If you are a MetroidVania fan, you owe it to yourself to check this one out. Imagine Ori meets Hollow Knight meets old school God of War, and you have yourself the new Prince of Persia. Story is predictable but fun, and it brings back Sands of Time feels with the time warping elements.
Combat is challenging but rewarding. Good news is there’s a lot of difficulty settings, including the “custom” option to choose which areas you want easier and which more challenging if you are looking for more of an exploration game.
Speaking of which, the exploration is great, with rewards going to those exploring every corner of the map, which is exactly what this genre is all about.
The prologue is not MetroidVania-style, btw, but don’t sweat it, get through it and it will take you there.

Accessible Metriodvania Game?
2D Metriodvania type of game where you explore levels with areas gatelocked until you gain a new ability to unlock the area. Traditional game, no battle pass, microtransactions or pay-to-advance mechanics.-Story/Plot. You are one of 7 elite guards called Immortals sent to win a war. Prince gets captured and you try to get him back. There are some mysteries and twist and turns throughout the game-Customized Difficulty.Able to choose from Exploration (no map indicators) vs Guided.Difficulty levels include: Rookie, Warrior, Hero, and immortal. You can also customize individual aspects via sliders for enemy damage, enemy health, environmental damage, parry difficulty, dodge window, and Athra (special) depletion rate.-Gameplay:Standard Metriodvania flare. You get standard ability gains like wave dash and double jump as well as some unique ones like the ghost teleport ability (also can be used in combat to chain attacks)There are time puzzles combined with abilities gain to get pass certain areasPlatforming segments require some precision, timing, and use of abilities. For those who find it difficult there is an option in the accessibility settings where you can skip those segments, but know that you will lose out on some collectables and upgrade currencyCore combat focus on combos, parries, and dodging. A lot of variety of button combinations for combos. Parries is very similar to Metroid Dread where enemies glow before they do heavy strike prompting you to parry/counter attack. You can also combine combos with abilities gained as mentioned beforeDoing actions like combo attacks and parries build up a special meter. Special typically result in high damage AOE attacks but different animationsYou can equip amulets to your neckless for perks. You get amulets hidden across the map and must pick and choose which one to slot inThere is an in-game store where you purchase upgrades and amuletsThere’s a fast travel system but its separate from the checkpoint/heal tree. Wish you can fast travel to any checkpoint instead of having a fast travel area separate from it. Feels like artificially extending the length of the gameSome checkpoints at gameover screens are not that forgiving. It can bring you a ways back from where you died.I really like the memory shard marker mechanic. It takes screenshots and mark your location for later. No need to memories or write down in a notebook where you need to backtrack to. Wish this is standard for all Metriodvanis games moving forwardOverall very fun 2d exploration platformer
