I had high hopes for this game as it downloaded onto my PS3, but sadly this was not to be a great game experience. The game is essentially a side-scrolling fighting game, with the occasional use of magic thrown in to jazz up the tired formula. You play the role of a young woman who enters a world of magic and has to fight her way through to the final of six long, tiring and repetitive levels.Crescent Pale Mist

As always on games, no matter how much I think I will know them, I played through the tutorial first. It looked promising, with witty dialogue and a nice simple control system that even I could understand. Your character had a likable personality and I was beginning to think that there was a possibility that this game would be a pleasure to play, which, considering the low price, would be impressive in itself. Sadly, there is a bug in the tutorial which stops you being able to complete it, perhaps a sign of the disappointment that was to come

Once into the main game itself, my opinion quickly changed. The side scrolling aspect works Crescent Pale Mistwell, with the added ‘dimension’ of moving forward and backwards at points. For some reason, the game makes out that this is a great and new idea, but I remember being able to do this on some of the earliest side-scrollers I played.

The enemies you face range from simple birds with next to no health and strange globular blobs who don’t last much longer, to ghouls who can only be attacked with magical weapons. Some enemies, those aforementioned ghouls as an example, are mind-numbingly boring to defeat, with the player having to repeat the same move over and over and over again as you slowly wear away at their health.

 Our Rating for Crescent Pale Moon (PSN)
2.5
Replay
Minimal replay value, perhaps to collect missing items, but I suspect few people will do so.
6.0
Graphics
Acceptable 2.5D graphics, nothing special but not disappointing either.
4.5
Sound
Sound effects are basic but work within the game, no voice acting as all subtitled
3.0
Gameplay
Repetitive enemies and frustrating levels, not a great gameplay experience.
0.0
Multiplayer
None to speak of beyond an online leaderboard.
3.5
Overall
A game that could have been so much more but falters too often for its own good.
