excellent controls bad level design great boss fights terrible balancing fun character variety low enemy and boss variety unique setting bad storytelling great early game experience tedious late game experience built for multiplayer ends working against the game as pretty much no one plays this this game scratches a very specific action platformer itch, but ends up leaving a gash, do with that info what you will.

I had some interest in playing Dragon Marked For Death when it came out on the Switch, but I’m glad I played it now that the game contains all characters! DMFD is a fun platformer RPG to play with friends – you can use teamwork to take on different roles and cover for each others’ weaknesses, and generally speed through levels faster by splitting up. The classes themselves play quite differently for the most part, so there’s reason to try a few out - I started with the Empress which was great as my first, then switched it up with the Bandit and Oracle (at which point I started running out of steam). I haven't played solo, though I imagine it would have felt repetitive a little faster. Since it’s stage-based game with time limits, it’s a good game to pick up and play even if you don’t have loads of time, and it works well on Steam Deck.

Peak co-op fantasy action RPG platformer if you like Megaman or 2-D Kirby games but want a medieval dark fantasy style, this is your game. Teamplay is great and meaningful, difficulty is good, and characters are fun to play. Visuals, music, and co-op gameplay are reminiscent of the old times playing Metal Slug or 2D Kirby with friends. There aren't new games made like this anymore, especially on PC, that focus on the co-op teamplay aspect with progression and dungeon crawling. This is PC's Odin Sphere/Dragon's Crown. The negative reviews completely mislead me into thinking it was mediocre, but it's honestly great. I was hooked immediately. Would already like a second game or another like it, and I haven't yet finished it

If you're starving for more Megaman Zero / ZX and would like if you could play them with friends then look no further than Dragon Marked For Death. It's even made by the same director! The flaws i have with the game are vastly outweighed by the positives. If all you're looking for is great combat and bosses then i think you'll be very satisfied. Positives: [*] Combat system is incredible, every character is different and fun and feel incredibly satisfying thanks to the great animations and sound design, their movesets are very detailed and all have hidden depth (sometimes literally... as some small but crucial parts aren't explained in-game... Luckily the wiki is pretty good). [*] Bosses are incredibly well made and some of Inti's best bosses are in this game, however it might take a while until you see them. [*] Very good co-op mechanics. A lot of modern co-op games either REQUIRE you to interact with other players (ex: It Takes Two) or have practically no meaningful co-op interaction and all you're doing is the same thing but together (ex: Monster Hunter). Dragon Marked For Death for me strikes that perfect balance very few games do, where all players are independent, but highly benefit by coordinating and working together, thanks to the DP system, aggro and how classes are designed. (Ex. Resident Evil 5, Vermintide 2). [*] The Cavern of Torment is very fun and requires planing and strategy and feels really good when you finally clear a new set of floors (and missions too). Warnings: [*] Nobody plays this game so online is dead, it's either solo or playing with friends. The game is very fun solo, but waaaaaaaaaay better with friends, some characters highly benefit from the extra DP generation teammates provide to stay strong and you get way more exp in a group. [*] There isn't much customisation of your character, which is okay for me. [*] Very grindy. You repeat missions at higher difficulty levels in order to earn better gear, exp, and unlock even higher difficulty. Outside of higher damage and hp, enemies gain new attacks and bosses change their moveset and speed drastically! I find this very fun, but some will find it repetitive and a a deal breaker if they're not in love with the combat. [*] Game gets very difficult in the later content. [*] Story progression is locked behind completing secret objectives in certain missions. Make sure to check the wiki! and read about your character while you're at it. Flaws: A lot of the flaws this game have come down to little things like numbers or scaling that would take a few days to change max. Things like the stat system being kinda weird initially, and how Magic focused characters run into damage issues later because of how magic scales (still play them! all of them can solo). Or how you'll spend a significant amount of time exclusively grinding for EXP in the later parts of the game in order to wear stronger gear, which sucks extra badly because the best EXP per time missions are sadly the ones with the least fun bosses, and if you're playing solo you get significantly less exp. Still i really really love this game, 2D games with great combat and bosses, and specially good co-op sadly don't come by every day as most games seem content with just slapping a dodge roll on their game and calling it a day. So i recommend trying it, You get a very good idea of the game right from the start so you can always refund if it's not to your liking. Any confusion or doubts i recommend checking the mostly detailed in-game guide or checking out the wiki.

Dragon Marked For Death is a mixed bag. If you like side scrollers, looters, mission based games and don't mind assets being reused a lot in order to provide more content, you're probably going to enjoy your time, especially playing with friends. However, it's worth mentioning Dragon Marked For Death has crashes and the same alt tab black screen and resolution scaling issues as other Inti games (such as Blaster Master Zero 2 and 3), making it blurry on full screen. Fortunately, this time you can fix it by [url=https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/2421-dragon-marked-for-death-ultrawide-fix/]setting up a Settings file that forces the game to run in the correct resolution, including ultrawide aspect ratios. The reason I recommend Dragon Marked For Death despite its shortcomings is there isn't anything similar on PC. We can't pick something like Odin Sphere over it and the character design and sprites are quite charming. A second game featuring more engaging missions would be interesting.
