Shieldmaiden: Remix Edition

Seemed like a good side scroller game I would like with a cyberpunk theme. Jumping into the game I the dialog was longer in the beginning, I get there should be a story, fine. The keys to play (at least 10 mins in) are shift, z,x,c with no way to rebind them or menu. Music was loud with again no menu to change these settings. I wanted to like it but the combat felt clunky and with no way to bind them to test if it would feel better, I closed out and uninstalled the game. I understand the dev worked hard on this but I just couldn't keep playing.

Didn't feel very good to play. Might be a me problem though as others seem to like it.

Nice little game. Very short. Fair challenge (not rage-inducing). Great soundtrack.

Cute game. Really like the art and story seems interesting so far. I like the writing as well. And the gameplay is challenging. The dialogue sounds and mechanics seem nice. I do a little game dev myself and you did a great job.

Perfect length and challenge for a game of this sort. Fun retro platformer. 100% it in 4+ hours.

Combat is built around a unique defensive approach that distinguishes Shieldmaiden: Remix Edition from many traditional side-scrolling platformers. Instead of relying solely on offensive attacks, Asta's shield serves as the centerpiece of every encounter, encouraging players to master blocking, timing, and counterattacks. Enemies become incre…
