I'll give this a thumbs up.

Pros:
-pure metroidvania
-incredibly challenging
-lots of replay
-a smooth visual appeal
-decent soundtrack

Cons:
-the devs are still working out game breaking bugs
-patches take forever, but at least are an eventuality
-I, like so many others, had to wait over a year for playable "DLC" characters who were shown in the character select screen.
-basic things like the save confirmation sound are being changed, as well as adding new bosses(I like that part), all before the kinks are worked out.


This is easily my favourite Indie game EVER!!! Don't misunderstand, I think this game is incredible, but the difficulty can be stress inducing until you know what you are doing and the devs should have maybe not been so "indie", if you know what I mean.

While 16+ challenging playthroughs at appoximately 3-4 hours each to look forward to is great...paying less than $10 when it was on sale makes it AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
