Alpha Sorcerer

Alpha Sorcerer is great! This was a game I waited on for about a year on this game, but I didn’t expect anything specific from it and I came out with a better experience than I thought. The combat is easy to jump into even without a tutorial. The overarching story was ok, but I was more into the world the characters were in. The main rival to the main character is the most petty man and I love him. The soundtrack was pretty good to. The theme you hear in the first boss fight is my favorite. 14.99 might seem like a lot, but this is definitely replayable. I recommend this game! More people need to play it!

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.
