Metaloid : Origin

Criminally underrated, especially at $7. Tight controls, tons of unique abilities per character, great level design and good variety in the gameplay. Bosses are brutal but never frustrating or "cheap". Lacks a bit in the story department and the character sprites aren't amazing, but its a solid experience all the way through. Can't comment on the difference between normal and hard mode as I played through only on hard, but I assume not much is different besides damage scaling and some enemy placement. Really hope we see a sequel with publisher support and a bit more polish who can market the game, it deserves the sales. That said, game could use some more polish. Lots of "Engrish" and a few achievements do not work as intended.

Will update when further in but so far it's a really tight Megaman clone, X in particular. 3 to choose from characters with different weapons each, so there's plenty of variety for multiple playthroughs. So, if you have a particular itch for a Megaman X-like game, this title just might be able to scratch it.

The game is fine. I wish there was a neutral recommendation option. I bought it because I saw a lot of reviews that say it is a Megaman X style game, but I don't agree. It's like Megaman X in that it's a side scroller and you dash and shoot, but that's about it. I felt like the story could of been fleshed out and the final boss was completely different from the rest of the game, which sucked. The game didn't feel like it had an identity. Sometimes you are doing little puzzles, sometimes platforming, and then the final boss is like, some sort of bullet hell, but not really kinda of situation. Had some issues with shooting enemies as well if you were too close. The graphic are solid and so are the controls. You can choose from 3 different characters, which is a nice idea(although the game didn't interest me enough to do more than 1 playthrough). Those other characters also help you with the final boss, which is neat.

I really enjoyed playing through this one. So far I've only beaten the game with the first character, so I still have two more characters to go. Solid, fun action platformer with a lot of variety. Hunting for collectibles and power ups was a lot of fun. The final boss was one of the coolest bosses I've seen in these kinds of games. I've only played through the fire themed character so far, but the ability and weapon variety was very nice. There's only four special abilities and four weapons per character, but each of them were solid and none of them felt more powerful than another - I ended up using all four weapons frequently. There's also a collectible "passive" powerup in each of the first six stages. The English translation is almost comically bad, but it gets the point across. The story is clearly not the focus of the game. Overall I would recommend. Should note that I played it on the Deck & it worked perfectly. But the game only supports 16:9 ratios, so expect black bars on the top and bottom of the screen.

In most respects this game is great. Controls are tight, fun upgrade mechanics, and good enemies. Graphics look nice in that retro style, though sometimes it can be hard to tell when something is a platform or just part of the background. But the level design just kills it for me. Full of cheap pit deaths and sometimes very unclear where you're supposed to go. The game has a very forgiving continue system so you can retry as much as you want, but at some point it just isn't worth the time. Edit 10/2024 Tried the game again just in case I was maybe a little unfair in my original review. Suffice to say my opinion hasn't changed any. I did make it a bit further this time around, but still I struggle with the level design. I don't think getting lost in a MMX type game is something that should really happen.

This is a game I have been waiting for, for quite awhile I might add. The controls are very tight and that allows for all your deaths to be your fault. The difficulty ramps up fast and forces you to get better or get wrecked. The upgrades allow for a good amount of variation and the upgrades allow you to control the level of difficulty some. There is a good amount of achievements to unlock and multiple characters are there so replay-ability is decent. So far I've played with one character, but even so there is so much variation and exploring is encouraged with abilities and other goodies hidden throughout each level. The boss characters have decent characterization and when their health is low you can see their desperation through their attack patterns changing. This has taken what I've seen in the demo and improved what was already fun and really expanded upon it. I can totally recommend this game, especially at this price. It is a great bang for your buck game which if you want to play through it, shouldn't be too long, but if you want it, it offers a lot to do.

I got this on impulse. It popped up and I grabbed it. It's definitely worth the price. If you want a decent platformer and want to relive the Mega Man experience, this is perfect. The controls are great and the levels are fun and challenging. The only real downside is the grammar, it can really distract when you're learning the controls in the beginning. All in all, 7/10.

Metaloid Origins is an indie game that hold's a lot of promises with a lot of effort. I got the game from a commercial on YouTube thing it was another small indie project, but i was very impressed with the fun I with it. It's a very solid game but with a few ♥♥♥♥♥♥ in the design that keep's it back. I put a lot of hour's into it so i can confidently say both its pro's and con's. Pro's: Very good level design's, nice addition of different character with unique abilities, challenging bosses, and a very stylish and colorful art design as well. This game has a lot of inspiration from the Mega man series as well, so i'd definitely recommend to anyone who's into those kind of platforms. Each character as well play with different abilities and weapons for their play through. I also wanted to point out how colorful and stylish the art direction was for designing the backgrounds, enemies, and characters! Con's: Poor Translation and Repetitive levels. It's pretty obvious that the designers had some language barriers when reading the dialogue between characters and bosses. One factor I did find very disappointing was how each of the character's, despite each having their different load outs, all go through the same levels in the game. It makes playing the game more than once pretty boring and easy to predict if it didn't have the different character abilities to make up for said play through. Overall: I'd give it a shot. I like what the Developer's put into the game and found my time playing it very entertaining. The story and music are ok for what it is, but i would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a new game at a low price as well. The Developer's show a lot of promise, and i hope to see something like this again in the future from them.

An indie Megaman X but a solid one ! While it's not spectacular or use a specific gimmick, Metaloid deliver a very pleasant 16 bit experience. The ember kick bounce and ladder problem being solve there is still some little problem (the rapidly stuck boxes in the sewer being the most annoying with the english translation) but dosn't bother that much in the end. The 3 character offer a bit of replaybility and the 9 levels are sufficiently uniques in both artistic and levels design to make it worth the price. One warning : the game difficulty is really permissive with a lot of checkpoints and health options, this is both a plus and minus depending if you want your Megaman experience to be salty or not. As for me, it will be a good 8/10, too bad the game seem to fly under the radar...
