User reviews & Ratings

Absolutely adore this game. Don't let the simple graphics and slow initial movement fool you, this game has some of the hardest and best designed precision platforming in the genre (the really difficult ones are optional).

It's a fun little metroidvania with a few basic issues. Fist off, you get some good mobility abilities early enough, including double jump and dash, although wall jump is a bit too late in the game. Also the game has good difficulty especially with the bosses, as you need to learn patterns and some took a good amount of time to beat. But the game doesn't usually feel unfair outside of a few like the ice boss with limited mobility due to sliding and spikes all over. The game is also decent length with tons of unlockables and powers. The problems occur intermittently throughout. First off, you can toggle on map unlocking through traversal instead of having to use shrines like the dumb pointless hollow knight system which is appreciated. But the map has almost too many branching paths. Every new area you go into has 3 paths off that and 2 of those paths have 2 paths off that. The problem is most of them are blocked by abilities or are annoyingly gated. So you have to get a random power later and remember to come back, although these paths aren't marked at all. It will just show a door not gone through or an area explored, but no signage to remember to come back, and I likely missed a ton of stuff. Yes you can use your own markings but thats an annoying system when the game should do that for you. Also because most of the unlocks you get are relics like hollow knight, but you can only have like 4 equipped, especially the good ones, it feels pointless as you'll mostly collect ones that may be helpful but aren't better than what you have, which negates most exploring. I got 2 damage upgrades and 2 health bubble upgrades throughout the entire game, so most of the items were relics I won't use which is anti-climactic. The game also tries too hard to be a hardcore platformer but some of the mechanics don't work consistently, especially those involving the spin jump, which many other reviews have mentioned. It is nice theres extra hardcore platforming areas for ladybugs or celestial doors that aren't required, but its annoying theres so many of them making some paths just useless if you want to skip them. The story isn't much to write home about, just some basic dialogue with mushrooms about getting up to surface or saving stuff. But the game is overall a solid MV and better than many, even if the game does have some flaws with the design and execution. 8/10.

Take a bit of Hollow Knight, mix it with Celeste, and you get Lone Fungus. It does not reach the levels of excellence of either game, but it is a great game on its own! Playing it on Hard provided a good challenge, but this game has one of the best custom difficulty options I have seen. You can tailor the difficulty to your own preference. The game is very open ended, focusing more on platforming than combat. The platforming is great, with many optional challenges to tackle using unique abilities. The combat is good, nothing revolutionary, but has many options to customize your preferred combat style. Overall a great metroidvania, and I am looking forward to the sequel soon!
