I only wish that there were better options for aerial combat. This further encourages exploration, since collecting more items and money allows you to discover a wide variety of equipment. You don't necessarily have to master the mechanics on normal difficulty, but you do need to utilize a wide array of items, dodges, and both melee and ranged attacks. Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight isn't the kind of game where you can breeze through the entire game taking potshots. Most common enemies can be taken out with simple combos, but bosses require you to be conscious of your spacing. The gameplay is fast-paced, smooth, and responsive. I joke, but the Lubella fights are the most memorable parts of the game, likely because they feel the most original. It even uses a cat transformation as one of its mechanics, much like Symphony of the Night's bat and wolf souls.Īnd then, of course, there's the big blue demon boss who's defeated by smacking her boobs around. The plot and pacing model is a direct descendant of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, a combat-based Metroidvania punctuated by lots of bosses and minibosses. Along the way, she battles hordes of enemies with her trusty leaf and meets a predominantly female cast of warriors, witches, and courtiers. Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight is a prequel to the previous three games, though the formula remains mostly the same: a young priestess (here named Kaho) ventures forth from home to dive into a dungeon and lift a curse.
It accomplishes a lot but still feels like it's reaching for more.
Every entry represents a shift in level architecture and gameplay style, hiding a strange, sinister world, but the brief duration on them keeps it elusive. The fourth game, Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight, shifts styles yet again, offering a deeper and more polished glimpse into that world. At the same time, they always feel like they're reaching to be something more, something just out of reach. The three original games feature some of the richest sprite art in indie games alongside smooth, lightning-quick gameplay. The Momodora series is simultaneously delicious and frustrating.
