James Bentley: "Its contemporary sensibilities make Alwa's Legacy a fun title, but it pales a little against modern greats such as Celeste."
Michael Kitchin writes, "Alwa's Legacy is incredibly well done. Whilst the story can bleed off into the background, the real joy is taken from discovering new items and locations. Your abilities come quickly and it really allows you to move through the world at a decent pace. They compliment each other well and give you options to get from one spot to another. The music and pixel art is top notch. The score is catchy and the background art is really sharp. Overall, it's a pretty accomplished adventure."
"Clear River Games and developer Elden Pixels have today released the acclaimed retro metroidvania platformers "Alwa’s Awakening" and "Alwa’s Legacy" to Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 in the physical bundle Alwa’s Collection, for $29.99 / €29.99 / £25.99 which includes three holographic stickers as bonus content." - Elden Pixels/Clear River Games.
I can't wait to receive Alwa's Awakening for my NES. Went ahead and bought this and will keep the NES game boxed.
"Alwa’s Legacy is Elden Pixel’s 2020 follow-up to Alwa’s Awakening. It’s a modern retro adventure game, bringing elements of 16-bit era titles to a new generation of players. Now having made its way onto Playstation, I’ve been given the opportunity to check it out." Paul @ Thumb Culture
