23 - Akatori
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-q23C-ubF9E
Genre: Metroidvania
Date: TBD
Platforms: PC, Switch

There's a ton of indie-vanias coming out these days. They generally separate into two schools of 'vania: 2.5d games with hand-crafted art and classic pixel-based 2d games. Akatori is very much in the latter camp: a melee-focused action platformer where you're doing crunchy combos with rolls, backdashes and all of that cool stuff. The main movement mechanic is a staff that you can throw to make platforms or bounce off the ground and there is a ton you can do with that.

I've played through the prologue of this game and it's good. It probably won't blow you away unless you're really into combat-focused 2d action games, but it's solid and fun. It'd be a gem if there weren't a million of these kinds of games coming out, but it's still pretty good even with that.
