If you like Smash Bros' combat design with Kirby's level design and philosophy, or platformers in general, you're gonna like Decline's Drops a lot.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
50 of 191 sampled reviews raised it
It is worth the 15€ sale price for the gameplay, levels, character and boss design, and has the vibes of a great indie cult classic.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
45 of 191 sampled reviews raised it
The game's visual style is characterised by its hand-drawn aesthetic, and the soundtrack is extravagant in its approach, which I personally find utterly captivating.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
27 of 191 sampled reviews raised it
The difficulty of the game is fair: most normal levels have generous amounts of checkpoints, healing items, and you're given plenty of leeway for mistakes, which is good imo.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
24 of 191 sampled reviews raised it
The art style is a nice, simple cartoon design with pretty fluid animation.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
23 of 191 sampled reviews raised it
The story is somewhat interesting: it's got that Kirbyness in terms of the enemies and world (cutesy going into child friendly lovecraft at times), and there are times I'm intrigued by what's going on.
