The gorgeous pixel art and dark themes within Moonscars help make it an enjoyable action-platformer by new developer Black Mermaid.

That Moonscars is like so many other similar releases only serves to make its ability to differentiate itself and stand out that much more remarkable. A well accomplished title that is easily recommended to anyone with even a passing interest in the genre.

Moonscars is an intentionally bleak adventure in an unforgiving world, but players who seek a genuine challenge will certainly find it here.

Great game in the rough

Gameplay and visuals all are excellent. Some UI stuff can be polished. Otherwise a very good metroidvania style game. Kind of linear though.

Moonscars - a great little game

I will start with I have only put a few hours into this game but will leave an honest review of my experience so far. A very simple vania platformer that brings a nice narrative and a dark complex world together with decent music and pixel art visuals. The combat has a somewhat rougelike system for certain weapons and temporary upgrades/buffs which adds an extra layer where you get to try multiple styles or simply maintain your current one at the sacrifice of a few bonus health/ichor. The items and spells add a decent level of customisation and difficulty based on how you choose to play whether you want to preserve your character with defensive buffs or make it very glass cannon and be as evasive as possible but very easy to get killed, overall I would say this is a very enjoyable game and as I progress I'm hoping to see the difficulty scale exponentially to match the growth of the MC.
