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.

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!

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).

VideoGameDunky is someone I can truly relate to; he began his career as a League of Legends content creator and streamer before transitioning to a satirical approach to video game reviews, to the point where half of the community around him felt serious and the other half felt like memes, making it difficult to differentiate from whether his reviews were genuine or just him being overly silly with jokes and humor.

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.

"Momodora: Moonlit Farewell" is the latest installment in the Momodora series. Join Momo, High Priestess of the village of Koho, as she embarks on a divine mission to save her people from imminent destruction at the hands of the demon hordes summoned by a malevolent bellringer. Momodora: Moonlit Farewell presents the account of the greatest calamity to befall the village of Koho, five years after the events of Momodora III. Once the toll of an ominous bell is heard, the village is soon threatened by a demon invasion.

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

One Word.... Perfect. its all it need to describe this collab. Man. this collab is really really good. the dev really take their time with this one.  when this collab first mentioned, i thought it will be just the char that comin in this game. but, to  my surprise, or maybe ours... they also bring the dead cells's weapons as the prisoner's combo. not just a few, but 27 weapons wether its be a basic atk weapon or as a skill. and the movement was made really well done.

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

Elderand is a love letter to Castlevania with modern elements. Make your own path as you unveil the darkness. Lore: Through the darkness and madness, promised glory awaits. Heads will literally roll in this gruesome, retro-inspired action platformer, where only the strong will survive in brutal, skill-based combat against terrifying creatures.

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.

Hey Tap Tap family You know Most Metroidvania games focus on fast moment and exploration, but they some times miss the most favorite part of the game that is action but BladeChimera not forgetting that part, this game brings you a deep, unsettling atmosphere mixed with stylish combat and a story filled with mysteries and  tragic moments. If you like games that i like, like Blasphemous, Bloodstained etc... but want something with a darker, horror-inspired world, then Blade Chimera is the perfect choose for you.

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

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:

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 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.
