What’s The Hype For Momodora?įor anyone that doesn’t know what Momodora is, it’s a series of NES-inspired action-platformers where you play as priestesses wielding magical maple leafs to kill demons. After discovering it via the Humble Bundle’s Overwhelmingly Positive Bundle 2 set, I think it’s a good game that helps introduce players to the world of Metroidvania games with its retro presentation and tight gameplay mechanics. While there are some great Metroidvania games to talk about, I want to focus on one game that mixes cuteness and horror in one charming package: Bombservice’s Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight.

The gamer’s journey through a large, dark planet filled with creatures to fight and secrets to find was influenced by Ridley Scott’s Alien. However, one of the early horror-inspired trendsetters was the NES action-adventure platformer, Metroid.
When it comes to horror in video games, the first thing that might spring to mind for most gamers is Resident Evil, Silent Hill, or any other notable survival horror franchise.
