Oct. 2024

I wish there was a neutral or mixed option, because there's plenty I liked and disliked here. There's great visuals and music, the platforming and puzzling is solid, and the story, while somewhat confusing and escalating in stakes very rapidly, is at least rousing you with it as it unfolds. But the game forgets halfway through that it's supposed to be a metroidvania and stops giving any new abilities, the combat ranges from meh to bad, and most of the bosses have annoying gimmicks and poor telegraphs. Despite this I still think it's worth playing, just maybe lower your expectations a bit and wait for a sale.

A 2D Linear Metroidvainia with a emphasis on the worldbuilding and story. This game is a solo dev project that took a quite a long time to make and I don't think the dev plans on doing anything this big again. I don't really have much more to say about it sadly. It's not anything outstanding gameplay-wise but it has story and characters I enjoy with a good artstyle and sometimes that's good enough to make it one of my favorite games of all time. As a Metroidvania you aren't really sequence breaking rather than you can back track to talk to people and get things at certain points in the story but not others. So really the best tell for if you would like this isn't to read a review describing it but to just look at the screenshots and maybe a gameplay video of the first section. The game is pretty much exactly what it looks like other than the fact that it packs alot of dialouge and story in, more so than is usual for this genre.

The religious scripture in this game has a quote from Charles Manson lol. I went in expecting a metroidvania. I got that plus a puzzle platformer and a story about people taking religion too far. 10/10 would destroy the space worm again

Jan. 2024

An excellent MetroidVania-esque platformer, with more of a puzzle focus and less maze-like than other MetroidVanias. The bosses, for the most part, are peak boss design, imo.

This game will always have a special place in my heart. Spoilers: Call me softhearted, but Royal and Black deserved a better fate. Also screw you Elro.
