Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight Demonstrative Review
3Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight is a 2D metroidvania where you play as a priestess on a mission to put a stop to the evil forces threatening your village...but wait, this is actually a prequel to the previous three games. You play as Kaho and are on your way to see the Queen of the land to see about doing away with the curse and such. You will meet a handful of other characters, some of which will actually help you on your quest.
You start the game off armed with a leaf (series staple) and a bow (with arrows). You have separate buttons for your leaf attack, bow, jump, roll, and item use. You can equip up to three "use" items and four passive items which have constant or automatically activated effects. Enemies drop money which can be used to buy more items from shopkeepers.
The level design fits more like the second game, that is more of an adventure game where you explore and find items and new abilities (similar to a metroidvania). After the first area, you are free to explore several different areas on your own, meaning there are many different paths and events you can experience in different orders. You can find hidden powerups which will increase your max health or give you new abilities like air-dashing. There are four of these ability granting powerups which you need to collect to enter the last two areas of the game.
When you beat the game, you can save to restart from the beginning with all your items and map data previously collected. There are multiple difficulty levels which the game can be played on. Bosses will grant you special items if you defeat them without taking any damage (best not to go for these on your first try). There are zero Steam achievements earned from simply playing the game from start to finish. All achievements are earned from finding secrets and accomplishing difficult tasks (good design in my book).
It may take between 3 to 5 hours to beat, depending on skill level and knowledge of the game (making this the longest Momodora game yet). The artwork and action has been increased dramatically over previous installments. If you aren't already aware, this is the fourth game made in the Momodora series. The Momodora III can be found on Steam while Momodora I and II are free games available on the creator's website (https://rdein.itch.io/)
This is a great game and I highly recommend it to those who like action platformers with some metroidvania-like elements.
