Do NOT pick this as your first Metroidvania game, enemies are super hostile even from the very beginning, like how NES Metroidvania used to be.
If you are a hardcore / old school Metroidvania player, sure, doesn't hurt to give it a try.
(Kinda does, actually, it hurts my feelings.)
My point still stands, do not pick this as your first Metroidvania game.
------------------------- There's your TLDR -------------------------
You have a "Hey Look Listen" boss acting as your guide.
The main weapons you get are guns, with ammo count, there are better weapons, but they all still have ammo count.
(Yes, there are ammo upgrades)
Bunch of questionably designed enemies.
Some layouts of the map are questionable too.
I constantly find some places where I bonked my head and drop all the way down to the bottom.
Oh yeah, there are some Rogue-Like elements in it too. If you died, you will have to go back to that same spot to kill your old self, to get some things back.
The game will feel better once you get the "No-Knockback" and "'Attack Boost"
Even better if you have the "Ultimate Weapon" (Not the actual name).
But I'm pretty sure those are meant to be for the later half of the game, so get exploring.
Bosses are fun, but final boss and the final sequence after that was definitely underwhelming.
This game reminds me of another game called "Alien: Infestation", and that game was not very good.
"Get Good" does not justify a bad design.
