Plague of Yamorn

Fun short metroidvania, and especially impressive from a solo developer. Map and combat design are solid, bosses are interesting and well-telegraphed, and the writing is pleasantly humorous. I first played this last year and ran into a save corruption bug, so big props to the dev for fixing those even if I did have to restart from scratch (and hey, that's on me for getting greedy and dying in the tutorial boss fight). Good stuff all around, and I'm excited to see what they do next.

I am not far in but felt compelled to write a review already as I am loving the game so far! Wonderfully charming pixel art and atmosphere! And very responsive and fun controls! Will update review after I play more. After playing this game for a few more hours I can honestly say that I absolutely love it! It is so well designed and made and I highly recommend it to any Metroidvania fan! Coming back one last time to update my review now that I have finished the game and I have also 100% it! Just wanted to say that in addition to my other compliments the story is also fantastic and there are multiple endings! I am going to recommend this game to anyone who will listen as there are not nearly enough reviews! I'd imagine that this game will become more popular in time!

Bought this game because of a recommendation and absolutely loved it. It is a short but great metroidvania!

A short and sweet metroidvania. Although a bit clunky at times.

I think the game seemed fine so far but I got frustrated and quit when I was first playing it. Now that I tried to return to it through Wine as I switched from Windows to Linux in the meantime, I couldn't even run the main menu, which is extremely poorly optimized. The game suffers from some optimization problems, as it's extremely heavy for a simple 2D pixel art game. I think its from the parallax. Anyway much love bro I found the game thru your youtube channel.

This game is possible to 100% complete in the span of a single day. I should know, as I just did that. Bear that in mind if you're looking to purchase it. Despite its short length, I loved playing this game. The combat was fun, the platforming not bad at all, and the level design was enjoyable to play through. Now, there were a few points of annoyance for me. You cannot dash while not already moving for some reason. The button just doesn't do anything by itself. This combines with the fact that you lose all momentum when you get hit to result in a number of situations where you will attempt to dodge and fail to. Also, dying between save spots just reverts your save, meaning that you will essentially have to retrace your steps to pick up all the items you picked up last time before you died. While the music is good, the tracks repeat just a bit too often for how much time you'll be spending in their respective areas. The bosses are easy-ish, but all of them except for one (Got a bit aHEAD of himself. Should have quit while he was aHEAD. Needs to get his HEAD in the game.) are fairly engaging, with neat character designs and attacks. On that note, the animations i…
