Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure is a fun, old-style 3D action platform game that many players love for its cute and nostalgic feel. People enjoy its colorful world, funny story, and the main character Parin, who has a lively and playful personality.
One of the best parts of the game is its combat. You use a drill to fight enemies, and when you attack in time with the music, it feels smooth and exciting. The music by Nihon Falcom is also very energetic and makes battles more fun.
Players also like the small details in the game, like breaking objects in the environment, solving simple puzzles in dungeons, and collecting cute hats that give special powers like resistance to elements.
However, the game also has some problems. The camera can feel awkward and hard to control, especially during boss fights or in tight spaces, which can sometimes cause unfair hits or falls. Later in the game, levels can feel repetitive because you often go through similar areas again.
Another issue is the ranking system. To get the best rewards and the true ending, you need to get very high scores (S-rank) on every stage, which can feel too strict and difficult for some players.
Overall, it is a charming and enjoyable game, but it also has some old design issues that may frustrate modern players.
