Very decent metroidvania, but nothing more. Visual style is, probably, the strongest side of the game. It's beautiful. Story is kinda okay, but nothing special. It's simple and predictable, but good enough. Music just exists. Just simple ambient tracks. Yes, they kinda fit each location but they're not catchy and I don't have an urge to add any of them to my playlist like I added almost each track from HK. Also voice acting in eng is dull, not even all of the dialogues are fully voiced. Map is not that large, and in this case it's probably good because exploring doesn't feel rewarding. Lack of interesting loot. Gameplay and battle system are fun. Bosses are decent. The most annoying thing to me was very poor variability of enemies. You meet the same enemies in almost every location, that is the weakest thing, in my opinion. Overall, if you are not a metroidvania fan, this game is probably not for you and you will eventually get bored and drop it. If you are completely new to the genre, it's considerable option as it's pretty simple and beginner-friendly.
Pros Beautifully Vivid Art Style Story: Nothing Gripping, But Not Terrible Music Soundtrack That Goes From Tranquil to Intense Steam Deck/Linux Friendly (with frame dips as low as 40FPS in some of the larger levels of the game when playing on Deck.) Voice Acting: Better In The Original Chinese Gameplay Mechanics: Average, But Fun You Can Pet 12 Cats! Accessibility Features for Story Quests (But none for hidden items) Cons: When reading the dialogue, sometimes the names don't change when a different character speaks. I recently purchased this during the Steam Summer Sale after watching a trailer for it and thinking "Yes, this looks like fun!", and 33 hours later I finished it! Achievements and all! The game did a good job living up to my expectations! The story feels pretty generic, but the world exploration and fighting make up for it. The fighting mechanics aren't anything special, but the combos can be pretty fun when you're surrounded by a bunch of enemies. I listened to both the English and the Chinese audio and found the Chinese version conveyed emotions better, whereas the English version would best be described as "Meh." If you like to collect Metroidvania type games, this is one to consider. I rate it 4 out of 5 Moon Fruit.
I’ve been having a great time with Awaken - Astral Blade. As an older gamer that started out on the NES playing Metroid and Castlevania, this game has been a blast! Astral Blade is an awesome 2.5D platformer with great graphics and a soundtrack to match. There are plenty of abilities to unlock and secrets to find. I have over 20 hours on this game, all on the Steamdeck.
Solid metroidvania style game. Enemy difficulty weirdly spikes in the mid game and then reduces down to 'trivial' in the late game. There is a LOT of GRIME-esque precision platforming, but there is an option to make that skippable if that's not your thing. ~18 play hours gets you 100% and both endings.
