Super Roboy

Interesting little thing. I appreciate sticking to the Metroid ethos of having character upgrades build upon each other combined with the Zelda 2 style leveling system, the moment-to-moment gameplay was pretty fun (the target attacks build up by dealing damage are an especially nice touch), and I rather liked the story (people who know what a KOLM is may see some similarity, but it takes a different direction) and the comic book cutscenes that presented it. I'd throw it on the pile of MV recommendations for sure.

Roboy idealnie zaspokoił mój głód metroidvanii który powstał po przejściu HK: Silksong. Jeżeli szukasz czegoś krótszego (około 10h) na kilka wieczorów to będzie dobry wybór. Zanim zaczniemy możemy wybrać poziom trudności dzięki czemu odnajdą się tu nie tylko ludzie szukający wyzwania jak w Hollow Knight, ale też osoby które chcą się zrelaksować. Fabuła mimo bycia prostą potrafi wywołać uśmiech na twarzy tak samo jak żarty tytułowego Roboya kierowane do NPC których napotkamy na swojej drodze. Gra jest bardzo przyjemna dla oka dzięki ręcznie rysowanej oprawie graficznej, wiele projektów możemy zobaczyć dzięki concept artom które zbieramy w trakcie naszej przygody. Ilość umiejętności, pasywek i typów broni jest na prawdę spora (tak samo jak światy gry) dzięki czemu gra się nie nudzi. Różnorodni przeciwnicy i bossowie są kompletowani w bestiariusz gdzie możemy sprawdzić ich silne i słabe punkty. Szczerze polecam każdemu fanowi metroidvanii.

Unity stutter. I'm going to talk with the dev and try to get this fixed. Edit: He can't, the mistakes made causing this are too deep and central to the core of the game. Do not buy this if you have a screen with a refresh rate lower than 120Hz.

Graphics were crisp, never any trouble seeing what you're doing save for one single optional platforming bit where foreground 'vines' get slightly (but not wholly) in the way - which I suspect was deliberate as 'the puzzle' on that one small set of jumps. Characters and enemies are charming enough, well animated, and the environments though very rectangular were decently crafted. Sound I cannot say as much about due to a hardware problem unrelated to this game. What little I heard was fine, but dead speakers don't judge. Controls were responsive, although there was a only a little variety in the shots (if only mostly just spread angle). Traversal abilities were mostly intuitively added to existing controls and expanded your moveset at a decent clip. There was plenty to find and pick up as abilities, and for extra crystals the puzzle rooms were not too extensive/annoying so they made a fine change of pace. All in all money well spent. A wonderful experience.

At first,I really didn’t like the game. The skill acquisition and getting the hang of certain aspects, could be a bit jarring. It’s not your usual metroidvania , with how the systems all works. Plus, at first every enemy can be a troublesome bullet sponge, especially if you aren’t leveled up enough, have the necessary skills to progress. It can still be done, through sheer determination and skill, but once you get the hang of it all and figure it out, it’s ridiculously addictive. It’s probably one of the only MV’s that I 100% on my first play through. I enjoyed playing it so much, that I meticulously scoured every inch of the game, going for unlocking every single ability and skill, completing absolutely everything. I love that the game makes that easy for a player to do, if they put in the effort and time. Your unlocked skills and abilities are what truly dictates how hard the game will be for you. I’m an extremely meticulous player, so I kill everything in sight, look for secrets, so unlocking level ups and abilities went fairly quickly, and began drastically changing the dynamics of the game. It went from taking extreme effort to down simple enemies, to rolling over everything in my path. It always keeps a good balance though, and will still challenge you. I would’ve loved to have seen more underwater levels,an overall larger world, and it to be a longer game. That’s not a complaint, that’s just means that I really didn’t want it to end. Hopefully, we’ll get DLC,a sequel, more games from this talented developer. The story behind The inspiration for the game, is extremely touching, and made me want to buy it even more. I’m a massive fan of sci-fi metroidvania, especially when they pay such wonderful homage to Metroid as this does. Honestly, the games version of a screw attack, controlled and felt better to play than even in Metroid dread. There were a few areas in the game that had me screaming obscenities, could’ve had their hit detection and penalty tweaked a bit, but it’s still entirely fair, if not sadistically so. You’ll know exactly which one’s I’m talking about when you get there lol, but thankfully, they’re optional and can be abandoned, if you decide to walk away for the sake of your own sanity. But thankfully and wonderfully, the game gives you every single tool necessary to succeed and excel, which is an increased rarity these days. I can’t recommend the game enough to absolutely everyone, regardless of what type of games they’re into. It’s the perfect marriage of mega man and Metroid, has excellent art, excellent game play, controls, and overran execution. I very much look forwards to more games from this developer. Played on my ROG Ally Z1 Extreme. Performed flawlessly.

Lots of skills, big map, game has a lot to it. If you like Metroid you'll like this.
