Overview: Metroidvania.
20241020:
I look back to a list of a Redditor's favorite Metroidvania or Metroidvania-adjacent demos during the Next Fest. That list mentions five games and, including Voidwrought, I've played four of them.
Setup: Xbox controller.
Steam Game Time: 60 minutes
First Impressions:
This is perhaps the only true Metroidvania I have played during this Next Fest and it's a killer one. Here are some aspects I love about the demo:
- great artwork
- cool execution of traditional mechanics (attack, dash, charge attack, and grapple)
- relic / accessory system to upgrade
One aspect I didn't always love was the speed at which the player character moved. Sometimes the player character moved too quickly for my liking, making it hard for me to latch onto a ledge.
As a minor gripe during the demo, I felt the mini-boss required too many hits to defeat.
Demo Rating: 5.2 out of 5
