Moons of Darsalon

"Moons of Darsalon captures the zany slapstick of older platformers while introducing numerous tools to spice up the action. Though aesthetically beholden to a time and place, this is a worthy interpretation of a forgotten genre."

"Is a product inspired by niche classics itself intended to appeal to a small audience? This is an inevitable rhetorical question that Moons of Darsalon does not shy away from. But this is not necessarily a bad thing. After a …"

"Moons of Darsalon is at heart a return to nice gameplay mechanics with escort missions. However the gameplay is just not up to par. More often than not you will fail levels due to the stupid Darsanauts and the finicky …"

"On the surface, Moons of Darsalon looks like it escaped from a time capsule planted in the early 90&s;s. It evokes retro platforming with a challenge often missing in today&s;s games, filling the gap that the likes of Lemmings have …"

"Moons of Darsalon is a standout platformer that masterfully combines retro aesthetics, innovative gameplay mechanics, and a generous dose of humour. Its mix of strategic problem-solving, creative tools, and engaging rescue missions make it a joy to play, even when …"

"There is some fun to be found in Moons of Darsalon at times, and some of the more balanced levels offer a decent challenge. But too often I found myself cursing at the game for yet again killing me or …"

"I don’t want to leave you with the impression that Moons of Darsalon is a horrible game. It’s not, but I really wish the indie developer had put in more time streamlining the game mechanics instead of programming snarky one-liners …"

"An oddball mix of action, strategy, and herding your Lemming-like comrades makes for an uneven but entertaining time"

"As far as retro puzzle/platformers go, Moons of Darsalon is one of the most unique and entertaining I&s;ve played in quite some time. It&s;s engaging, it&s;s funny, and it&s;s frustrating in (usually) the most entertaining of ways. The gameplay, graphics, …"

"Despite its excellent aesthetics and sense of humor, and its competent level design full of surprises and challenges, which are generally well-designed, Moons of Darsalon&s;s technical limitations limit it. Perhaps, with enough patches, we&s;ll be able to experience the game …"

"Moons of Darsalon is an interesting puzzle platformer with a whole lot of variety, but issues like the AI art loading screens will be deal breaker for some."

"Moons of Darsalon knows exactly what it wants to offer: a modern experience inspired by retro gaming. However, this nature makes it a niche product, not suitable for all players. The high difficulty, unreliable AI, and some technical limits might …"
