Richard Worrall writes: "While not the most succinct title of 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron at least appreciates the strength of simplicity in other respects. Led by Takeyasu Sawaki (character designer for Okami and Devil May Cry), this 3D action adventure dispenses with the more complex controls and gritty realism of DMC. It even eschews the 3D occasionally, resembling a traditional platformer. It’s much more approachable than it sounds.
Even following completion of the game there are reasons to go back. Various difficulty levels, collectibles and grade challenges are just as they were in Bayonetta, providing legitimate replay opportunities. And although it borrows from Bayonetta where it makes sense to do so, this is a confident title in its own right that deserves more attention than we suspect it will receive. In the complicated business of the pre-Christmas blockbuster releases, El Shaddai is a simple and refreshing joy."
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.
El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron HD Remaster is finally coming to Nintendo Switch, physically and digitally. However, there's a catch.
Disappointed that’s it’s Switch only. I still have my PS3 copy but I’d like the extra Visual Novel. If it comes west maybe I’ll get the switch version
This game had a cool art style..if I am not mistaken, some guy from Okami was involved
This is great. Just great!
Some game I have never heard of on some site I have never heard of before.
Imagine trying to tell someone that you write for this site.
"You should go to my site, www -2 -brit - x - xox. co . uk."
"Ummm, yeah......"
