Gamepro's Heidi Kemps review of Ignition Entertainments action platformer El Shaddai Ascension of the Metatron.
An absolutely stunning aesthetic and some inspired gameplay choices make El Shaddai a one-of-a-kind gaming experience.
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.
Usually, a game like this would be RIGHT up my alley, if you'll pardon the cliche.
Great concept--interesting premise, fantastic art style.
I dunno. There was just something about the demo. I'm not paying $60 for it. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the last several PSN games I bought were all stylish, visually-appealing titles with virtually zero substance. ~__~
