Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet

Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet is a genuinely impressive little Metroidvania that I'd been sleeping on for way too long — the art style by Michel Gagné is unlike anything else I've played, with that striking black-and-shadow aesthetic giving every creature and environment an eerie, almost macabre beauty. Flying around as a tiny UFO instead of a humanoid character feels fresh, and steadily accumulating tools like the buzzsaw and grappling claw kept the exploration rewarding. The puzzles never frustrated me, the boss fights have satisfying patterns to learn, and the whole thing wraps up in a tight 6-8 hours before it ever overstays its welcome. My only gripe is that backtracking to locked gates without fast travel gets a bit tedious, and the rewards for doing so — mostly concept art and lore clips — feel underwhelming. Still, if you can catch it on sale and enjoy Metroidvania-style games, this is an easy recommendation.

かなり古いゲームであるが、2026/02/01時点でWindows11で操作可能。日本語対応済 なので日本語がサポートされていないということはない。 ボタン記号の変更はさすがにできないが、コントローラ対応済。 スティック操作のため少し独特な操作感。 ストーリー導入もあっさりで、全体的に古さは否めないがセールで買うなら十分ペイするお値段だと思う。

I first purchased this game back on the days of xbox360. The graphics were gorgeous then and still is now even today! It constantly goes on sale for $3-$5 and i was happy with it back when I paid $15 for it on the xbox 360! It has very fluid play, has unique art style, cool mechanics for the upgrades on your ship and has neat environments to explore. Highly recommend if youre a fan for metroid-esk games!

A triumph of visual design and environmental story telling, but not a triumph in being fun to play for longer than an hour.

um classsico indie

Jogo simplesmente MARAVILHOSO, gráficos lindíssimos, atmosfera tenebrosa, tudo no cenário tem um tom agressivo, gostei demais, além da variedade de ferramentas e habilidades, ainda tem uma jogabilidade maravilhosa, sem palavras, simplesmente jogue, VALE MUITO À PENA, 100/10

I would recommend this game if you LOVE metroidvanias or you LOVE little spaceships (for some reason). The classic metroidvania formula is here, in a 4 or 5 hour experience. Collectables? Tons! Creative upgrades? Yep! Various enemies and areas? Absolutely! Great musical score? NOPE. (weakest part of the game) If you're kicking rocks looking for a unique metroidvania to fill your time, this will satisfy that urge.

If you want an immersive experience, creative gameplay, and fun puzzles, you'll have a blast with this gem.

Great little metroidvania. It's pretty simple but the controls are tight and it just plays really well. The art style is pure 20s indie style, that dark, painterly, slightly grotesque hand drawn look that everyone was j3rking off to back then Yeah it’s short, but it’s the kind of short where you’re not left feeling ripped off. The planet feels alive, even though the map isn’t huge. Every corner has weird creatures, little details, and that constant “what the hell is that” sense of wonder If you’re a metroidvania fan and you’ve got an afternoon or evening where you’re bored out of your skull, just play it, Way better than most people remember. Legitimately slept on gem

Jogo nostálgico, joguei muito a demo no Xbox 360. FINALMENTE CONSEGUI ZERAR HOJE NO PC.
