It's slated for the PS5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC (Steam) for late 2022. Here's an overview of the game (via the Steam page): Key Features ...
Platform: Nintendo Switch Genre: OG Search Action Game It's been a decade since we've seen a proper follow-up for the 2D Metroid action-adventure games. Sure, we got Metroid: Other M, but that just felt like a slap to the face for fans of bounty hunter Samus Aran and her power suit and morph ball legacy. With Metroid Dread, developer Mercury...
Dark fantasy Metroidvania title Blasphemous impressed many with its gruesome art style and combat, so it's great that its developer Game Kitchen is going out with a bang with the title.

Platform: PC Genre: 2D Puzzle Platformer with 3 different protagonists If there's one thing missing in a 2D indie platformer, it's the ability to control three different heroes all at once. Such is the case of Greak: Memories of Azur. This 2D platformer from Navegante and Team17 is a throwback to the classic 2D platformer The Lost Vikings where...
Platform: PC Genre: Metroidvania action-adventure with a tinge of Dark Souls Just when you thought games couldn't get any more creative and weird at the same time, along comes an oddity like Grime.

Earlier this month, it was revealed by 505 Games that its parent company Digital Bros will have a "second version" of Bloodstained "in development" on its quarterly financial report. This description is a bit vague and could allude to more updates of the 2019 Metroidvania title made by creator Koji Igarashi. Welp, we just got confirmation that t...
If you're looking forward to a neo-retro Metroidvania game this year, you may have to wait a little longer.

According to Happ, the game "will be ...
Platform: Xbox One/Series, PS4/PS5, PC, Nintendo Switch Genre: 2D Action Game With Tron's Plotline The best kinds of stories do not have to be original written works. Otherwise, nothing will get done. Narita Boy's "stranger in a strange-yet-familiar land" isekai tale is a familiar story if you've seen films like Tron, even right up to the digit...
Narita Boy is now out for most major consoles and for the PC. While its art style and music are great, it has this habit of letting you get lost and not giving you a clear direction, much like last year's other Metroidvania title Carrion. It's all the more frustrating especially if you're just here for the game's engrossing story. Fortunatel...
Record of Lodoss War: Deedlit in Wonderland Labyrinth will be scratching that proverbial Metroidvania 2D action game itch later this month. Oh, and it helps if you're a fan of the fantasy anime that's clearly inspired by The Lord of the Rings.

With Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom and Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap out and remastered for current-gen platforms, it's only a matter of time until the fourth action-adventure instalment Monster World IV gets the same treatment.
