Morkull Ragast's Rage
Critic Reviews for Morkull Ragast's Rage
My real problem with Morkull Ragast's Rage isn't with it's storytelling, it's with just about everything else.
It feels unfair to be so punishing to a studio's debut game. Clearly, there is some affection for the genres Morkull Ragast's Rage is playing within here, and the hand-drawn art style is admirable and something I wish more games sought to emulate. But the sheer lack of polish and mediocrity of its game systems, metafictional elements and overall presentation left me raging at the Ragast, and not in the way I suspect the developers intended.
Overall, Morkull Ragast’s Rage is a competent game, but it has some obvious problems, such as the lack of an engaging narrative and the need for more polish in combat and enemy variety. The game gives the impression that the developers used all their ideas in the introduction and left much to be desired in the rest of the experience. Breaking the fourth wall with the main character is a great idea, but it is underused, appearing very few times throughout the game. Morkull Ragast’s Rage presents itself as a unique game, standing out for its charismatic protagonist, but in the end, it delivers a generic Metroidvania, without flavor and ambition.

Although the premise is interesting, the narrative didn't shine as it could have, and I thought the humor and characters ended up being too forced.

Morkull Ragast’s Rage doesn’t bring a ton of new ideas to the table, but what it offers is a solid, well-crafted platforming adventure with a lot of personality. Morkull himself is a fantastic lead, carrying the game with his quirky humour and fourth-wall-breaking antics. The gameplay is tight and enjoyable, though combat can be hit-or-miss, and navigation issues may test your patience. The difficulty makes it best suited for experienced players, as the punishing soul-loss system and challenging encounters may frustrate more casual players. But if you’re up for a tough but rewarding platforming experience, Morkull Ragast’s Rage delivers a fun, chaotic ride through a beautifully animated, villainous adventure.
