Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight Is the fourth game in the previously PC-exclusive Momodora series, and it’s a nice bite-sized Metroidvania that doesn’t do anything revolutionary but does everything right. It plays really well; it has great atmosphere and interesting characters, and it has sprite work the game reminiscent of Cave Stories most detailed sprites. The game is also full of mystery and well-hidden secrets. More importantly, and like the original Metroid, its non-linear, and it allows you a lot of freedom to explore the game. (A lot of new Metroidvanias would do well to take note. The most compelling aspect of the genre is exploration, not backtracking!) Finally, it’s tough! I died a lot, and every time I did, it was my fault. Regular enemies and traps would beat me down as soon as I entered the second area, and many bosses would wreck me the first time I fought them. After learning how to approach them, however, I was able to beat a few without getting hit, demonstrating the game’s “tough, but fair” approach to difficulty. While I didn’t find everything, I did get 100% map completion, the true final boss, and the hood ending in about seven hours, which is the just the right length for this type of game, in my opinion. Highly recommended.
