With only a cursory understanding of what makes a “Metroidvania” interesting, Outbuddies is a game you don’t need to explore.
The Humble Headup Games Band Boost Bundle just launched today. It features games like The Textorcist: The Story of Ray Bibbia, Outbuddies DX, The Inner World, Dub Dash, and more.
WTMG's Aaron Price: "At the end of the day, outside of some frustrating confusion, and maybe a bit more time looking in rooms for items that might not exist, OutBuddies is an enjoyable way to pass the time. If you stick with it, the game tends to make you feel silly for not realising what way you need to go to progress sooner, but the boss battles and weapon upgrades do offer a rewarding feeling. OutBuddies is a true return of the metroidvania genre."
There was hope that Outbuddies DX would be another great addition with a unique spin to the ridiculous overflow of games in this style, but it’s nothing of the sort.
