Mystic Melee

• Steam user Steam user …5933Steam reviews · May 1, 2020 · 2 h played

  A game with excellent feeling movement and platforming that has been unfortunately undermined by a reliance on clumsy action mechanics. The early access period on the store page was estimated to be 6 months but the last update was in mid-2018 with levels and characters still inaccessible and no dev communication since. As such, it seems the game has been abandoned.

  I love the idea of this game, and it feels really responsive, looks beautiful, BUT< after each level it crashes. SO I WILL NOT Recommend this game until dev's reply to my comment, and let me know when I can play it again. You have a gem right here! :/ don't lose it due to no optimization. Build: Windows10: latest update 3 April 2019 i7 6700 - GTX 1070 - Latest drivers, 16GB RAM, More than enough HDD Space,,, ;/ no excuses for a crash to happen - Was playing with an Xbox One Controller - and…

  Super fun so far! Pretty easy to learn the mechanics, but certainly difficult to master and some interesting nuances in the controls that are pretty unique. I find the single player mode really satisfying due to the challenge. I feel like there is a lot of strategy involved, and the combo + time element for the leaderboards is good incentive to add challenge. Multiplayer vs. mode feels a bit like 16-bit Super Smash Brothers to me. Really easy to pick-up for new players with a lot of quick…

  This is an abandoned early access 2D retro pixel action platformer with a weird sci-fi/fantasy/wizard/superhero kind of theme (the developers clear grasp of concept is on par with the quality of this "game"). They chose to use obsolete retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. The game plays well enough but there's not much in the…

  I'm enjoying this game quite a bit! The game feels very polished for an early access game, so far the animations, character design, enemies, everything feels and looks very nice and it all fits the aesthetic of the game. Gameplay reminds me a lot of Dustforce which I'm sure this game draws influence from, the movement feels very fluid though the slowness following a dash can be kinda jarring. As for some issues i'm already having with the game, i find it odd that start restarts the level as…

  I don't have a ton of time in this, but there's a good reason for that. It blue screened my computer. I have a pretty good computer and it has run much better than this, so this is just kinda unexpected. From what I did play it's alright but felt a little annoying to do certain actions like slide down a slope (you'd just kinda fall off every now and then) and especially jump off the slope. So many times it would just kinda not count my first jump and I'd double jump and miss the gap. I normally…

  Is it a combat game or a speed and momentum game? The combination ends up being much worse than either would be alone. Also, I didn't notice this until after purchasing in 2022, but this is a game from 2017 that is *still* in early access... that's never a good sign.

  I bought this game thinking it was a Metroidvania. It's not. It's like Super Meat Boy, but not as good. Personally, I do not like the game. I am going to use my Steam refund (Thank you for changing your terms of service Steam!!) and get something that's more my style. I already have Super Meat Boy and I love it. I bought this game thinking it was a Metroidvania, and for that, I am the one that is at fault here. It's hard for me not to recommend the game because I want to support indie…

  In this retro styled game, four arcane wizards must face an evil mage and save their world by mastering spells. Mystic Melee by developer Serenity Forge is a fast paced, physics based platformer for PC. You will learn how to dash, wall jump, slide, and control your wind based powers as you tackle increasingly difficult levels. In the word’s of the developers, it’s “easy to learn and hard to master.” This retro-esque platformer definitely took me by surprise. Reminiscent of Metroid and…

  This game is still quite new to me, and I'm still making progress, so I'll update this review as I go. I really enjoy this platformer so far. If relevance is something you care about, I would call this a fun hybrid of Super Meat Boy, Shovel Knight, and Duck Game. The writing is hilarious with just enough story to not be distracting from the gameplay. This is a challenging platformer through and through, but it doesn't suffer from the typical tropes associated with the genre. It's very…

  Kung Fu Kickball - Easy to pick up, has an adjustable timer iirc, can go anywhere. If I ran sports openers this probably would've been on it. Was also in the CB arcade this year? Who knew! Mystic Melee - Didn't get to watch this game but I like it. Has good settings so you can use it anywhere.

  If you happen to see this review during the next 2 days (or at any period in the future while the game is on sale), do yourself a favor and just click that add to cart button and buy it. Getting this for 6 bucks is an incredible deal. If you miss the sale, and are wondering if it's still worth it at full price: <b> YES </b>. It most certainly is. Mystic Melee is a diamond in the rough that is flying well under the radar, and is certainly deserving of more attention - even while the game is in…

  Mystic Melee is an indie game off to a great start. Currently it's early access but it comes loaded with content already. The first 2 worlds of the campaign are available (not counting what is essentially a tutorial world), as well as a ton of multiplayer options. The platforming is tight and solid lending itself well to speed running. A platformer is all about how it moves and Mystic Melee moves great. Mystic Melee has got me excited for what's to come and I am very excited to follow the…

  Excellent platformer with speed game potential. Lots of fun when you figure out the controls and get timings right. The music is good as well, and helps with the pace of gameplay. Do note that it's probably best to play this game with a controller. Keyboard controls aren't as intuitive when it comes to playing this game.

  This is a good one. The single player game focuses on completion and speed. A little like DustforceDX, not quite as fast paced as Super Meat Boy. It is very entertaining. The multiplayer is a platform brawler. It is well done, though some of the character's moves aren't that interesting, frustrating even. There is so much potential here, with a few more characters and another world or two. Unfortunately, it appears development has stopped. For the sale price, this game is more than worth it.…

  Recently met with the developer for this game and I believe that this game has a large potential to be very good. Even right now, gather 2-4 friends or even go solo in the campaign and you can have such a blast in this game. The dev has insight on what his future updates will be and if he can carry through with it, this will be a game I'll recommend to everyone as a fun party game. Honestly, this game is great and reminds me of games like Towerfall Ascension and Celeste put together and made…

  This game feels like Smash Brothers got drunk one night and had a blurry, passionate romp with Final Fantasy Dissidia and Street Fighter. The controls well done, the power-up style abilities also add a good helping of variation. Where the come falls short is in each characters' specialization and a very small bit of it's presentation. First, characters are just not unique enough. I want them to have a unique moveset, as it stands they all sort of feel like shades of the same character. There…

  @gameshaped.com Hey there. You're the dev behind Mystic Melee right? I was wondering if there was any chance to put some closure on that game? Even just ending the early access and removing the locked off levels and characters, or something like that? Thanks.

  This is crazy! I honestly can’t believe I never even wrote down my first impressions of this game, if for nothing else, just to let it be known that this is definitely either the first, or second best steam game that I randomly stumbled upon (it’s a toss up between this and “Betrayer: curse of the spine”) I’d consider both to be the best examples for the term “hidden gems”…and boy do I mean hidden! When I bought this it was about $4, and I felt as if I’d ripped off the developers, at this…

  For the price the game is actually a pretty awesome party game with 4 friends. The game type where you are trying to score goals on each other is amazing 2v2 and worth the price of admission alone. I got it for $3 and it’s well worth that, I would even have paid the full $5 for the game. Literally only play it for the 2v2 basketball style game, super original gameplay for 4 friends to mash together.

  I'm recommending this solely for how fun it is to retry until you can speed through the levels with a perfect time. Unfortunately, multiplayer and the action side of the game ruin much of the experience.

  This game snuck up on me. I met the chief developer a little while back at a local game showcase and his game was fun and he seemed like a cool guy, so I added it to my Steam wishlist, bought it on sale a few months later, and promptly forgot about it for over 2 years. Now, since I've recently had plenty of time to go through my Steam library (RIP my social life), I've rediscovered what a gem I've had hidden in my library for so long. The single player campaign is a lot of fun, gradually…

  Ive barely begun playing this game and already i know this is one of the great ones. Kind of in the same vein as speedrunners, super meat boy and dustforce. This game is about goin fast, trying again and going even faster. Its got fighting mechanics, casual multiplayer and even some really challenging secret hunting making it a good game for a lot of different games. How this game passes anyone's radars i dont know but when this game leaves EA, i think you'll be hearing of it.

  I've been searching for a good and challenging platform game and as soon as I started playing Mystic Melee, I knew this would be the title I was looking for. The first thing I liked was the plotline. Every single character started their arcs from a different point of the story, making them show us diverse lands of this beautifully crafted world. Also, the graphics fit the style of this game perfectly: they are retro, nostalgic and colorful. Overall, this was a charming and high-quality…
