About
Iko is an aspiring yet hopeful warrior exploring the land and sky to reunite a series of floating islands. With his rickety airship, he must travel from island to island in order to reignite each one’s magnetic core while fighting off the many adversaries standing in his way.
Islets is a surprisingly wholesome metroidvania about making connections with the people around you. By reuniting the islands and befriending a cast of charming characters, the world expands and reveals new parts of each area for Iko to explore. Scour every nook and cranny in order to collect the many upgrades hidden around this world and face its numerous hidden challenges!
There’s also a tour guide to show you around, but you should be careful. The guy’s got some really weird vibes...
Connect the islands like a puzzle to discover new ways to explore previous areas and reunite the vast world around you.
Fight back against terrifying monsters and ruthless sky pirates in epic boss battles.
Discover upgrades to help you on your journey by completing challenges and uncover the islands’ many secrets.
Make friends with a wide cast of charming characters—including a pretentious warrior classmate, a suspiciously friendly frog, and so many others.

A short, sweet little Metroidvania. Islets doesn't have the depth of story or game arc of something like the Ori games or HollowKnight, but if you'd like a quick, fun game to enjoy on a weekend with charming artwork, lovely music and just enough challenge to keep you engaged I think Islets is a wonderful choice.
Un metroidvania qui est franchement top avec une DA cartoon/épurée qui colle à son niveau de difficulté (que vous pouvez d'ailleurs choisir ! sans pour autant dénaturer l'œuvre) et qui se retrouve aussi avec une map qui ne devient pas labyrinthique au bout de deux heures XD. Je le conseille aux personnes n'ayant pas l'habitude du genre comme aux vétérans, vraiment juste une pépite ! En bref, un metroidvania pour tous, bien équilibré et sans prise de tête.

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 2,402 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.

Я вот даже и не могу сейчас сказать, понравилось мне или нет. На текущий момент прошел всю игру, кроме режима Атаки боссов. Мне очень сильно не понравилось, что _Удар_ двигает персонажа вперед. Это прям очень сильно усложняет позиционирование. Второй большой минус для меня в том, что босс файты это bullet hell. Это конечно вкусовщина, но для меня это и минус и неоправданная сложность. Хотя бы потому, что иногда прохождение конкретного босса было заметно легче, просто из-за последовательности его атак и "разбрызгивания" снарядов. Из плюсов = анимация, музыка хорошие. Прыгучесть и отзывчивость в целом нормальная, но в мелочах вызывает какое-то отторжение. К примеру во время прыжков на платформы 95% времени все проходит идеально, но иногда бывает банально трудно попасть на нее (даже не знаю, с чем это связано). Поэтому пусть и игра неплохая, для меня это скорее негативный опыт.
本作和冥界清道夫一样，都属于比较轻度的类银，难度更简单，流程更短，全收集更简单，类银该有的要素也齐全，甚至还有boss rush，画风、音乐、剧情和角色设定也比较治愈，很适合类银甚至单机新人或者带小朋友游玩，py有k，不到10块，很推荐
战斗系统及其简陋，躲弹幕的场景太多了。除了配色，其他方面和 Sheepo 很像，喜欢 Sheepo 的可以试一试。
I'm not gonna dislike cause it's obviously a well put together game. The first boss fight was fun, but I wish didn't need to spend another half an hour getting to the second, flying boss fight - which is not as fun, but more fun than dying literally just before a randomly placed checkpoint who knows where. I guess I'm just not a fan of Metroid style games. I wish it was boss fight after boss fight and constant upgrades. It sucks having to randomly find your way around, the map makes zero sense to me. It's almost like the map walls and open spaces don't translate to the actual level.
I've been going through backlog, Islets is a really pretty and lovely Metroidvania. Great, interesting characters. Great exploration. Great enemy design. Took me about 18 hours to finish. I really loved it, made me want more of it. Definitely recommend for Metroidvania fans. (I got it in a Metroidvania game bundle, so not full price. But I think it's worth full price.)
Islets is a fun and concise metroidvania. It has the classic Kyle Thompson vibe and presentation combined with smooth gameplay. The airship sections could have been expanded upon but there isn't much to critique overall. Exploration, combat, and bosses are competently crafted for a quick adventure. This is probably my least favorite release from Kyle Thompson, but he just doesn't make bad games so Iselts is still solid.
the mous is funy
Definetly a great metroidvania, easily the most chill and relaxing one i've ever played, which is kind of weird for the genre it is. The combat may be a bit boring at the start but the bosses do improve throughout the game and are pretty good, sure they may not be on the level of the greats like hollow knight, but they are good enough (and the boss rush mode is decent too). The exploring aspect of the game is also good, with good backtracking, with it being not too boring, and opening new paths and shortcuts for the whole playthrough. Overall a good, chill metroidvania, which doesn't take itself too seriously but has an interesting and unique mechanic for the map (that being the islands connecting to each other to unlock new paths). 7.5/10
