About Mizuki and the Crimson Moon
Mizuki and the Crimson Moon is a 2D action platformer where you play as a kitsune named Mizuki who teleports through yokai-infested landscapes to save her village. Developed by CritsOnAStick, it launched on PC in late 2026. The game blends fast-paced platforming with supernatural themes, letting you use Mizuki’s teleport ability to bypass obstacles and chain attacks. Set in a stylized, ghost-filled Japan, it focuses on single-player adventures with tight controls and colorful environments. Think of it as a mix of clever level design and mythological flair, aimed at players who enjoy responsive movement and light combat.
Gameplay
The core of Mizuki’s gameplay is her teleport ability. You’ll spam the teleport key to dash between platforms, dodge enemies, or set up combo hits. Each level forces you to master timing, teleport too late and you’ll fall; too early and you’ll miss a jump. Combat revolves around positioning: circle behind foes to stagger them, then chain teleports to keep pressure. The single-player campaign spans 8-10 hours, with levels escalating from simple platforming to battles against large yokai. Controls are snappy but require practice; the teleport mechanic becomes essential for both exploration and boss fights. There are no multiplayer modes, but the game’s focus on fluid movement and enemy variety keeps sessions engaging.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate Mizuki 88% with 68% of 572 players finishing the story. Average playtime is 9.5 hours, and 72% of players earned 50+ achievements. Community moods lean “focused” and “curious,” though 28% described the final act as “overly repetitive.” One user wrote, “The teleport combos are fun at first, but the last dungeon feels like the same fight loop.” Critics praised the art style (“90s anime meets modern polish”) but noted underwhelming enemy design. Early adopters gave it 4.3/5, with 82% saying it “delivers what it promises.” Completion rates drop 15% in the third chapter due to stiff difficulty spikes.
PlayPile's Take
Mizuki and the Crimson Moon is best for fans of precise platforming and kitsune lore. At $19.99, it’s a budget pick with 50+ achievements and tight mechanics. The teleport system shines in mid-game levels but falters in repetitive boss fights. If you value creative movement over deep combat, it’s worth a try. Skip it if you prefer large worlds or complex narratives. For 8-10 hours of solid platforming with a supernatural twist, it hits the mark.
