The bare essentials Metroidvania experience!
If you are unfamiliar with the term "Metroidvania" it is a term used to describe (mostly) 2D games that are set in a sprawling platforming world. So imagine a bunch of normal game levels interconnected with corridors and shafts to separate them. There's backtracking throughout to find things that were previously inaccessible like secrets or whole new areas. Momodoro in particular is a difficult but straightforward representation of this style of game. There's upgrades to find but they don't dramatically change the way you engage with the world. You'll still be using your razor sharp leaf to combat enemies. The story is interesting but not complicated. A calamity has fallen over a once great land and you are tasked with stopping it. But the who's and the why's are very much out of reach in the beginning. Through cutscenes and environmental storytelling you begin to understand where everything went wrong. Controls are tight so don't worry about that being the reason you fail. And like I said this game is tough. It has a (sigh) Dark Souls feel to the trial and error of facing bosses. Though checkpoints are never crazy far away and regular enemies don't take long to dispatch. The aesthetics of the game are like gothic cute anime. Cute faces and foes in a very depressing and decaying world basically. It's a contrast that works in it's favor. The soundtrack is VERY well done. When it isn't turnt up for a boss battle its a very moody score that really conveys how far gone the world is. I'm talking some grim "having a beer with death" far gone. Overall I love this game. It really surprised me with how focused and fairly balanced it is. The team behind this really put a lot of heart into this title and it shows in all the details. This Limited Run release also has a reversible box art.

Beautiful and brutal.
Beautiful art style and flood gameplay, nice 2d platformer with great combat. Difficulty is just right for me but some might have issues with it. Would definitely recommend to purchase and given it's a limited run game just adds to the value.

Amazing game that doesn't need epic graphics
This little game, challenging, fun, epic, and immersive, leaves you wanting to play more of the series. (At least it did for me.) The controls are pretty simple and tight, the story is very good, the challenges you face need you to put effort in what you are doing, and honestly, this game could be called a hidden jewel.

Innovative tower defense
This game was unexpected for me. I liked the story as well as the artwork. It's a very unusual tower defense game in which there player had to constantly change the weapon for which wave has what minion is weakest to. I generally don't like tower defense games, except plants vs zombies.

Awesome Pixel Art Bliss!
This game has absolutely beautiful art, and plays amazingly on the Switch. As many of you know already, Limited Run does small batch game releases, so If you missed this one please Consider picking it up here! This one is an excellent choice for the platformer fan!
