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:

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.

"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.

Hey Tap Tap family I know you guys like fast paced action games I also like this games so I bring you one more game, I am giving you a game that have fast paced combat, deep exploration, and a dark fantasy world, game name is Grimvalor this game you NEED to check out.

Overview Grimvalor is a 2D action RPG with Metroidvania elements, developed by Direlight.

You play as a lone warrior, tasked with uncovering the secrets of a fallen kingdom overrun by darkness. With lightning fast combat, challenging enemies, and a vast interconnected world, Grimvalor delivers a deep and dark adventure.

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).

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
