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

8/10
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.

Dense, heavy and raw (in the best way ).

I really loved the art direction that guides the player through a world where the hope is just a good memory.

Insanely mediocre

I dont know what I was expecting from a free amazon game, but this isn't it. It tries to be mysterious but in the end it just results to uninteresting an hard to understand lore/story. The game is very unforgiving - struggling on an area? You die 5 times and it turns on moon spite or whatever its called and makes random enemies unecessarily difficult. The game places its respawn points so far away from eachother its insane - I barely feel like doing anything in the area except run to my death spot from how repititive it is. It reminds me somewhat of Hollow Knight and I'm pretty sure its inspired by it. Its everything bad about Hollow Knight but with a satisfying combat system thats also a bit repititive inside. The fact that every character speaks in riddles gives you second hand embarassment from how terribly the game tries to execute its mysterious ominous atmosphere - would only recommend for a quick fun game you play now and then. If you're looking for something unique then this game is for you - except be ready for how badly the game does its unfair stupid features.
