I will start this review by stating that this game deserves to be so much more popular than it already is. It has a theme that is very relevant today and the endings I got in both of my playthroughs were equally poignant and enjoyable. The soundtrack is s

Great exploration and platforming, clever powerups, nice visuals and chiptune music. Very fun and just at the right level of difficulty for me. A must for Metroidvania fans.

This is a weaker recommendation than what I originally felt, but it's still a definite recommendation. First the elephant in the room: while technically you don't have to (barring one cutscene), you are likely to play the game twice if you want to see ev

Game starts off with a T.S. Eliot quote and most of the in-game dialogue is done through song lyrics that suggest the devs have fantastic taste. Add the anti-capitalist messaging and the fact that one of the powerup items is a molotov cocktail called 'Di

I really enjoyed the gameplay and figuring out how to complete each area with the various types of seeds. Looks fantastic [url=https://imgur.com/a/Q3Nmt11]on a CRT using CRTEmudriver,[/url] and I was able to play it with one of my NSO SNES controllers wit

There's a room I could only get to by triggering a save point with a bomb, then resetting. I don't know if that was the correct way to do it, but I think it was pretty cool.

Great minivania. Awesome soundtrack, fun unique abilities, super crunchy gameplay. I was all set to write a positive review, but there was one thing i REALLY didn't like that completely turned me off to the game. I was exploring today, and jumped to the

This is an 8 bit metroidvania that plays a lot like simon's quest. However, it is far less linear than simon's quest and indeed has a focus on encouraging sequence breaking. Overall, it is an enjoyable experience for fans of metroidvanias but there are

Super underrated and absolutely solid metroidvania with sequence breaking in mind Axiom Verge / Super Metroid lite

[i]Alruna and the Necro-Industrialists[/i] is a short, compact, old-school metroidvania with an emphasis on exploration. The world design is impressive; there are tons of secrets hidden the walls, and many different teleportation options that make navigat

Very solid metroidvania that's otherwise a little buggy and too on-the-nose with its theme.

Um clássico metroidvania, vulgo, pizza dos videogames bem divertido, ele usa aproveita muito do quesito exploração e uso de "habilidades" de forma criativa em vários lugares, extremamente divertido, e mesmo o final sendo triste porque o capitalismo s

This is a charming time! It doesn't exactly reinvent the Metroidvania but by being less than half as long as an average example of the genre (I easily finished this in a single session) it manages to keep itself from ever feeling stale. The various refere

"Alruna and the Necro-Industrialists" is a nice little metroidvania about a dryad and their tribespeople fighting against an apocalyptic wasteland of rotting overproduction. It definetly has charm, the spritework is colorful, the worldbuilding is quite

The game does so much so right. Unravels in a really cool way, plus the style is real good - I love a lot of the pixel art. And the music. And the level design. And it controls well. Awesome short game, took me ~4 hrs to beat.
