unlabelledView post →Great and fun game. It is on the short side but I can say all that time is fun. The bosses sometimes can feel like a battle of attrition but that means you are improving at the game. Has extra challenge modes post-game, worth a try. Recommended.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm really enjoying Dark Adelita; it has all the features of a classic run & gun arcade shooter. The level design is well thought out, with enemies carefully hand-placed, and some sections can become really challenging. The sound effects, music, and pixel art are all on point. The only thing I miss is the option to remap the controls to my liking. The default controls are fine, but I’d personally like to crouch using the left trigger on my gamepad. Sometimes the bullets fired by enemies can…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Beautiful and charming art The game feels very challenging without being overly punishing wich makes it feel a win more rewarding, Revolver is my favourite gun but in general all weapons are super fun to use, I enjoyed the lore and music, would recommend and play again.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short and lovely arcade experience. Great controls, presentation and functional story. Just wish it was a little longer but cant really complain for the price.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →✔️ The Good • Unique Cultural Theme: The game relies heavily on its unique post-revolutionary Mexican setting and historical themes, which instantly gives the adventure a much stronger, distinct identity. • Folkloric Lore Integration: Mexican folklore actively shapes the atmosphere, enemy types, and worldbuilding rather than just acting as lazy visual decoration. • Satisfying Weapons: The three-weapon loadout featuring a bolt-action rifle, shotgun, and revolver…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dark Adelita is a side-scrolling action platformer developed by Brain-dead Rabbit Games and published by indie.io, combining retro-inspired gameplay with historical themes and supernatural horror drawn from Mexican folklore. Built around fast movement, demanding combat encounters, and atmospheric world design, the game creates an experience that feels rooted in classic action platformers while establishing its own identity through cultural inspiration and darker storytelling. Rather than…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →⚠️ Warning. This is NOT your average game. This is a homage to an historic era in Mexico. A love letter to a piece of the collective memory of Mexicans of past generations. It's full of color, it brings you back to a yester-year era. The art pushes deep memories of me listening to my grandfather speak about "La Bola". The game action angered me at the very first level. I thought it was going to be an endless linear game. But then the first boss came, AND IT'S GAME THE F-CK ON! Buckle up, Take…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had a ton of fun with Dark Adelita it is a real challenge! Prepare to die over and over until you actually get good hahaha. Recommended.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dark Adelita it's a game that will scratch that action arcade run and gun game with a novel perspective: a Mexican environment full of small details that will show you a side of Mexico you can't find outside of actually traveling to the towns that the stages use as a reference. Controls are tight and gameplay is surprisingly varied. Bosses are challenging
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is very good and i have a good time with this game. It remaind me to many retro game like super mario, contra, etc. I know there is no perfect game so i will tell you about how i feel when i play this game. the one and only bothering me the most is the controller on this game. Sometime i feel the controller a bit junky or clunky and it annoyed me, but i still can enjoy this game and i got fun. So, i hope the developer won to improve this game especially the controller and maybe can…
