BLADECHIMERA

A really good metroid vania, a little short still good, it would benefit from a secret ending where you had to re do everything with stronger monsters or something similar in order to extend it and maybe some command input moves, other than that i really liked it.

Team Ladybug really flexed their muscles on the pixel art department here, absolutely incredible work. As a metroidvania though it’s too linear, exploration doesn’t feel satisfying and the skills you get aren’t interesting. It’s definitely a good game but it’s my least liked one out of their output

Absolutely solid Metroidvania: interesting abilities, clever secrets, and a neat plot twist I haven't seen before.

Nothing amazing, but quite fun.

impressive metroidvania

glad to see team ladybug making more games. had a fun time exploring the world and with the combat. only complaint is the item drop dates can be awful for anything thats not mandatory for a quest

I wanted to like this after playing Team Ladybug's previous game and I was into it - I thought it felt good, looked good, sounded good. I was down for it all - I liked the setting and the gun combat. But sadly, some bad check-pointing combined with punishing and sometimes unfair platforming makes this too tedious for me to waste my time on. There are too many other good things to play. It's not good enough that I was willing to endure that friction.

I really enjoyed this one! It had all the makings of a good metroidvania and was a solid play. I hope to see this one among the other genre'd games in Archipelago.

An excellent Metroidvania with some interesting sword powers to give it a unique identity.

This was a pretty simple and straightforward Metroidvania. Nothing too difficult or complicated, and nothing missable either. If you're new to the genre, this would be great for you. It leans way more into the Castlevania side of gameplay, so players looking for a challenge may want to skip this.
