Anthony Accinelli of StrengthGamer.com writes, " In a little over a year, El Shaddai has gone from a strange, jean-wearing blonde girl guy, to a beautifully animated video game chronicling the "Book of Enoch".
It's just too bad that outside of the visuals, El Shaddai has nothing going for it."
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.
I played the demo and it definitely wasn't for me. I can see how some people may like it, but I totally agree with the reviewer on this one.
this game from what I see is awesome.. yes, it's not for everyone.. it's more I think for art style, unusual story lovers... and maybe for those who can't stand FPS anymore.. or platformer lovers :) I know that I'll get it for sure :)
I died on the "platform game with waves" section of the demo over and over again, and still don't know what I did wrong.
As art style goes, this game is one of the most unique in recent memory.
But I hate having the appearance of a huge open landscape with only a small corridor of a path to move through with invisible walls all over the place.
I'll definitely check it out soon, regardless, but I see what the reviewer is talking about and agree with his consensus.
