unlabelledView post →We have a few Metroidvanias, Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdok is legitimately an awesome game, Curse of the Sea Rats… exists… I’d like to see more tactical RPGs (like Final Fantasy Tactics).
unlabelledView post →9. Curse of the Sea Rats. This is an indie game I backed on Kickstarter, and got the physical edition on Switch. It’s a beautiful looking Metroidvania, that plays really well. It has a great difficulty balance, with sections that feel punishing, but not unfair. I had a great time with it. #365games

unlabelledView post →So I'm playing this video game called "Curse of the Sea Rats," and I was caught completely off-guard by an extended joke at author Dan Brown's expense, and I still can't stop laughing.
unlabelledView post →Well that's #CurseOfTheSeaRats done, had to do the final boss fight twice as it glitched out the first time, also problems with character portraits not loading in the final cut scene which was a disappointment Managed to get the good ending though. All in all its a good game I thought, just lacks a bit of polish in a few areas, and there were a couple of annoying bits Will definitely check out a sequel if they make another one!
unlabelledView post →You know when you're playing a game and having a great time, but then you get to this one boss and think "what the FUCK were they smoking when they made this guy" and the game goes from a solid 8/10 to a 6 #CurseOfTheSeaRats Necromancer is that guy Phase one: piss easy Phase two: disappearing moving platforms above instant death drop bullshit
unlabelledView post →So #CurseOfTheSeaRats is a pretty fun Metroidvania with great graphics that looks amazing on the OLED Switch. Can be frustrating in places cos even basic enemies hit super hard and healing items might as well not be in the game considering how hard they are to get (either that or I just suck, which is pretty likely tbh) Am digging it, 3 bosses down after many many attempts and much swearing
