At first glance, Catherine seems daring for its risqué qualities: The cover art features sexy ladies in revealing clothes gazing at the viewer with a come-hither look in their eye, and some of its promotional art features innuendo that borders on downright naughty. Spend a little time with the game, though, and you'll quickly come to realize that its real challenge to video game conventions comes through its narrative and play mechanics.
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.
So... For those who bought it and played it, do you still have? Or does GameStop have your copy of it now?
I paid for mine on day 1 .. Still have it .. My GOTY pick, plus the best game ive played in 20 years
My copy was traded for skyrim from a friend.i still got the special edition stuff though it was a solid t shirt and pillow case
Great work Atlus. I hope they never stop making fresh game like this ^^
