GOGZero 12/09/21 3:32:27 AM #79:	I've been meaning to get around to Katana Zero/Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom one of these days. Kenri posted... Angel's Punishment (Switch) This is kind of the opposite of what I said about Monster Boy. Angel's Punishment is a worse game in every technical sense (the dialogue is littered with typos, there are issues with hit detection, the sound and music are buggy, etc) but it does nail the Metroidvania feeling. There isn't much story, no NPCs or sidequests, just a big ol' area to explore, collect powers, and kill bosses. You can probably whip through the whole thing in one sitting. I wish it was harder; the few reviews I found described it as fairly challenging, but after the first 15 minutes or so you get a better weapon and upgrade your health and it becomes almost trivially easy. I also wish it was more polished -- idk if this makes sense, but it feels like an SNES game that you loved as a kid but when you go back to it years later it feels like a solid 7/10 at best. Still, I bought it for only a few bucks and enjoyed it a lot considering that. Ah jeeze. That doesn't sound too good. I got this game for $1.99 last month when the tagline in the eShop description hooked me with "A respectable and very good "metroidvania" game with classic pixel art." Double Dragon Neon (PC) Replayed but this time around it was via online co-op with a friend. The netcode was sorta decent. For some reason when fighting certain boss fights, the textures are bugged and the bosses are invisible on one player's end (mine) but the host (my friend) was able to see the boss. Even some projectiles were not showing. It was weird. Also...I was Jimmy and beat my friend. I got Marian. lol... Katana Soul (PC) "Play as the samurai Kan and fight in a dark, demon-infested Japan. Face this 100% arcade experience without any credits or saves: you can only rely on your skills with the katana." The game was advertised well in it's description. According to the developer on a Steam forum post, this game was inspired by Kenseiden (I had played that briefly a year or two ago but couldn't really get into it.) I really enjoyed it. It has an aesthetic that looks like a Commodore 64 and a good soundtrack that sounds like it's from a Commodore 64 as well. It controls really well, too. I liked this game so much I even managed to get all the Steam Achievements. --- The reason why you couldn't see my Signature before is because it was Invisible <cite>GOGZero posted [p:960750530] in Post Each ...
