### 5/5 — 話の分かりにくさ以外は満点

*2026-01-04*

まず、キャラクターやステージのデザインと音楽が非常に良い、これだけでやる価値はあります。物語の大まかな内容としては、人間の科学への過信や、人間の愚かさがテーマとして描かれています。可愛い話かと思ったら、結構暗めな内容が最後まで続きます。マルチエンドで、最初はバッドエンドに行くと思いますが、真エンドに必要なアイテムが、どの章にあるかを知ることができて、チャプターごとにやり直しができるので、真エンドは見やすいと思います。真エンドは、感動するので、ぜひ見てください。

改善点：
ストーリーが分かりにくいので、もう少しテキストを分かりやすく書いたほうが良いと思います。

総評：
購入を迷っている方は買いです！

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-03-11, version 1.3.6*

This game is cool, just a little hard

### 5/5 — 단돈 6600원에 8시간 플레이타임을 가질 수 있는 상급 퀄리티 플랫포머 게임.

*2024-12-25*

Rayark답게 게임의 퀄리티는 뛰어나다. 이 작품은 Rayark가 유통한 것이긴 하지만 아트북을 보니 같은 대만의 개발사에서 만든 듯. 나온지 5년이 다 된 게임이지만 그럼에도 움직임이 부드럽고, 도트인데도 배경이 아름답다. MO라는 슬라임은 귀염뽀짝해서 인형으로 가지고 싶을 정도다. 게임 특징은 슈퍼마리오처럼 스피디한 느낌이 아니라 퍼즐형 게임이라 퀴즈를 풀고, 보스전에서 피지컬을 요구하는 방식에 가깝다. 단, 점프가 매우매우 빈번하게 일어나는 게임이라 점프의 정밀조작이 중요한데, 터치방식인 폰과 패드류는 좀 어려운 감이 있다. 2스테이지 보스전이 특히 그러한데, 점프를 하다보면 약간만 틀어져도 바닥을 벗어나 가시로 돌진하기 때문에 혈압이 오른다. 그래도 패턴 자체가 어려운 편은 아니라 몇번 트라이하면 눈에 익혀진다.
한글화는 우수하다. 스토리는 신선하지만 눈치가 있는 사람이라면 쉽게 예상될 정도다. 살짝 아쉬운 점은 과거 기록에 만화가 나오는데 번역까지 잘 되었지만 너무 흐릿해서 보기가 어려웠다.
종합하자면, 6600원으로 즐길 수 있는 최고의 가성비 게임 중 하나로 자리매김한 것 같다.

### 5/5 — Gerçekten güzel oyun

*2024-08-15, version 1.3.6*

Bu oyunu küçükken anneme babama yalvara yalvara almıştım ama oyunda bir yerde takılı kalıp öbür arkadaşın dediği gibi yorum atmıştım. Şimdi büyüyünce bu oyun aklıma geldi ve indirmek istedim. Oyunu bitirdim ve gerçekten çok güzeldi. Bana bu anımı hatırlatıp nostalji yaşattı bu oyun. Ayrıca öbür arkadaşın yazdığı yorumdan sonra baya bir alınmıştım. Küçüktüm o zaman. Ama şu anda öbür arkadaşın yorumuna gülerek bakıyorum.

### 5/5 — Outstanding!

Honestly MO: Astray is one of the best mobile games I have ever played. It’s an outstanding game and needs a lot more love. The story is so intriguing and the setting is so bleak but interesting I loved it! The graphics and music were top notch and the gameplay was exciting and challenging. Definitely worth getting!

### 5/5 — Best game i have ever played

*2023-06-17*

This game is an absolute work of art, from the story, to the writing, to the gameplay, its astonishing. 11/10 game, there is nothing i would change about this game the mechanics of the game are so simple yet still scary without jumpscares, i love how you can read the memories of the monsters you control and it gives more mystery to the game.
i love the art style too, pixel art is one of my favorites, it gives the feeling its 2d yet 3d at the same time
overall, there is nothing i would change about this game and thats why i rated it 5 stars.

### 3/5 — 尚可

*2023-04-25, version 1.3.6*

手機操控不優的魂系遊戲

### 1/5 — 手感不好

*2022-11-26, version 1.3.6*

移動和跳躍的操作容易混肴，操作面很不親切。建議還是快點優化，不要讓大家失去對本土廠商的信心
