What players say

Players describe Quarion as a short, challenging metroidvania with tight platforming inspired by Celeste. They consistently note the first three bosses are recolored with identical attack patterns, and the bubble item often sends the player into spikes. Some find the challenge fair, while others call the boss design sloppy and the difficulty curve uneven.
