game is extremely overpriced
Whoever thinking about getting this game right now - don't.
It's clearly a work of amateurs and it does not have the value of whatever they're asking.
70% discount? Sounds about right

I think it’s a bit unfair to compare every metroidvania’s content to something like Hollow Knight, which is an anomaly in regards to the content to price ratio. For some players it’s enough to pay 30 bucks and play a game that knows when to end instead of overstaying its welcome. Especially with how many games there are these days, not everything needs to last forever.

It’s also worth noting that Afterimage’s review scores are 80% on steam which is… not great. So maybe OP just has wonky taste in Metroidvanias or they had different expectations for the game.

Ridiculous comment, you don't even own the game. The criticism is far too exaggerated to be credible - pure attempt to discredit RedCandleGames. Still crying because Winnie the Pooh was insulted?

The Op sounds like a Winnie the Pooh buttbuddy, run back to the CCP troll.

Its 35$ for a game that will take the average person around 30 to complete fully. How is that overpriced?

The game is underpriced if anything.

Not a single top topic argument was posted, why is that? Are you physically incapable to produce any thoughts whatsoever? Stop crying and leave the thread, blocked.

Combat has a lot of issues,I would say massive. It's inconsistent, it tries to rely a lot on precision but the homework on being accurate and clear was not being done. This is an issue for a lot of 2D games with roll trying to mimic souls.
I'm pretty sure it is impossible to do right with jump, there are too many things need to be fine tuned for each encounter.
You get the frustration not because it is hard but because devs set unrealistic goals that they failed to meet.

This isn't really saying anything. What are the massive issues with combat? What is inconsistent? How is the precision not done right? What needs to be fine tuned for encounters (give some examples)?

I like to hear all sides of criticism but you're not making a good argument.

Even I -mwho posted a "Not recommended" review (that I might revisit but that's beside the point), even I think that this topic is outrageous.

Making a game is super hard. It's even harder to break even. And this game obviously got a lot of attention from its creators. While there are some things I don't like, there is no way I would be so disrespectful to go and argue "iT'S eXpeNSivE".

For those considering buying the game and seeing this thread, don't listen to OP.
It's a fait price, ans if you want to go an extra mile you can easily buy it on the studio official page, you will get a Steam key but they get a better share of what you pay.

That's the weakest b8 I've read in a long time.
0/10.

That has to be the funniest troll. Ask for argument, instant block you so you can't actualy provide one.

What a chad. :D

It’s worth noting that 30 bucks was standard MSRP for almost all games on the Nintendo DS, and people were plenty willing to pay that. The same 30 bucks is worth even less these days so I would say it’s a fair price for something like Nine Sols. Doesn’t mean I wouldn’t wait for a sale though.
