Alpha Sorcerer

I can see the game bein' fun for me if the controls were solid. That's the main issue imo. Otherwise I thought the pixel art and the enemy design is nice. The writing is solid as well from what I gathered intro wise. The game could do with voice actin' as well. The price tag may keep some at bay tho. Gameplay here: https://youtu.be/sEgKf6WqOig

This game was sold to me as "smash bros esque metroidvania". I'm sorry to say, it isn't that. What Alpha Sorcerer is however is a tight action platformer. If you like Hollow Knight's combat then I highly recommend this game. You need to be aggressive and cautious as it's incredibly easy to get overwhelmed and you don't have many tools to get out of combat. This game is clearly the work of passion and I'm looking forward to anything else that the dev makes. For the feeling of that lightning fast 2d combat with some genuinely fun and challenging platforming segments. For anyone who finds the beginning hard - don't worry it gets easier once you get a hang of things. Protip 1- Invest in the magic skills first. There's a fight early on that's nearly impossible to beat without maxed out magic. (At least for me). Protip 2 - Enemies don't respawn. If you need to you can very easily just run back to the save point after every check point to make your life a little easier if much more monotonous.
