May 2024
For an indie Metroid-like, this game mostly does its job. It sets the unsettling alien world vibe well in a pixel art fashion that relies mostly on its menacing enemies and changing surroundings to set the scene. With a plethora of bosses of varying difficulty which can be overcome with the different upgrades which are found throughout the map, it checks the boxes for all the expected steps from this type of game. The question is on how it plays. Unfortunately the answer isn't as good as one would expect. From glitchy platforms and hitboxes which can be taken as an advantage for speedrunners, to enemies being placed in really annoying spots and bosses taking way too many hits, the result can certainly end up being more on the frustrating side. In a way, it comes off as lacking enough time in the oven. Regardless, the game's fine enough to be recommendable for anyone still craving for Metroid-like games, even if there are better alternatives on the market.
