wonderful metroidvania with great art, music and exploration. The translation isn't great at times but it still manages to have charming characters and a pretty cool story :D Definitely recommended if you enjoy other metroidvanias

Oct. 2024

8Doors has a big beautiful world with unique characters but suffers from some aggravating flaws: combat could feel a bit better, the levels are too maze-like and require too much backtracking. The worst flaw I would say are the bosses? Sure "Get good" but they seem to be too big a difficulty spike from the normal game and can sucker punch you a lot. make a couple mistakes and you're done. Ultimately this is the reason I stopped playing. Couldn't beat that boss in the ice level. Overall, I got a lot of fun hours out of it but rarely do I outright give up on a game due to the difficulty. It's a fun one to try if you look at it through the lens of an experience and less as winning or losing. So, I'll recommend it but give a warning that players should get ready for difficulty.

Sept. 2024

A run of the mill Metroidvania (in a good way). The story was whatever, but you're likely here for the platforming, ability gating, and combat and the game has all 3 and of decent quality! My only real gripe with the game was that the final boss was a really bizarre choice and was pretty dumb. Well worth the <$5 I paid for it! Grade: C

Sept. 2024

Nice metroidvania game, unique style and not soooo hard as hollow knight but still enjoyable.

March 2024

I'm bummed that it's over. Fantastic metroidvania that's very much inspired by Hollow Knight but with adjustable difficulty. It's clear that this was made by fans of the genre. The bugs in negative reviews have been addressed. I 100% the game and encountered no glitches.
