Mable & The Wood is a Metroidvania where you hunt down massive beasts and, upon destroying them, shapeshift into their forms in order to use their powers to save or destroy the world. Players with less violent intent can find secret paths to complete Mable without killing anything, including bosses.
Unlike most Metroidvanias Mable does not allow you to run, jump and kill on your own. Instead, you must use non-human forms to attack creatures and traverse through difficult challenges.
The strange cult that resurrected you speak of an ancient prophecy that says you will hunt down the great beasts, take their shape, and use their powers to save this dying world. But what if they're wrong? The prophecy is old, and words lose their meaning with time...
When the world is falling apart around you, what will you do? In Mable & The Wood, it's up to you to make that choice. You don't have to kill anyone, but you might kill everyone.
Will you banish the darkness, or will you become it?
COMBAT IS MOVEMENT
The way you move is deadly. Dragging a sword that is too heavy to lift, Mable shape-shifts into a fairy and leaves it where she stood. Recall the sword to your hand once again to slice through any enemies in your path.
You can only maintain your non-human form for a limited time, but killing creatures extends your power.
HUNT THE GREAT BEASTS AND TAKE THEIR SHAPE
Defeat the great beasts to take their shape and transform into a mole, medusa, spider and more...
Find and defeat the other bosses to unlock even more shapes!
EXPLORE A DYING WORLD
The game takes place in a dark fantasy world, with each area making up part of a large, complex map that's packed full of all kinds of secrets for you to discover.
Uncover secrets that you can use to find alternative, non-combat routes through the world and discover a different side to the story (and multiple endings!)
DISCOVER WHO YOU REALLY ARE
Discover a rich story and define your own role in it. Will you become the saviour everyone's trying to convince you to be, or will your actions lead to the world literally tearing itself apart?
Features
Your choices matter - The cult wants you to kill everything, but it's up to you whether or not you listen to them or find your own path and unlock the multiple endings
A rich story with a diverse cast of characters who have their own take on this whole 'end of the world' thing
Combat is movement and movement is combat - Mable can't lift her magical sword, so she has to use it in unique ways to move through the world
A large and varied fantasy world, brought to life with state-of-the-art pixel technology and a beautiful original soundtrack
Multiple endings, different routes to take through the world and secrets to discover
Нет, ну правда, некоторые моменты вызывают только вопрос: И как это проходить? особенно с базовой энергией... Самое главное по крайней мере мне не ясно на реакцию только полагаться, или время выжидать нужно... Не знаю, сколько времени я на неё потрачу, но как мне кажется Dark Devotion со своими 50-тью часами и рядом валяться не будет, а ведь там финального босса я так и не завалил. Но как ни странно, когда надо выплеснуть часть негативных эмоций игра подходит. А когда сотню-другую раз помираешь на одном и том-же месте вообще начинаешь мелко истерично хохотать...
I got this game for free in one of the giveaways of GOG, and after reading most of the reviews here i decided to finish the game to see why were there so many negative ones.
While i rate this game higher than the other reviews here (3.5/5), i have to say that their criticism is completely valid, and while i enjoyed and had a fun time with the game i can't fully recommend it without warning that the negative aspects are real and should be considered when buying the game, i suggest you watch some of the video reviews and gameplay that exists of this game before deciding.
Playing this game gave me solid fun, and at the end i was both pleasantly and unpleasantly surprised. Pleasantly because of the different transformations and how fun it was to use most of them to move; because of the quantity and variety of content available; because of the graphics, art style and music which were charming. Unpleasantly because at the end of the day it has a significant amount of shortcomings which make this game feel both still in development and amateurish in design.
There can be some errors in the hit detection of the floor and walls, specially with some specific transformations and in specific circumstances, i have been teleported in some occasions, and in general sometimes it can feel like its not adequate enough for the kind of challenge that the player is put up to. The biggest issue however is the design itself of the game, level design, game mechanics and the progression. I feel the punishment for getting hit an enemy is too great in terms of the currency, just a few seconds and you can lose it all, there are very few invincibility frames and sometimes its hard to hit your enemies, there was a general disorientation as to where to go after the first boss, most players don't pass the first hour of the game.
I liked this game, the achievements show the ambition and effort put in by the team that made this game, but it needs more polish for me to play more times.
This game packs lots of creative ideas--any one of which might be worthy a game concept--into a lovely sprite-filled package. The problem, as I am personally aware, is that the breadth of the game is too great for the developer.
Polish and exposition are lacking. Controls aren't tight, and gameplay mechanics are frustrating when they aren't charming.
Charm is something this game has. I love how bold the game designer is. How the ideas and storytelling dare to do what they are doing, even if they fall flat. Branching paths, interesting twists, and truly expansive level design (though not skillfully executed) are just a few features on a long list. I only wish they could have delivered it in a few more years, when they had time to flesh them out.
Try this for the concepts, but don't expect to try it for long.
I simply cannot recommend this. The idea isn't necessarily without merit, replacing conventional platformer controls with a system based on shape shifting, but the execution is severely lacking. Movement never felt natural, and taking damage or dying felt less like my fault than because I was spending half my effort fighting the controls. Or because of random glitches, where I'd be killed because I suddenly got stuck in a wall or would be launched in the opposite direction to the one I was holding.
Apart from gameplay, there's not else to recommend either. The art design is bland and I frequently felt lost because of how similar everything looks. The music is fine but nothing special. The story... is there, but I have no idea where it was going.
Admittedly, I didn't finish the game, so maybe the story ends really strongly. But I think I have a good reason for quitting. I was somewhere in the second half of the game, fighting a boss, when it glitched and the boss disappeared. I'd already had a lot of glitches in this play session and was very frustrated, so I quit to the menu and tried to reload my game. Only, I somehow accidentally deleted it; no warning or confirmation pop up. Several hours gone, and I have no desire to go through that again.
I knew from other reviews what I was getting into - somewhat buggy, unpolished... but knowing this, in its current version it is frankly OK. I'm on my third playthrough. On the first, I tried to find the pacifist route and got softlocked. On the second, I did the normal route (defeating all the bosses), and now I'm doing the pacifist route again which I ended up finding. Apart from occasional clumsiness, it works OK and is good fun on my PC with XBox controller (according to another review, the controller is pretty much a prerequisite).
My recommendation is to first play the game the normal route, exploring all the different abilities you get by defeating the bosses, and then the pacifist route (which is played with the fairy only). I feel that this should really come with the game's manual, so I'll explain here how to get the pacifist route.
SPOILER ALERT if you want to find the pacifist route for yourself (SOFTLOCK RISK!)
Pacifist route entry point HOWTO:
* Find the key in the village (hint: you need to open a door)
* Use the key do go down the well
* Clear all the yellow rooms on the map (i.e. collect keys and upgrades). Hint: you need to bust open the three slugs.
* After the slugs, you can go through the secret passage with the key.
DO NOT open the door to the bottom right of the map, or your key will be gone, excluding you from the pacifist route and possibly resulting in a softlock if you move past the Dirt King (if you didn't collect the stamina upgrade).
