vou fazer uns grande resumo o jogo tem uma quantia de variedade de armas insana oque achei mt daora acredito que sejam 137 assim como tambem tem multiplos sets de armaduras e estilos de build mas para mim o ponto principal deste jogo é a questão da arte simplismente ser absurda principalmente os designs de bosses acredito que os mais bonitos que ja vi na minha vida sendo o unico ponto ruim deste jogo a facilidade ja que acredito que morri apenas duas vezes sendo uma delas por ser burro ja que tava usando uma arma que dava dano com o tempo o n sabia. OBS: n tem pontos, virgulas e etc pq n sou alfabetizado foi mal
In a market oversaturated with Metroidvanias that have nothing of Metroid and nothing of Castlevania, Afterimage actually manages to distinguish itself while taking advantage of its roots; this is to me the definition of underrated because people refuse to see this game for what it is. Pros: -The art is gorgeous, probably the best I've seen in a metroidvania to date -Elaborate weapon system, that makes so things aren't stale for too long because you can always swap your weapons for different ones, including magic -No "going to very specific NPC you can miss just so you are able to upgrade your weapon", you can do it at any time -Proper ties with the story regarding the death and respawn of the MC -A lot of area variety, with good use of both vertical and horizontal areas -Satisfying movement all throughout the game -Great Map system that has a wide range of markers that are infinite and usable and removeable at any time -Allows teleporting easily between save/heal points with potions, saving a lot of time Mixed: -The story didn't feel anything speical to me, which is fine for a gameplay focused game like this one, but doesn't excuse the fact it's not that great -Huge map and areas, can both feel rewarding to explore or a chore at times -The music does its job, sounds good but isn't exactly memorable Cons: -Sometimes the progression can feel a tiny bit cryptic, especially at the second half of the game -Underwhelming NG+ campaign, that despite having a new playable character, is mostly just an asset reuse with a bit of lore -The ending requirements are way too much for anyone to do without a guide I've always heard mixed thoughts on this game, and honestly? I don't get it. I'm conviced the people saying that the "combat is bland", that it's bad because theres no vertical attacking and that there's "no platforming" haven't even tried to engage with its systems, which is sad. Do people really need everything handed to them on a silver platter? This is very above average title compared to the current stagnation in the genre, you just have to not be a narrow-minded fool and enjoy it for its quirks.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Ставлю палец вверх, потому что на раслабоне игра принесла мне достаточно удовольствия за свою цену (со скидкой) и с моими ожиданиями. Но есть нюанс Истинным фанатам жанра (которые закрыли пантеоны полого рыцаря и даже не подавились) смотреть в сторону этой игры не рекомендуется совсем: 1. Никакого билдостроения. Несколько видов оружия, из которого я сходу выбрала наиболее для меня удобный вариант и не меняла ни разу до самого конца - все. Ну еще есть магия, но там все еще проще. 2. Крайне незапоминающиеся боссы. Почти всех я убила с первой попытки, но и остальных не пришлось изучать для победы. Много зарядов хилок, часто даже уворачиваться не надо, стоишь и затыкиваешь босса, иногда отходишь похилиться. Да, вначале немного труднее, т.к. нет толком навыков типа двойного прыжка или рывка, но сути не меняет. Финальные боссы вообще никакие. Я дошла до них неспеша, но уж точно не перекачанная, тем не менее боссов не почувствовала. Показательно - боссов было два, я на первом старалась не тратить хилки, мало ли, вдруг второй готовит мне подарочек, но каково же было мое удивление, когда после первого босса игра мне полностью восстановила здоровье, хотя даже уровень не поднялся. 3. Много дополнительных включаемых пассивных навыков, которые не нужны. В гайдах их советуют переключать в зависимости от задачи (изучение мира или битва с боссом), но смысла в этом нет, ибо ты больше времени потратишь на дорогу до точки отдыха (а только там можно переключать навыки) и обратно, чем на битву с боссом. 4. Есть механика с готовкой. Еда дает небольшую постоянную прибавку к какой-либо характеристике и еще временный баф. Есть ли в ней необходимость? Только для закрытия ачивок, ибо одна из них дается за приготовление всех блюд. Как-то так. 5. В целом прохождение со временем становится только проще: куча доп навыков, зарядов хилок больше и т.д. А казалось бы, должно быть наоборот - чем глубже игрок погружается в геймплей и лучше узнает механики, тем сложнее должна становится игра, пропорционально растущим навыкам игрока. По итогу игра зайдет любителям несложных игр или кому в целом нравится жанр, но кто не критичен к уровню сложности. Если ты из истинных хардкорщиков и не уважаешь игры попроще - не лезь) Ладно, заикнусь о плюсах, обзор все-таки положительный. Ненапряжная, симпатичная и красочная, оружие друг от друга отличается, так что смысл в выборе действительно есть. А еще есть плащи, которые на характеристики влияют слабо, но зато меняют цвет костюма (я ходила в черно-красном с золотом) - красивое.
小白想入门类银我会推荐这款游戏，算瑕不掩瑜吧，地图有些大且空，不过考虑到这算一个世界倒也觉得没啥，任务引导不明显和传送要消耗品是个蛮严重的问题，优点就是量大管饱，考虑到算是新人练手作内容还是蛮丰富的。 在此顺便多嘴一句，有些人喷都没到点上，在银河城游戏里喷怪碰撞有伤害和前期冲刺没无敌是何意味，还有说前期地图收集品看到拿不到，不会真是第一次玩类银吧
Didn't find it particularly engaging, but it's a serviceable metroidvania overall.
和边境猎人坐一桌
더빙도 영어,중국어,일본어의 3개국어. 맵도 무진장 넓은것 같고? 열심히 만든듯 해보이지만.. 40분 정도 플레이하다 더이상 못하겠더라. 난 도저히 이 게임의 컨셉을 알 수가 없다. 컨셉을 알 수 없으니 흥미가 생기질 않는다. 주인공은 누구인가? 어떤 사람이지? 내 곁을 따라다니는 사역마는 또 정체가 뭔데? 모험을 하는 이유나 목적, 이 세상에 대한 설명, 왜 이런 몬스터가 생겨났고 싸워야만 하는가? 아트에 대한 칭찬들이 있던데, 내 감상으로는 예쁘다기보다 뭔가 좋아보이는 것들을 조잡하게 펼쳐놓은 이도저도 아닌 아트다. 조잡하고 칙칙하다. 이 게임의 아이덴티티를 전혀 느낄 수 없었다. 스토리가 별로거나, 백번 양보해서 스토리가 신비주의 컨셉이라면, 아트나 게임성이라도 좋아야 계속하는 맛이 날텐데. 앞서 말했듯이 아트도 내 스타일이 아니고, 전투는 재미가 없고. 메트로베니아인데 위 공격이 없어서 조작감도 구리고,재미도 없는 능력치 찍기는 왜 이렇게 세분화 되있는지도 의문이고.
Shallow busy work. Go play Nine Sols instead.
Afterimage is a metroidvania that has a beautiful atmosphere, huge world and hand drawn art style. The areas look really nice and make you want to explore new areas. The feeling getting lost and soaked into this world is this games biggest strenght. The gameplay feels smooth, the combat is fast and the 6 different weapons with each their own design, combos and style add alot of variety. Afterimage is not perfect though. The map can feel way too large, the story is also quite confusing and not easy to follow, so you don't know where you have to go next most of the time. Although I ran in circles alot of times. Afterimage set the mood really good with it's music and beautiful world. Anyone who enjoys exploring, finding secrets and getting lost in a huge fantasy world will find alot of content here. Great Metroidvania
Valiant effort. Combat's interesting. The drawn background and SOME of the music scores are good. Platforming challenges were not revolutionary but still enjoyable. However, Map design involves too much back tracking. Large swaths of the level in there just to... make it look big? but to no value to the experience. Its like its just to make you spend time travelling. Yes metroids tend to have this as a feature but this is just over-done. The otherwise scenic background just loses its appeal to the nausea of traversing a map. Character development were too superficia, story is very messy - near incoherent. The flow of the game lacked intermediate/ short term milestones to make it feel like you were making any progress. The vastness of the map/world make its feel like you're wandering around like a headless chicken before actually stumbling upon any signs that you are actually moving along the story being told. The many 'endings' - i didnt bother getting all of them, felt rushed to the point they didn't flow with the narrative. Heck the ending cutscenes felt like just random clips slapped onto the end of a story with the only binding context being the background and characters involved in the last battle. Lots of potential, but needs a lot more refinement in the editing room.
