Beautiful art and rock-solid design. Fatal Claw nails the difficulty curve: it provides satisfying puzzles, balanced platforming, and engaging boss encounters without becoming frustrating. The adjustable difficulty (in both directions!) is a fantastic touch. I'm looking forward to the full launch.1 found this helpful
I strongly believe this game, and its developer NDev Games, need to be given MUCH more attention than what we see in the current numbers, because Fatal Claw has the potential to be one of the best metroidvanias out there. First of all, I am a 45yo gamer with a passion for metroidvanias. I've played tens of them, including all the ones that matter (it's impossible to keep up nowadays), so I have quite a bit of experience in them. I also don't usually write reviews, but I think this game deserves an exception because of its incredible quality. I backed this game in Kickstarter due to NDev's ambition to make a game at the quality level of HK/Silksong but without being a straight copy of it. I was instantly convinced by its aesthetics, the clean and top quality graphics, and simply the passion NDev were putting in it. I was very disappointed to see they only got a bit of money from the Kickstarter, but they decided to build it anyway. Just yesterday I decided to give it a go in Early Access and... holy mother of dragons!! Is the game a new Silksong? Well, no, it's not. But it's damn close to HK quality when it was released. Being able to mimic the brilliancy of HK and Silksong, mak…1 found this helpful
What a lovely game. It is EA but I really like the vibe. I like the story that I saw and the characters. Artstyle is nice too after all those pixel games. The progression is good, always a new movement skill and the genre typical gadgets, that give you different increased damage or generate flies when you get hit, are well balanced. The bosses aren't that hard right now, which is ok for the start. I am happy that I bought the game and hope they release 1.0 soon.1 found this helpful
Solid game but foggy story.1 found this helpful
This was a charming little game I stumble upon by chance, but it retained my attention by a lot. Price is just right an there's plenty to do even in early access. That is to say, I'm looking forward to the full game.1 found this helpful
