I have to say, I love the overall aesthetic of Curses 'n Chaos to death, but others are right on the money about this game needing some revisions. It's a game I revisit often because I want to get through it, but it really feels like a game that's built with 2 Player Co-Op in mind.
It really feels like a mix of things spike up the difficulty of this game immediately, like the very small and brief hitboxes, waves of enemies from both sides at virtually the same rate in both single player and co-op, or the funky item storage system that isn't typically all that helpful when in some cases it's crucial.
It gets even worse as things progress and enemies take multiple hits while you really don't grow much in power, leading to a lot of enemies steadily clogging up the screen until you pretty much have no way to deal with all of them in time.
I love Tribute Games a lot, and they really knock things out of the park when it comes to quality, but I would really like to see this title revisited with a small Quality of Life patch to rebalance some things, because as I see it, this is a game pretty much built for two very experienced players or any solo player who's looking for a difficult and frustrating time. The single-player experience pretty much runs off the same design as what two players should be expected to deal with, and it really should be addressed.
I would really like to change my review here, but it's been almost 10 years since this game has gotten any love. I understand it was likely an early project for Tribute Games, but the proper tweaks could turn this game from an 'okay' game people put down quickly to a 'good' or even 'great' game that people actually want to play through and finish.
It doesn't need to be a hand-holdy game that a toddler could finish, so probably not all of these revisions are needed at the same time, but it should at least feel a bit less one-sided to play through a single-player campaign against the AI. The game really ought to have an optional 2P mode, instead of things being the other way around.
Should these revisions ever be made, I will gladly change this to a glowingly positive review. :)
"Curses 'N Chaos" is a challenging low-res pixelated arcade beat-em-up starring two fistfighters in a classic fantasy setting trying to get rid of the mark of death that an evil warlock has put on them.
The spritework and animation is really gorgeous, the tunes are catchy - alas - the sound could use a little more bang.
Your moveset is VERY limited and hits must be quite precise, for you cannot stun enemies and some airborne baddies require on-spot-timing to hit. Thus gameplay revolves around memorising the different enemy spawns and patterns and taking them out as fast and as efficient as possible while picking up items that can give you an edge, but are usable only to a certain extent (plus you can only carry 1 to 2, or you "juggle" them to keep them from disappearing). Also the whole ordeal is to create an antidote for your curse with said items and gold along the way (with a peculiar crafting system) which can get a little grindy.
These "caveats" (no offense) makes the game somewhat niche and explains the polarising reception, but I found myself enjoying the challenge, carving my way through the different waves per level, minimizing damage and hoping for a potion drop. Best of luck for you if you want to 100% it (i.e. score-run it) for you have to be nigh perfect to hold all these no-hit chain-combos!
Unique fun, even if it is a tough pill to swallow.
