  • gameplay7 mentions

    The gameplay in Evilmorph revolves around a unique mechanic where players defeat enemies to absorb their abilities, which is essential for solving platforming puzzles. While this concept is praised for its creativity, some players feel that the execution falls short, with issues like screen scrolling detracting from the overall experience. The game is recommended for those who enjoy challenging and somewhat sadistic gameplay.

    • “Love the main mechanic involved in this.”
    • “Evilmorph is a nice, fascinating platformer with unique game mechanics.”
    • “Buy only if you like sadistic gameplay.”
    • “When I got to the gameplay part, I really noticed that something felt odd, and figured it was the screen scrolling animation.”
    • “The main mechanic is that you kill an enemy and turn into that enemy, gaining its abilities until you kill a new enemy. This leads to some platforming puzzles where you have to kill the enemies in the right order and use their abilities while you figure out how to get through the stages.”
  • story2 mentions

    The game's story is not a focal point, with many users suggesting that it should not be played for its narrative. Additionally, the English translation is considered subpar, but this is deemed less significant given the game's lack of emphasis on storytelling.

    • “The retro soundtrack combined with nice pixel graphics creates a charming experience.”
  • optimization1 mentions

    The game's optimization has been criticized for its erratic framerate, which stutters frequently even on high-end machines, significantly detracting from the overall experience and performance, particularly for this genre.

    • “The worst of all is the erratic framerate that keeps stuttering every couple of seconds, even on a high-end machine. For most games, especially in this genre, this is simply a death sentence.”
    • “The optimization is so poor that it feels like the game is constantly fighting against the hardware, leading to a frustrating experience.”
    • “Despite having a powerful setup, the game struggles to maintain a stable framerate, making it nearly unplayable at times.”
