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

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.

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.

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).

Worldless offers a mysterious and beautiful world to explore - it’s a shame about the combat

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

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.

[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:

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

A solid Metroidvania that expands the League of Legends universe in fun ways - Convergence Quick

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

It's a roguelite, a Metroidvania, and a base-builder! This adorable indie game does it all

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.

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.

ANIMAL WELL - A SURREAL & COMPACT PLATFORMER

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.

Eastern Exorcist | Android

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.

'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.
