Micro Mages (Nes) CO-OP Playthrough / Small but satisfying.

Micro Mages (2019) by Morphcat Games is an indie platform game sponsored by people on Kickstarter and released in 2019. Thanks to the generosity of donors, the creators managed to raise as much as €150,000 to create this little gem. In the game, we play as four wizards (the game allows for up to 4 players to cooperate at once) who set off to a demonic castle to rescue their beloved princess, and that's basically it in terms of the plot. Graphically, the game is very minimalistic, with small sprites and a background consisting mostly of black fill. Despite so many simplifications, the animation, though modest, is satisfying, and the level design, despite minor variations, does not get boring. The music is what you would expect from earlier NES titles, nothing extraordinary but still catchy, albeit a bit boring for our tastes, but that's okay. In terms of gameplay, it's basically a full-fledged platformer, except that it scrolls vertically, something like Kid Icarus. We die after one hit or after three if we manage to collect additional power-ups. There are only two: the first is probably a flying fairy, thanks to which we can simply survive one more hit. The second is a feather, which gives us the ability to glide thanks to a bird that holds our mage by his robes... and also gives us the ability to survive one more hit. Mages can jump and bounce off walls, which is similar in mechanics to another legendary game from the days of flash animation, namely “N” or “N+”. Mages can also shoot waves of energy in four directions. Additionally, each attack can be charged by holding down the attack button. When playing with more than two people, after one player dies, they turn into a ghost and can help the other player who is still alive to complete the level. In this form, the mage can freely float around the level, passing through walls. Instead of destroying enemies, attacks freeze them for a moment. This state can be changed and brought back to life if one of the power-ups I described above is found on the map. Each world tries to stand out from the others, and although these are actually very modest changes, they still keep the game from getting boring. The level design is really excellent and well-balanced, so we can only blame ourselves for our failures. You have to complete the game twice to see the ending... yes, it's the same maneuver as in Ghosts' n Goblins or Air Fortress. I'm not a fan of this solution, but well... it's basically the only drawback of this game in my opinion (my friend didn't mind it). The game is basically flawless, with engaging gameplay, responsive controls, and one of the best (if not the best) co-ops on the system. Just grab it and play. Although for a game that raised €150k, it seems to have little content compared to Full Quiet, which raised practically four times less. But that's just an innocent observation. Outstanding. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Music by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio"
