Compared to more modern "this was made by one person" titles it is a bit rough around the edges in terms of art/music/dialogue, but the gameplay itself was great. Not many metroidvanias choose to go for that chaotic "enemies everywhere" style of combat. In retrospect maybe it was a tiny bit easy, but not so much so that it was distractingly so. If you're a fan of that title, I highly recommend Muramasa: The Demon Blade (which unfortunately only ever released on the wii and PSP). Muramasa has that same feel in combat but with much higher production value. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

SrRd_RacinG 10/27/20 7:19:43 PM #13:	I have played both Blasphemous and Death's Gambit and I'd probably give a slight nod to Blasphemous but I enjoyed Death's Gambit, too. They both play off Dark Souls' mechanics, but Blapshemous' environments and set pieces truly bring the 2D Dark Souls vibe! HADES must be added to your list and Salt and Sanctuary. I would put Salt over Blasphemous and Death's Gambit. Fucking great game. Axiom Verge was stellar, as well! Bloodstained is a solid mention. --- https://media.giphy.com/media/l3vRn3I4UyDoKyWLC/giphy.gif <cite>SrRd_RacinG posted [p:946382281] in Metroidvan...
