If you've played any other Metroidvania game, you can easily pass this one up. It means well, and Grey Irma is a beast, but with a convoluted story and characters you will never care about, dying over and over is probably the best part of the game. Beautiful game. Questionable story. "Every death makes you stronger." goes the tagline. I question where the strength actually goes. Slash, slash, dodge.

There are better examples of 2D Souls games out there, but Moonscars doesn't overstay its welcome and the combat/exploration is fun enough that I found myself willing to overlook most of its other issues.

With so many similar and far superior games out there, it's tough to recommend Moonscars with its tedious game world and annoying gameplay.
