Dec. 2024

Its really good! Big map, interesting movement abilities Items never start feeling "useless" or "outdated" like they might in some metroidvanias Also that music... *chef's kiss*

Nov. 2024

the first word that comes to mind with this game is "overcooked." it has a nasty habit of taking things one step too far. things that two-shot when they should three-shot. bgm with one-too-much variation which pushes it from intriguing to annoying. obscured paths and pickups that should be completionist things but are either required for basic progression or are required to not have boss fights be a level beyond the expected unfair. personally, I prefer my retro-styled games to have a little more quality of life to it. a little more opt-in to the slightly-more-annoying-than-desired challenges, puzzle bosses, and wtf is with the chance-to-ignore-damage armor upgrades? that ain't retro. that's just... confusing but I appreciate what it did. it tried things, some things worked, others didn't (for me). I'm sure everything that rubbed me the wrong way would be someone else's jam. and even though there were a good half-dozen times I almost uninstalled, it was a retro metroidvania that, if not in my top 10, would still be an approve

July 2024

I gave this game a thumbs up, because it has all the elements of a great metroidvania: interesting level design, fun exploration, good puzzles, cool combat. I truly believe, that it is the strongest metroidvania that I played since Hollow Knight. !!HOWEVER!! Late bosses are sadistic in my opinion! I consider myself a decent player (I beat many of the harder metroidvanias and all the Dark Souls games), but I quit this game because I couldn't bother with one of the bosses (having all the upgrades that were available at the time). So, only purchase if you're a crazy good player, or if you don't mind practicing boss battles for hours on end.

Exccelentes controles y pixel art, la musica puede llegar a ser un poco desesperante en algunos niveles y los efectos de sonido quitando el del portal estan justos. Bastante retador con puzzles que no son tan directos, pero sobre todo enemigos sin piedad y jefes al estilo de Sigma de megaman x, no lleva al jugador de la mano (sin embargo tiene ayudas como el adivino y las piastas que son suficientes), si buscas un buen reto es una gran opcion, si quieres algo mas casual este juego puede ser de hecho mas o menos sencillo si sigues una guia, un juego para todos los amantes del plataformeo en 2D. Si buscas un metroidvania de cepa, tal vez no sea para ti, pero si solo quieres un aderezo de metroidvania encima de la accion y plataformas es una gran opcion ya que segun obtienes nuevos items y power ups es facil hacer backtracking de zonas que no pudiste explorar antes.

This one takes a while to get going (a few hours/areas in), but once it does it's a good time. It's quite long, too. I'd say most of the friction in the game is navigation/exploration, with some puzzles and boss fights. I never really felt like I didn't know where to go, but the in-game hint system is there if you want to make sure you're on the critical path. The boss fights get challenging, with some nice variety between cheese-able, puzzle bosses, and plain dodge-and-attack (fortunately less of the latter, as it's extremely common these days). I wouldn't say it's a must-play, but if you watch the trailer and think this is your sort of thing, you'll enjoy it. Just give it like 3-5 hours to warm up.
