God Edge

I had a great time with God Edge! Like other reviewers have stated, it definitely has that NES flair, but something about it also reminded me of random DOS games I'd play as a kid. (Maybe the color choices? Or spritework? Not sure, but the feeling was there!) Absolutely worth giving it a shot, especially at this price.

ENG: Awesome, a pretty solid metroidvania with a vast world to explore, secrets, magic, multiple bosses, and rich pixel art full of smooth animations and chiptune sounds that perfectly capture the nostalgia of the 8/16-bit era. Without a doubt, it’s an underrated game.

Sin duda infravalorado, así que lo recomiendo.

Decent little metroidvania

"God Edge" is a short, linear and lovely retro-inspired Metroidvania/Puzzle Platformer. During your journey you find different spells, and powers. All of them change gameplay, and it is motivating to get into areas that were previously locked. Concerning the graphics, and the gameplay, I totally like them! They have a Castlevania-feeling, and you can easily figure out if something is background, or a platform. The game definitely is a short one, and I guess I could have finished it within 2 hours - if there wouldn't be Masuku manor, the fourth castle. "God Edge" showed already that it contains puzzle elements, like using the Dash/God Step to get through areas full of blocks. But in one situation, "God Edge" transformed into a Mega Man-clone with appearing and disappearing boxes to jump on. And that really fast! In fact, those precise-jumping sequences was the reason I never finished a Mega Man game (although I played EVERY). And after at least 50 tries in Masuku Manor, I know that it was and will ever be the reason I can't finish "God Edge". That's a pity, but who cares - because I had a lot of fun duiring the two and a half hours play time. Full recommendation - and may better luck with this sequence be with you!

Other than like KOLM I think this is kind of the simplest Metroidvania you could make and still hit all the marks, and it does. Not perfect, fourth dungeon is a little annoying, but it hits all the marks for at least the minimum requiremet.

Good nostalgic fun, highly recommend.

The hidden collectibles will have you stumped while you roll a joint and or smoke a dab reminiscing on that 2D NES nostalgia. Definitely has a Zelda II feel to it somewhat but not. It is definitely it's own entity. I had a blast, however I wish i could figure out how to acquire that "Riverman Key" & the final dart spell hahaha xD https://kick.com/kingb33/videos/1e15f4d6-d914-4643-bc99-795a35935f9f
