Critic Reviews for Fearmonium
Hand-drawn flair and unusual characters help give this Metroidvania a chance to make an impression
Fearmonium is a Metroidvania with a pretty heavy theme. The depressing themes in combination with the gloomy environments are not for everyone. It might even put off those who are interested. On the other hand, it has become a very original game in the genre that I would like to recommend to everyone without too many caveats. Even if you have a phobia of clowns.

The floaty controls and repetitive music aside, I thought this was a decent dip in the metroidvania arena. Fearmonium is a creepy little romp that’s worth a few days of amusement and some further discussion, but it lives and dies by its very notion. If you seek greater meaning of the trauma and horrors, then you’ll remember it far longer. While it might disturb and captivate you in the moment, it could fade when you walk away from your console.
At first glance, Fearmonium may seem like a title that will resemble the action-packed Cuphead. Unfortunately, this is not the case and the title under review plays with a different style. Still, it is a title worth playing and getting to know the story of a depressed, anxious little boy trying to get out of it. You can get this title on Steam for €10.79.

Fearmonium had all the credentials to deal with such a sensitive topic as phobia and depression in a sharp and interesting manner. Unfortunately, the reality of the facts is quite different, and it proposes an imprecise and botched title, which sees in its artistic compartment its only lifeline.
