Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet

This game sat unplayed on my Steam account for 13 years and I'm now completely ashamed of that fact. Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet is an absolute gem in the Metroidvania genre! The level design feels concise and direct; despite there being no fast-travel option I never felt like I was constantly backtracking (although I could imagine going for all collectibles may be a slog). The way the difficulty ramped up was a perfectly designed incline. Please check this out if you're looking for a shorter Metroidvania with great controls, visuals and level design!

An amazing and underrated Metroidvania. The price is cheap, and its probably better than what most games are selling out now for much higher prices.

[b] quirky metroidvania [/b] ITSP is probably one of the more obscure metroidvania's on steam that lends itself to its unique art style. The campaign isn't long, but the missile guiding section is sketchy. Most of your playtime will be spent battling the RNG gods in the 2 challenging multiplayer modes. 7/10 Average completion time: 25+ hours Number of achievements: 17 Difficulty: RNG luck in multiplayer Replay-ability: tied to achievements Online playerbase: very limited!

This shadow planet sure is twisted, possibly even to an insane degree

I remember playing this game a long while ago, and forgot about it, until I suddenly had a realization that I played some sort of UFO Metroidvania in the past. While my feelings are not as positive as they once were, this is still a solid short metroidvania~esque game where you play as an UFO that has to destroy a plague that has infested a planet.

2011 yılında çıkmış metroidvania öncülerinden çıktığı devir için az bulunan bir tür iken şuan her yer metroidvania kaynıyor yine de ITSP sıkıcı bir oyun değil, Hollow Knight, Rogue Legacy ve Guacamelee oynamışlığım var onların kalitesinde ve derinliğinde değil ama kendi temasında tatlı ve yeteri kadar dolu bir oyun, oyunda bir uzaylı olarak gezegenimizi saran ve her şeyi yok eden bir karanlık enerjinin kaynağını ufomuza atlayıp aramaya koyuluyoruz. Oyun gelişim süreci hızlı ilerliyor ve bu iyi bir şey zaten oyun süreside günümüz oyunlarına kıyasla çok kısa ama gerçekten 10 saatte biten tecrübeleri de özlemişim. Mükemmel bir deneyim sunmaz ama eğlendirir. 6.5/10

I love games like this, reminiscent of ori, I can't put it down :) Clever puzzles and challenging enough gameplay, yet so simple. I really hope they make a sequel someday

- Во-первых, это хорошая метройдвания. - Во-вторых, Steam врёт игра отлично работает на Steam Deck: разрешение само устанавливается, настройки геймпада сами подсасываются. - Нет русского, но тут язык нужен только для описания абилок, а сам сюжет подаётся роликами совсем без теста и озвучки.

A fun little game, maybe not worth the price tag but a fun and unique take on a metroidvania with a cool artstyle

Great.
