Nov. 2024

Ethereal, melancholy, searching... fighting to survive, if you are in some sense alive. And looking for something beyond just survival. It's a peculiar existence in Ghost Song, but that's okay. The experience is unique enough to be worth the occasional stubbed toe on rough edges of game design or difficulty smoothing. The narrative is fairly fleshy, especially for a soulsy game. And this is a souls-like, without a doubt - a 2D platforming metroidvania one, but with the same spirit of evasion, maneuvering, timing and tactics to determine whether combat will go well... or result in a hike back from the nearest save spot. Expect to die a lot, and remember to learn something every time if you can - this should help you through. You have a basic ranged attack from your blaster gun, and with sustained fire your gun will overheat and fire slower until it cools. But in a neat twist of game design, this grants you a damage bonus if you whack enemies in melee combat while your gun heat is high, so one series of attacks flows smoothly into the next. This isn't always easy to pull off, but it provides opportunities for satisfying, skilful combat - the heart and soul of the souls genre. It's a shame there's only partial voice acting. What there is, however, is well done and helps pull you into the world, its characters and their struggles. The sound and music are good. The visuals are strange, varied and interesting, as well as quite beautiful. Some areas feel fairly empty, which I read as a sign of good pacing, atmosphere, even realism - not everywhere needs to be full of belligerent creatures, after all - and not all creatures in the game are belligerent. It makes the world feel more like a world, yes? All in all, I'd recommend this game to fans of the metroidvania soulslike genre blend, who enjoyed games such as Salt & Sanctuary (or its sequel), Ender Lilies, or that Vigil thing. As a caution, the game could arguably be more polished. At the same time, though, its heart is in the right place, it has a good amount of action and exploration of a strange alien world through the eyes of a mysterious being... so yes. Heartily recommended.

If you cannot stop playing until you almost starve to death, you know it's an awesome game. I'm hooked and loving it all the way. There are many unique traits which set it apart from other metroidvanias. Give it a shot, it's very interesting and fun. The atmosphere, story, characters and music are glorious. Controls are smooth, abilities are nice and level design is amazing. BUT it's rather short, I was like WTF when it ended and there are obviously some things I must have missed

As a metroidvania, it's ok. As a mysterious and atmospheric experience, it's great. As the achievement of a solo dev, it's outstanding.

the fact that one person spent a decade to create and polish this work of digital art makes this a mst play for metroid fans. it felt just like the first time playing a metroid game too. the sense of the unknown. the darkness feels like its watching you. there are some things i think could be better. but its pretty much a masterpiece. i would really like to see this games universe like more planets and moons to explore, some different missions supply deliveries helping ppl solving mysteries tc this game for me inspires all kinds of adventures. you might not like it, its not quite like anything else ive played tho you can feels previous games dna in the soul of this game. 9.5/10 amazing game dev.!!!!!

What a game. I finished it a few days ago and my head is still buzzing. Mechanics are good and enjoyable, but the real standout is the art, music, and story. Be sure to engage in all of the dialogue options you can. It's so incredibly well written and heartfelt. Also nice to have a break from the decision based stories that are becoming more popular. Not that a decision-dependent story isn't fun, it's just a nice change of pace every now and then to just play a game without worrying about how each action I take will hide or reveal certain endings. Just play the game and experience the world and story. Loved it.
