the movement stuff and the game ramps up a LOT. I like it.
