El Shaddai definitely has a lot more to it than just mesmerizing visuals.
A classic action game makes its triumphant return on the Nintendo Switch
El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is an action game by Ignition Tokyo and UTV Ignition Games for PS3 and Xbox 360, later released on Switch.
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Presenting El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron to a new audience and preserving it for future generations is a great thing, especially considering its cult status. Whether that audience will enjoy it is another matter entirely. Due to its cryptic storytelling, repetitive combat, and clumsy platforming, it doesn't quite escape the orbit of mediocrity. Still, there's a lot to admire, including exciting boss battles, impressive production design, and powerful music. If nothing else, it's an ambitious game with a singular vision. And that's something to celebrate."
Its a pretty cool game. i have the 360 version but Id buy the switch to play on the go.
Absolutely loved the demo. The music, the art, the combat, everything. That old man pissed me off though. Lol.
I'm so into these weird, Japanese takes on the bible.
I keep hearing about this game...feels like for years now. I just keep forgetting about it. I think because that title is not easy to say or remember! Why not just "Metatron" or something simple like that? :)
This game looks awesome.
...and yet, no mention of the PS3/PSV release for Dragon's Crown? BLASPHEMY!
I mean seriously...it's Guardian Heroes, by Vanillaware!
Also, El Shaddai is amazing. Sold on it before I played the demo, afterwards I was merely justified in my decision to buy it.
