Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
187 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Moonscars delivers a tight, deliberate combat loop rooted in precision and punishment.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
150 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
While not a traditional Soulslike in its gameplay loop, every other part of its being – especially it’s worldbuilding and narrative – absolutely reeks (in a good way, mostly) of Fromsoft flavor.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
141 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The developer also sat down and cooked up an interesting variety of gameplay elements.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
96 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The only progression you really feel is how dexterous and adept you become at the game’s combat, which will ask much of you as enemies are ferocious and unforgiving, with long combos and brutal coordination.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
80 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This game comes with a great art style and Sounddesign that together make for a weighty impacting experience.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Sound design and score are top notch, with brooding ambiance as you traverse the castle, and sinister boss themes to rally you on that "this'll be the one" attempt.
