Decent, but unpolished roguelite
The platforming and action is decent and the amount of customization is good, but the game lacks polish and depth. Once I finished the main story, I tried a challenge mode (just the same game but with restrictions) and new game plus (same game, but harder), but it couldn't keep my interest. Visuals: The retro style looks ok. The particle effects are never too overwhelming which helps when in combat. There are some interesting pixel animated cutscenes, but they are only used in the opening and the ending which is a shame. Gameplay: Equip gear, kill enemies, jump on platforms. The gear is your standard mix of bad, good and great. You find what works and you want to stick with it, but if you us an item enough you master it, earning MP that allows you to use better starting gear on your next run. While this provides a stronger start and an incentive to use different gear it also forces you to not use what you like and can make runs harder. There's also character upgrades but they are gained PAINfully slow. After clearing the story mode I still didn't have even half of the upgrades unlocked. Presentation: This is my biggest gripe. There are too many aspects of the game that should have been revisited. The sound mixing is off. Some sounds are very loud while others are too low. Skipping dialogue causes the BGM to 'skip' and since there's no voice overs and most people read faster than the auto scroll this became a common annoyance. There's no way to sort the player or the vault inventory. Narrative: While most roguelites have simple stories, which works for the game type, MU goes for something with more depth, but fails to deliver. Something, something, humans are the real monsters, etc. Characters aren't given time grow or naturally illustrate their personalities. Not normally an issue for a roguelite, but if you're going to call it a narrative driven roguelite you should try a bit harder.
