Momodora is an adventure and platform game where you have to venture inside a mysterious temple, controlling young Isadora. Her goal is to recover a legendary artifact capable of bringing her mother back to life.
In order to get to the end of the temple and find the artifact (and, perhaps, another surprise or two) your character will have to pass tons of scenes that are full of all types of dangers: jumps, traps, enemies... luckily, she has a number of weapons that she can use during her adventure.
The game will constantly remind you of the classic free game Cave Story, which is of the same genre. This is true not just in terms of the graphics (although they are so similar they could be siblings) but also in terms of the gameplay, because even though this game has less exploration and fewer adventures than Cave Story, the combat and the platforms are almost identical.
Momodora is a very fun adventure and platform game, which you have to play if you want to understand the story of Momodoro 2, which offers a similar but much more extensive story.
