If you can get past the atrocious English translation and voice acting, you'll find a good metroidvania. I don't want to mock anyone, English is not my primary language and I make a lot of mistakes myself. But here the translation ranges from hilariously bad to almost game breaking unintelligible. A worst job only Google Translate can do. Beside that there are many inconsistencies. You'll seek in vain the Discarded Diary Page because it just became Abandoned Diary Page in your inventory. And it's not a singular case.

I have not seen such a poor text translation since Final Fantasy Tactics on PSX, and the voice acting is pretty horrible. Its like watching lips in a bad dub of a 70s martial arts film. This makes the story difficult to parse, or it would if there was much depth to it. There's also graphics issues if you play it at 3840x2160 where the load screen and other overlays were clearly designed for a smaller screen. Despite all that, its fun. Its metroidvania light, which helps, but at its core, the gameplay is just fun. There are some frustrating opponents, but by and large its just good times.

Evil Genome is game style of metroidvania, rpg and 2.5/3D side-scrolling, that look pretty cool and insteresting idea. Pros: Controls: is nice flow, there no problem and you connect your controller of ps4 or xbox with no problem (I did test my own) Graphics: is great but I feel the particles and render is look weak and need better optimization for pc mid gear because sometimes my pc Nvidia GTX 750 TI is doing skip and lag, Is only lag if you play borders. The graphics is good but need better optimization. Sound, effect, and music: Those sound look good, effect too and music is pretty solid and very good there no way I hate I think i like all Character: they look pretty solid there some characters pretty cool like monkey boss and robot giant. etc.... Lachesis (the girl you play with her) she have lot style to do like weapon, sword, and skills you gonna learn a lot with her because is not easy to learn with her but still she look cool Time: this game is make hour to beat this game if you are new of metroidvania or this game but don't matter if you like play game with long time then this is you because you have to do lot quests and missions. Cons: Story: The story is doesnt well to tell what happen, I mean have story but I feel the story will tell you like 70% because there some misse of happen and stuff. but look ok... Bugs: There a lot of bug sometime the enimes appear and you can't hit him, the barrier you have skill is not worth because the final boss have laser is does hit you when you did use barrier early, sometime barrier protect sometimes don't, the bosses of pattern is glitch, good example the Aircraft grey rilfing of the first pattern should be rocket but he does disappear and do other patterns that looks weird, not only this boss, almost all boss does "pattern disappear " there lot of bug Translations : there some text are not translations example Return base is not translation and show text as Chines and Dimensional Bag is showing text as chines, there some errors grammatical and phases. also achievement complete easy mode, you mean Normal mode, there lot erros translations. Conclusion This game looks pretty cool, is very long to beat and there a lot stuff to do if you are fan-Metroidvania and long to beat the game then this is for you but carefully the story is not very well and their lot glitches and bugs and graphics need better there some people have issues lag or skip or freeze. 7/10 My english is not my main I know is bad but I hope my reviews is helpfull

Simple and fun For a 17$ game, it lives up to it's name, it's not exactly a metroidvania, but who cares. The game is fun, animations are solid, story is not that bad and it makes you keep playing to get those sweet upgrades for your character. Pros: Combat is nice Story OK Solid animations Graphics for a ''metroidvania'' are pretty good Maps/level design is OK Attetion to detail of your suroundings is really good Cons: Literally ''Made in China'', huge amount of grammatical errors Voices are poorly implemented, the MC seems like an un-emotional person Some skills are kind of OP *cough* shotgun stun *cough* *cough* Don't know what to play? Want a cheap and fun game? Evil Genome is a solid choice. 8/10

Decent Metroidvania, maybe one of the best of 2.5D, although not so many of that. Cons: - Bad voice acting. - Many NPCs/talking, related to the point above, with needlessly simple conversation. - Horrible HUD and menues, all over the place, jumps up and down when scrolling through. - Too many items, most of them useless, don't know if you can sell/get rid of them, didn't reach that point yet, also the dissassble function is confusing, it is more like downgrade and recycle used materials. - Confusing skill tree, why not simple tables like borderlands, also semi linear, forcing you to unlock moves you don't need to access the ones you want. - Some clunky animations - The world looks nice, but environment collisions and some platforms could be better. - Lost potentional for some enemies interaction (animation wise). Pos: - A metroidvania - Graphics are decent, although I don't like the worn out look, no AA which looks horrible. - The fights are satisfying, the basic attacks and dodge feels great, although tripping enemies is not, as they turn invisible while down. - Both melee and ranged (named remote for some reason) feels useful and somewhat balanced.
