Review WerqKween 3/5 · Nov 10, 2023

Basic, cute Metroidvania picking up where the first left off. Opportunities to shape and expand your maneuvers a bit as you find upgrade orbs allows a small amount of customization. Otherwise, fairly linear, fairly fun, run of the mill retro graphics and a decent soundtrack. It's a good way to pass a few days.

Just a good bread and butter Metroidvania

This game is extremely pleasant to play. The 16-bit pixel art is easy on the eye, and it has very solid level design. It has a greaf balance of platforming and puzzling, with a well integrated overworld and dungeon design. The map is a real highlight for me too, as there are late-game items that make it easy but satisfying …

This game is extremely pleasant to play. The 16-bit pixel art is easy on the eye, and it has very solid level design. It has a greaf balance of platforming and puzzling, with a well integrated overworld and dungeon design. The map is a real highlight for me too, as there are late-game items that make it easy but satisfying to 100% the game.

I did not play the first game in the series yet, so the story went over my head and I kinda tuned it out (I tend to do that with Metroidvanias that aren’t particularly unique). The music doesn’t seem to have much variety/life and gets very repetitive. And ultimately, the game kinda doesn’t bring anything new to the genre.

Despite that, I really had a blast and would recommend if you love metroidvanias and can’t find anything to play. It won’t blow your mind, but it’s a really good time.
