Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.57/day in the week to Aug 8 → 1.29/day in the week after.
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 2,400 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.

overall it's fun but i did not like the end game content. it's a great spiritual successor to the original metroid, but it truly evolves from metroid into megaman into touhou. I like the metroid/megaman parts because it had challenging exploration and boss fights but still felt really cool to explore and find new things, but the issue with the end game content is that the bosses just become touhou style bullet hell. i am not a fan of bullet hell and did not think that's what i was signing up for when i picked this game. most of the bosses are fun, just the last couple of end game bosses are not. mostly just [spoiler]phobos[/spoiler]
纯正密特罗德风味 目前我玩过最接近超银探索体验的类银游戏 神级地图与能力设计,像超银一样高自由度探索,多周目破序体验也非常好 初见难度极高:双摇杆+LB跳跃需要适应、和本家不同大部分小怪不掉补给、多动症精英怪、跳跃键对应四个能力在跳跳乐时不好控制(我对此游唯一不满的地方) 但同时作者又提供了辅助模式可以调节伤害倍率,boss战分阶段自动存档非常贴心,一周目开1/2到1/4伤害可以获得非常完美的探索体验

A challenging metroidvania with a lot of variety in upgrades and level designs. It's not the longest metroidvania I've ever played, but it felt very dense. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it.
Incredible and underrated game. There's one or two bosses that are pretty overturned, but nothing harder than what you would face in a Souls-Like. People saying it is too hard either need to get good or turn on the assist options.
amazing game , you will get frustrated at times. trust me its worth it.
操作真的一坨,看评价这么高,我一直认为是我的问题,耐着性子玩了这么久受不了了 这种纯粉丝向的好评游戏下次真得好好斟酌再入了
A hidden gem for lovers of Metroid games. I’d say it even does it better than its inspiration. Student always overcomes the teacher. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Note to Axiom Verge: SHOW, DON'T TELL!!!
What an awesome game. One of the best Metroid games I've played. Very fun, very challenging. There are some unique movements and upgrades introduced that I've not really seen before. Multidirectional shooting using the right analog stick is must in order to get through a number of the battles, and that makes simultaneously shooting and jumping and other some other movements quite challenging to master and put to use. The game was not crazy mysterious or frustrating to figure out where to go, but no handholding makes it a legit adventure. So there are times where you may need to traverse all the way back across the map, however it doesn't take very long, but some of the areas a just a hassle to get through. There are no runbacks required for boss fights, it will allow you at the beginning and end of the battles, which is a very welcome feature, and if you think that's too easy you can always choose to start at your previous save point. It completely nails the original metroid vibe, with improved graphics mixed with super metroid type of movements and smooth gameplay. However, there are many part of the game where it feel like you are having to pat your head and rub your belly at the same time; the controls and movements can be very complex to coordinate with shooting in multiple directions, while jumping in multiple directions, it takes some focus to keep cool and figure out how to make it all work together; so there are times it is hard not to feel incredibly frustrated with the game, but it's still fun somehow. There are a few boss fights that match any other game in difficulty, very challenging, especially the last boss as it should be. If I had to describe this game it's metroid, air fortress, and r-type somehow complementarily merged together. Oh yeah, the Music, it is excellent.
A love letter to Metroid. Highly recommended.
