Once the toll of an ominous bell is heard, the village is soon threatened by a demon invasion.

SHOULD I PLAY ULTROS? Definitely play it, especially if you like a good adventure with a unique look. Ultros dives into a vast alien world that’s equally strange and enchanting. I got to explore vibrant caverns and alleyways, fight nasty beasts and tendril-flinging monsters, and uncover mysteries about an ancient, demonic being entrapped inside this realm. It’s a singularly great title and my favorite Metroidvania I’ve ever played.

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it! As the fourth game in the A League of Legends Story series of spin-offs, Convergence continues the trend of extremely polished single-player games that greatly build up the characters and lore of Riot’s eternally popular League of Legends. This time the genre being experimented with is Metroidvania, and the star of the show is Ekko, League’s resident genius inventor-slash-time traveler. As it turns out, these are also the perfect focuses to showcase the industrial city of Zaun, a steampunk dystopia that’s one of the most fascinating locales in

SHOULD I PLAY WORLDLESS? Give this one a miss. Worldless has some ideas that are neat in theory, but frequently end up feeling like they were implemented by someone unfamiliar with the concept of video games. Particularly aggravating is the combat, which stops the game’s free exploration for a stodgy back and forth turn-based battle system. Combine that with frustrating traversal puzzles in which errors drop you back to the beginning, and this beautiful abstract trip turns into a slog that just isn’t worth making. For a better version of this experience, try

Metroidvanias are one of our favorite genres here at TapTap HQ. We play all of them, from gorgeous games like Hollow Knight and Afterimage to pixel-art masterpieces like Momodora: Moonlit Farewell to just plain weird stuff like Doomblade. Despite checking out everything the genre has to offer, though, we've never seen a game quite like this one. The trailer above is for Ultros, a self-described "psychedelic Metroidvania" on its way from Swedish developer Hadoque. The game sees players crash-land on the Sarcophagus, which is described as, uh, "a giant, space-drifting, cosmic uterus holding an ancient demonic being." Huh. Yeah, that's pretty weird!

The combat system in Blasphemous is a perfect blend of Souls-like difficulty and classic Metroidvania action. Every enemy requires timing, strategy, and quick reflexes. Button mashing? That’s a death wish. Instead, you must dodge, parry, and strike with precision. 🩸 Parrying is key – A well-timed block not only saves you but also stuns enemies for a devastating counterattack. 🩸 Brutal finishers – Once weakened, enemies can be executed in gruesome, beautifully animated finishers.

Enjoy my experience through this awesome platformer.  I really love the look and feel especially when it comes to the boss battles.  Very fun!

You know guys we all love metroidvania games but you know how this genre started and what was the first metroidvania game is, so let's Go in time machine and check the past of metroidvania Genre.

Hey Tap Tap family! Most Platformering games these days focus on flashy visuals and fast paced action, they lost there classic nostalgic feel that we all want, from this genre I always want something with a challenge a game that takes me back to the golden age of 2D side-scrollers I want to feel the time of Nes, SNES, Sega Game Gear and Sega Genesis where every jump and attack matters for us. And if you're like me and love classic action-platformers and want to feel the same experience that we feel in 1900s then this game is for you, this game will remind you your real gaming skills, that you forget. This game revives the retro feel of old-school platformers while adding modern improvements, giving us an experience that’s both challenging and awsome.

While it may have been weak and lacking in some areas. It was definitely something that held me over until more games are released. In essence, the game incorporates many components from both games, to the point that they leave a lot to be desired; nonetheless, it remains fascinating and enjoyable. Consider following me on my other Social Media platforms for, Giveaways and more:

"Dead Cells" is an action-platformer game that melds stunning artwork, game-altering weaponry and gadgets, and lethal maneuvers to construct an immersive narrative. The essence of the game centers around its intricate interplay of risk and reward, with each new zone unveiling artifacts, weapons, or skills that both entice and aid in the quest to reveal the profound enigma of the Dead Cells. While the placement and progression of levels establish the game's structural foundation, the layout, enemy arrangements, and ever-shifting items breathe life into its core. Every playthrough varies sufficiently to sustain tension and unpredictability, defying the assumption that we've seen it all after countless runs. We are still determining the surprises that await, whether a well-timed assortment of equipment or shiny new treasures gleaming in the subsequent round.

This action packed metroidvania looked like casual platfomer, but oh i was wrong. All the levels having hop 'n' bop combos really hooked me in. To beat all the bosses and find all the secrets are amazing and worthy. Even how little story there was all the bitts of it makes the whole experience better because it's so funny.

It is a 2D metroidvania set in a fantasy oriental world with evil spirits and monsters; it recalls the classics "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice", "Vanillaware", "Odin Sphere", "Muramasa" and "Dragon's Crown". We will take on the role of a skilled exorcist against the chaotic world of evil spirits and monsters, moved by their spell, to make our way through brutal fights! From the beginning we will have a sword at our disposal to execute demons and monsters with tactical combat mechanics, that is, to break the enemy's posture you have to start inflicting real damage even by tackling him, with a dodge, from behind. The title focuses a lot on parrying, in fact, the combat is less basic than most metroidvania games. Most of the fights are based on parrying/attacking/and then on dispersing, which is an interesting mechanic like Soul Rea Er that absorbs souls.  It's almost like a more oriental version of Blasphemous, but again less deep. The traversal isn't difficult, but the game is all about the bosses and trying to find faster ways to kill them! There are about 25 bosses to fight, some of which are quite challenging in order to get power-ups. The action design was done frame by frame with the typical hand-drawn Chinese ink painting style.

The game has a feature with manual or auto attacking upon contact, which gives variety to each people who has a different kind of playstyle to one. I believe they also have a promo for pre-registering the game, so I would really recommend this game because the gameplay is awesome! The graphics can be a bit on the 8-bit side, but the animation really gives it off. That makes it really addictive to play.

SHOULD I PLAY NEVER GRAVE: THE WITCH AND THE CURSE? This is a demo you should definitely check out. Never Grave: The Witch and The Curse is a 2D action game that combines the best elements of some of my favorite genres. It’s an exploration-heavy Metroidvania with awesome traversal mechanics, but it’s also a roguelite with tons of power-ups to collect. It even has light base-building mechanics, so I always had lots of projects to work on between runs. I had a blast with the demo, and I can’t wait to play the full game.

If you played the original Blasphemous anytime since it came out in 2019, then you know it was a disturbingly bloody little game that proved that pixel-art graphics can still bring the gore and grossness. And if you played it, you'll also know that on top of being filled with messed up enemies and cutscenes, it was also an extremely good Metroidvania. But whether you played the first game or not, you should take note of the impending release of
