WTMG's Leo Faria: "Here comes the final verdict, answering what I have wanted to know from the very beginning: does El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron deserve to be considered a cult classic? Sadly, no. I’m not saying it doesn’t have a ton of redeeming qualities, though. Its setting and story are basically unheard of in gaming, given how devs are not exactly comfortable tackling Abrahamic religions in this kind of medium. As a concept, it’s fantastic. As an action game, it’s quite shallow. It’s fun in smaller doses, meaning a Switch port would be its ideal version. As it stands, grab it only if you need an extra hack n’ slash fix before Bayonetta 3 comes out next year."
It's good to see this legend get a second chance.
Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.
Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.
Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron HD Remaster is launching on April 28 for Nintendo Switch.
