And here we go again, another metroidvania with souls-like features in it, everything could go well, but it doesn't.... not being pessimistic, moonscars has good things like the gameplay, animations, sound, scenarios and an interesting lore but unfortunately it also have a lot of bad things.
Starting with the lore, it is good but the game doesn't know how to tell it to the players, it's very confusing and poorly wroted. The amulets and powers are another problem, you have a lot of them, but 90% are useless or just useful in specific situations, so when you reach 40% of the game you'll have the build that you'll use the rest of the game.
The last problem for me is the roguelite system...it doesn't work at all, its too simple to be something in the gameplay, you kill some guys, up 4 or 5 levels, select some basic upgrades like "more 10% of critical chance" and when you die or use a checkpoint for the first time it resets...simple and useless.
Moonscars has a good gameplay and universe but basically all elements that compound it are poorly made, but if you want something to have a quick fun and like this style of game, give it a chance ( gamepass..)
