Super Mombo Quest | Hop 'n' bop metroidvania

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.

You’ve got to check out this trippy sci-fi Metroidvania from Hotline Miami’s artist

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.

'Crypt of the NecroDancer' review

I love this game so much I thought about changing the review into something more legible. 1-4 alpha is my favorite track but tbh the whole soundtrack slaps especially with the shopkeepers. Ps Nintendo has a collab with Zelda Cadence of Hyrule.

One of the best modern Metroidvanias gets an even better sequel - Blasphemous 2 Quick Review

SHOULD I PLAY BLASPHEMOUS 2? This is the easiest “YES” I’ve given in ages, unless you can't handle how nasty it is. Blasphemous 2 is a sequel to what was already one of the best and most memorable Metroidvanias of the modern era. But much more than just retreading the exact same territory, this sequel builds wisely on the strengths of the first game. It’s not just a long adventure and not just a return to the disturbing, gothic world of 2019’s

[SPOILERS] BŌ THE HOLLOW KNIGHT & ORI LOVE CHILD

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:

Vohenn | Android

Developed by Tessa, Voheen is a captivating 2D pixel-art metroidvania that blends a dark atmosphere, cryptic storytelling, and deep exploration within a mysterious and decaying world. The game focuses on immersive environments, skill-based combat, and classic progression mechanics that fans of the genre will truly appreciate. 1) STORYLINE: The story of Voheen takes players into a kingdom on the brink of collapse, a world consumed by a dark force that has corrupted every form of life. You play as a lone warrior tied to an ancient prophecy, awakening without memories in a devastated land. As the journey unfolds, it becomes clear that the protagonist is connected to a primordial power capable of restoring balance… or completely destroying what remains of the world. Exploration leads you through forgotten ruins, corrupted forests, labyrinthine dungeons, and abandoned cities. The narrative is delivered in a fragmented way: cryptic dialogues, item descriptions, and encounters with enigmatic NPCs gradually reveal the kingdom’s tragic past and the hero’s true role within it. The deeper you progress, the more unsettling truths emerge about the nature of the darkness and the sacrifice required to stop it.

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.

This might be the trippiest Metroidvania we've ever seen

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!
This might be the trippiest Metroidvania we've ever seen
So firstly, the game was overshadowed by Crimson Desert. Combined with it's learning curve and shaky start, it's just didn't help any. So don't be surprised that you haven't heard of this one even though the kinks were worked out. It's presented as a 2.5D hand-painted, soulslike, metroidvania game. It has a dark fantasy setting with the usual metroidvania mechanics and tropes. The story is cool. But as is the case with most soulslike bosses, they bosses all come with a learning curve that range from simple to downright painful.

The sequel to one of the most brutal, disgusting Metroidvanias ever is about to launch

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

Chronicles of 2 Heroes: Amaterasu's Wrath (First Impressions)

Developer: Infinity Experience Publisher: Catness Game Studios Released: May 26th, 2023 Price: $20 USD When you pick up a Metroidvania, you expect it to follow the genre's basic rules. Platforming, non-linear gameplay, and blocked progression owing to a lack of needed upgrades to traverse certain areas, meaning there should be enough backtracking and other side things to do than going from point (a) to (b).

Beyond the Ice Palace 2

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.

The game can really get addicting along the way. Awesome!

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.
