Doomblade is awesome. Rarely do gameplay, level design and art design blend together this seamlessly. Truly a joy from start to finish. Exploring the world always felt meaningful. Speed running the game felt like a fresh challenge as well. Together with Elden ring Doomblade is my favorite game from the last ten years and my second favorite 2D metrovania after Super metroid.
Cheers!
P.S Doomblade is clearly meant to be played with keyboard and mouse. Unlike most, if not all, other platformers this game is NOT enjoyable with a controller.
Juego barato para lo que ofrece, 10-15 horas de juego, sin bugs en toda la playthrough. Mapa bastante grande. Buenas mejoras y muchísima mobilidad. El juego es muy único y no trata de copiar a otros metroidvanias. La ambientación es muy buena y la historia se cuenta bien. Todas las habilidades son útiles y aunque al principio parezca tosco, como buen metroidvania acabas yendo de lugar en lugar volando literalmente, haciendo que el backtracking sea muy ameno. El juego también tiene peaks de dificultad y aunque al principio parezca fácil, como a mitad del juego se vuelve una experiencia desafiante. Las únicas pegas que le tengo al juego son; el tiempo de las pantallas de carga que es larguísimo. Y que cuando mueres no se te guarda aquello que has hecho después de haber cogido el checkpoint.
Espero que le des una oportunidad porque el juego vale muchísimo la pena. Gracias.

worth it full price

- 6 - 9 hour long.
-glitches, small map , aim lock need work, long loading time and annoying final boss.
-creative 2d metroidvania and good lvl design.
As someone who enjoys metroidvanias and would rank them at the top of my list of favourite game styles, Doomblade attempts too much and succeeds at little. The concepts are great, the artwork is great, and the core mechanics are workable, but demonstrate deep flaws when put to the test. Overall movement is fine, though can be clunky when precision is required. Where the game can become frustrating is during situations where randomness takes over. On one hand, this can be fun, on the other it will border impossible tasks since the game randomizes enemy location during certain battles. Luck becomes too great of a factor and takes away any enjoyment it may have offered.
Will you enjoy it? Parts will entertain you. But, once you start familiarizing yourself with the fast travel (which is horrible) and the lack of tightness in the controls, you'll be left grinding for the satisfaction of saying you've completed it, though you'll rather forget you ever played it in the first place.
