Mortal Manor

This game is Amazing, period...So much content and variety it's insane, the amount of customization of your play style makes it hard to settle for one style and you'll find yourself changing your equipment often to suit the scenario, and the large number of weapons to find you will constantly have new favorites which can each be upgraded twice with weapon stat improvements as well as new moves specific to that weapon. If you enjoy metriodvanias then this is a must, and in many ways this game is more open ended than most of recent additions to the genra. You can play through the game taking which ever route you can and your not shoe-horned into one specific route, which many modern metroidvanias are guilty of, they often make you feel like it's an open world and you have choices but really it's just a false sense of freedom and your really just limited to following the path that the dev chooses for you, but not with this wonderful game. I'm not fond of writing reviews, however everyonce...

The stage's gimmicks included new platforming mechanics in tandem with the usual death spikes and bottomless pits, meaning that an error often sent you back to the...

Took me 40 hours according to Steam to complete this game. It definitely takes a lot of patience to get into since it can be frustrating in the beginning. It might even be worth playing on Easy at first. Once you do get into it though, there's a lot of fun to be had, and a lot to do. A huge world filled with secret areas and items, on top of multiple modes and endings kept me plenty busy. Plus the dev has been super responsive answering questions and issuing patches for issues myself and others have brought up in the forums. Definitely worth the asking price.

Mortal Manor is the game where I need to write my first review. It seems to be very unknown which is absolutely undeserved. In short: this game is incredibly good. Many metroidvania games lack of the urge to learn the map. Often you can simply rush through the levels (Hollow Knight), dont need to explore its secrets, ... But Mortal Manor reminds me very much of old Castlevania games although they are different types of metroidvania. In Mortal Manor your skill really grows during the game. It just feels fantastic to jump and run through the map after you have better equipment. + exploration + platforming mechanics + satisfying gameplay experience + music - rough beginning

This is an awesome game! A game that pays tribute and plays like a variety of games seen in the NES days. You can see references/inspiration from a variety of sources such as castlevania, metroid, ninja gaiden, faxanadu, iron sword, kid icarus and the like. Lots of classic concepts and tight controls that feel satisfying, especially some of the maneuvers you can pull off after you get the grappling hook. I think there is a steep difficulty curve in this game, even on easy the game is pretty unforgiving. This can lead to frustation but also immense satisfaction once you manage to clear a particular section. The graphics and use of backgrounds are well done and fit the overall theme nicely. The music and souds are good, but nothing amazing. They do the job without being annoying or grating but neither are they necessarily memorable or a melody you'll be whistling later. I recommend this to anyone who grew up with or enjoys retro rpg/platformers that have a high difficulty curve but also ...

OK! So this game is a metroidvania where the enemies are a bit harder (multiple hits), and you can equip 3 weapons at the same time. The graphics are nice, the sound is nice, the controls are nice, I really liked this game. Heres a video of me exploring the beginning of the game (I find a few secrets and gets some weapons and a relic) https://youtu.be/IDqVJJpdFBw

[i]---see where this game landed on my metroidvania tier list beneath this review!---[/i] You will die a lot mastering the game as you try to scrape out any kind of save-able progression. The game is very raw and not for the feint of heart. There is so much to explore and getting something accomplished feels extra rewarding due to the games difficulty. The music is abysmal and will irritate you. 20 second loops do not cut it in a video game. I got very engrossed in the game. The progression actually feels somewhat similar to Dark Souls, with its many branching paths, all of which will kill you. The game flow feels like a tale of 2 halves: The early game where you are dying a lot and feel very weak. And then the middle and later parts of the game where you'll be flying through these areas with multiple jumps and grappling hooks like a ninja. Mortal Manor has many flaws, which must be part of why it is such an obscure title. In order for this game to gain wider recognition, i...

Worth the dough esp. if you like metroidvanias. Underrated.

I'll start with a warning: this game is difficult, and it starts difficult. You're going to die in the first few rooms several times. You'll feel weak, slow and underpowered. You'll get frustrated. But stick with the game, it's not long before it really starts to open up. Once you start getting those relics, you'll find the movements are fluid and incredibly fun. Enemies are difficult, and the AI is aggressive. You can't just stand still and smack them around while taking multiple shots. You gotta dodge attacks, backflip over them, slide under them, back dash to give yourself time to get that last hit in before you die. The content in this game seems huge. Tons of relics, weapons, and consumables. In addition to the sheer amount of content, there's progression everywhere. Potions get stronger the higher your stats are (they heal/give % values, so they scale with you). Your character levels up, and even your weapons level with use, increasing their damage and sometimes granting special ...

A metroidvania full of content and challenge. I am a few hours in and am enjoying it quite a bit. The developer is actively pushing out patches and is responsive to user feedback.
