It's a pretty decent metroidvania with some caveats: -After the first first few boss fights you'll be so powerful that you'll just face-tank every boss (I killed the final boss on my first try, with 90% of my health still remaining..), the game would be a lot better if it was more difficult. *EDIT* - Apparently they attempted to address the difficulty, resulting in spongey bosses, so it sounds like one way or another this aspect of the game is going to be a weak point. -On the one hand, you've got a lot of non-linearity for a metroidvania which is great, however one ability in particular make others mostly irrelevant. It was the third or fourth ability I found and it opened up most of the game. ..So later when I got some of the more standard movement upgrades they were not very impactful because their role had been fulfilled with this better ability. - The transformation ability you pick up acts a bit like the Morph Ball in the Metroid games. But it is slower than that, which makes it comparatively cumbersome. -To obtain the big damage upgrades you are required to do some logic puzzles, which is not the sort of thing I like in videogames. I was able to fiddle them for 15 minutes and eventually get lucky to solve them, but I can see someone else just throwing in the towel out of annoyance. It's always dangerous to insert that sort of thing into a different genre.. People buy this seeking a metroidvania, not a puzzle game. The music was a bit light/soft but it added a nice ambience and did actually contain some metal. My favourite piece sounded very different to the others; The market area sounds lively and like it came straight out of Blasphemous 2.

Review After 100% Achievements Killer art direction and music with this one! Bosses are fun, overall a pretty easy metroidvania in terms of the ability to become powerful pretty quickly. If you need to satisfy that Hollow Knight itch, Voidwrought is the game for you. Tons of collectable achievements spread across a very big map. Movement and combat feel amazing after you pick up a few abilities. I really enjoyed the exploration and side quests, even though the game is on the shorter side it still offers a great gameplay experience! Had fun finding all the hidden secrets in this one and I’m just thankful for all the awesome metroidvanias we’ve been getting. This was made by a small dev team of a couple people…well done and I look forward to seeing what comes next. Achievement Count: 69 Time to 100%: ~20hrs Difficulty: β˜…β˜…βœ©βœ©βœ© Genre of Game: 2D Platformer, Metroidvania, Dark Fun Rating: 7/10 Checkout my YT video review or my [url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/twigmastergaming] Steam Curator Page! https://youtu.be/u85K8Y5J8QM

I was expecting a Hollow Knight rip-off and what I got was more than just a Hollow Knight rip-off. I mean that in a good way. Whilst this game did fill in the void that was left behind after waiting for Silksong for a long time, it's Hollow Knight but more movement, easier bosses and more puzzle related mechanics. This game is enough to stand on its own to rival its competitors. I had a great time playing and amazing time 100% it.

I just about 99% Voidwrought recently. (missing one item on the map because of tedious collectable tracking + extremely hidden breakable walls) A very good attempt of Hollow Knight wannable Metrodvania. The art and map design is good overall, but there is some pacing issue + frustration in the beginning~ mid point of the game. One core issue of this game is it's TOO OPEN in the beginning of the game. A good Metrodvania , like Hollow Knight, will start the game with a semi linear progression path , and branch out to open world AFTER they give you sufficient tools to traverse the world. In Hollow Knight's case, the normal pathing you'd take is Green Path -> Mentus Lord , which grant you access to air dash and wall climb . Unless you do some sequence break via poggling , you're are pretty much blocked off venturing into other Biomes UNTIL you go through Green Path and Mentus Lord. Dev make sure you have means to traverse the rest of the world. Voidwrath does not do that. Around 80% of the crucial traversal methods are either optional unlockable , or hidden at the edge of the world . I literally get Wall Climb and Double Jump after I already explored like 95% of the world already. This makes my whole exploration a tedium to get through obstacles because I simply don't have the tools to traverse the world, and lead to lots of needless backtracking. Sometimes I venture into couple biomes without any means to progress and have to just turn back multiple times. Also bosses become too easy later on because our weapon upgrade is too op and our character has way too much health. Healing is kinda weak in this game because you can't replenish the flask easily , and they don't heal much, so in return , dev just gives you so much health you can pretty much trade blows with bosses until they die , which take away all the challenge in the game. Some other minor issues including way too many extremely hidden breakable walls at very random spot with zero hint makes 100% completion super tedious . Charms locking to 3 without any method to expand the slot kills the diversity of the build . We should be able to expand the charm slot later on, but given the bosses are so weak, maybe that's not very necessary, but nevertheless a wasted potential . Relic has some balancing issues too, with around 20% very good and 80% completely pointless. Also no means to upgrade the damage of the relics too = another wasted potential. Overall this game gives me an enjoyable 20 hrs~ adventure , but with some tweaking and polishing, it could have been so much more.
