Nov. 2024

I like to believe I played a handful of Metroidvania games, those with certainly more complex mechanics, and deeper content, and some that are debatably more artsy. Saying this, it is always nice to go back to the basics and play some of the simpler ones, much like I did with Kalinur. Playing through it helped me recap the fundamentals of what makes good Metroidvania games, such as: [*] Enemies with readable attack patterns [*] Platforming challenges to overcome [*] Useful abilities (even if the abilities you earn in this game, like double jump or being able to dash while midair may not seem any special, it is still impactful for how they made the gameplay easier and useful to access places you couldn't otherwise get to) [*] Good progression [*] Maps with easy navigation [*] Rewards for taking optional paths If you're new to Metroidvania games, Kalinur is a solid entry into the genre. P.S. If you have any other ideas of what makes a game a Metroidvania one that I may have missed mentioning, feel free to comment about it.

Oct. 2024

A simple metroidvania/platformer game but represent what the genre all about. I got the game on sale about 50-60 cents USD. it is worthed.

June 2024

if you like a challenge buy this game. if you get past the first level youve done well. to boost your health or weapon it costs 200 in game coins which you collect from killing the enemies. save loads as you progress as it saves your coins. there is only one save point on the level, plus a i think a key needs to be found to progress maybe to the boss ? it will test your might haha.

April 2024

This is a very simple game, honestly, but for the price it's a fun way to kill a few hours. Explore, kill things, acquire upgrades, backtrack for coins. Like I said, simple but still fairly fun.

March 2024

Played on OG steam deck 512 without many issues, sometimes very minor frame dips. Great fun game, good guide available in discussions also. Plays so well, tight fun controls and combat. Highly recommend this gem. Hope the dev keeps the series going. So good!
