Aggelos is a 16-bit metroidvania powerhouse of game that is heavily inspired by the oldest entries in its genre. It's unique design mixes nostalgic level design and gameplay with legitimately complex and unique combat. The game, while very flawed, is an easy recommend for people who want to be challenged. Overall Rating: 7.6/10 Pros: - Top tier, nostalgic audio and visual design - Very unique combat flow that allows for creative use of the various moves provided to you - Exceptionally, difficult bosses that feel very rewarding to beat - Although heavily inspired by the progenitors of the genre, it successfully carves its own spot in the genre for hardcore metroidvania fans Cons: - Laughably lackluster story, there is not a single story beat that one needs to pay attention to or care about. - Does not seem very prone to casual gameplay as dying is punished extremely harshly (losing XP and, in the case of boss fights, being sent back multiple loading screens away) - Lack of customizable settings, no audio settings whatsoever - Music, although technically very good, is poorly mixed and spikes often - Various bugs, none game breaking, like any indie game ADVICE: I completed my first run of the game on 'Hard' mode. Although I have no regrets in doing so, I will say that this game is exceptionally hard and the final boss almost beat my resolve. If you are not looking for a stressful experience, I recommend staying on Easy.

Nice and polished NES-type game. It's quite simplistic, but has its own charm. It gets more challenging (and little frustrating) after some time, yet nothing that can't be beaten with some practice. Pros: - feel of exploration - upgrades / new weapons - responsive controls - game guides you a little towards next task - secrets and rewards Cons: - castlevania style of jumping back when taken damage (easy to fall from a ledge and you will feel it) - some bosses are massive and flood the screen with their attacks so you don't know how to approach them (little button mashing at the end)

I am giving this a thumbs up but it would be more 50/50 actually positives - tight controls - interesting abilities neutral - music is nice but get's old a bit fast - enemies damage on touch. I personally really don't like this but YMMV negative - The primary way of increasing difficulty between areas seems to be for the enemies to have a lot more health which becomes a grind fest really quick. - some of the normal enemies make it near impossible to get past them without killing them or taking damage. Combined with the first point this get's old fast. - respawn at the beginning of dungeons after death. This wouldn't be a problem if there were shortcuts but often it means backtracking through enemies and difficult jumping passages and losing health in the process. All in all a good game with a few flaws. Get it on discount if you want a nice Metroidvania snack.

This is a game I will come back to every 5-10 years to satisfy that nostalgic itch of retro gaming of the days long past, where I was a young kid playing playing video games for the first time. That's a special feeling for me now as an grown up, and this game reproduces that sensation exceptionally well! This game is a time capsule that embodies the essence of 2D action platforming of those days but without the frustrations of hardcore difficulty, lack of save, and poor quality of life. The pixel graphics, basic story, and chip tunes perfectly match the now retro games of those days. You are the the silent protagonist on a hero quest to save the world from evil. Each area you explore such as the volcano area, sky area, underwater area, and etc... has an associated dungeon/temple where there's a final boss protecting an an elemental orb of power. Collect the orbs, get new cool abilities, and eventually unlock the final area where you fight the ultimate boss at the end. Simple enough, but executed PERFECTLY to capture what it really felt like to play the embodiment of these types of game for the very first time way back when. Every line of text within the game is short and simple and to the point to advance the game. The game can be hard, but you can always brute force your way if you spend time leveling up to be more powerful or purchasing upgraded sword/armor to make progression easier. You can spend some time searching for extra health too. You can also hold a potion in your inventory to essentially have 2 lives. Additionally you also get an "oopsie" herb which will activate automatically when you lose all your health. Basically, if I ever want to re-visit retro 2D action platforming gaming of days long past (duck tails, batman, wonderboy, Zelda, Ninja gadien etc..), I can just load this gem of a game to achieve the combined satisfaction of what I "remember" of playing those games. I say remember because if one replays those games, they are not really good anymore. This game shines by making one feel like they're playing those old school games and having a great time because there are no control frustrations, lack of save, or hardcore difficulties those retro games actually had. There are maybe 1-2 challenges that are a pain, but totally optional. Nice and short too. I think 6 hours for me for 97% completion.

Great game. Horrific gamepad implementation. Would've rated it a negative if it wasn't for the fun gameplay.
