GetsuFumaDen: Undying Moon, the modernized version of the classic NES game, has been making waves since its launch last year on PC and Nintendo Switch. Now, fans of the game can enjoy it in physical form. The game, set in feudal Japan, has garnered praise from critics and users alike for its dark fantasy setting and captivating gameplay.
For those who have struggled to progress in GetsuFumaDen, the Gamereactor team has put together a guide to help players uncover the game’s secrets and improve their skills. One important tip is to prioritize health. Knowing enemy attack patterns and avoiding damage is crucial, but having a large health bar and potions to heal is equally important. Players can increase their health by using the soul devour ability, which can be upgraded by collecting blue Soul Memories.
Starting with the Health+ upgrade is recommended, as it increases the effectiveness of healing potions. By gradually increasing health, players can reach higher levels of health and better tackle challenges in the game. Defeating bosses will also yield rewards, including souls that can be used to unlock desired effects. Players are advised to carefully consider their choices and only pick up souls that align with their desired upgrades.
Using healing potions wisely is another key strategy. Potions should be used strategically during levels to maximize their effectiveness. Players start with two potions, but can acquire more by reading rock carvings or using the soul devour ability. Planning ahead and leaving a potion in a safe spot can be beneficial, as it allows players to have a backup healing option.
In the game, primary and secondary weapons can have the ability to restore health. One weapon, the Fang of Pursuit: Yellow, can drain life from enemies and provide a constant source of healing. While this technique can be useful, players are encouraged to experiment with different weapons that suit their playstyle.
GetsuFumaDen is a rogue-lite game, which means that players can close the game after death and retry from the last checkpoint. However, this trick comes with a cost, as it will result in the loss of player honor. It is important to strategize and decide when it is worth sacrificing honor to retry a difficult section.
Improving in the game requires collecting resources and scrolls. To ensure progress is not lost upon death, players are advised to invest in upgrades that allow them to bring more resources to the grave. Upgrades such as Spiritual Minerals Recovery can help save valuable resources and ensure a stronger start after respawning.
Taking breaks and returning to the clan base, Getsu’s Manor, after defeating bosses is recommended. This allows players to rest and regroup, as well as carry over materials for upgrades without the risk of losing them in subsequent deaths.
With these tips and strategies, players can enhance their experience with GetsuFumaDen: Undying Moon and delve deeper into its captivating world.
