Dandara

Jumping and platforming

A metroidvania where Dandara doesn't walk but leaps instantly from surface to surface, turning gravity and space into a puzzle of movement. Surreal pixel-art worlds reward exploration and demand precise leaping through tricky traversal and combat.

Afterimage

Jumping and platforming

A hand-drawn 2D Metroidvania where you explore the ruins of a fallen metropolis as Renee, fight towering bosses, and build up your skills and gear. Its RPG depth and large, interconnected map are the main draws.

Well Dweller

Jumping and platforming

A dark fairy-tale metroidvania where you play a tiny bird with a matchstick, crossing a wretched kingdom to burn the wicked queen. Expect quirky characters, exploration and platforming action. The game is new and little known to me, so this rating relies mostly on the description.

Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight

Jumping and platforming

A compact 2D pixel-art Metroidvania platformer where you play the priestess Kaho, fighting through a decaying kingdom with quick melee combos, dodge rolls and tough boss duels. It focuses on tight combat and a gloomy mood rather than heavy character building.

Laika: Aged Through Blood

Dark, serious atmosphere

A grim metroidvania set in a post-apocalyptic desert where you play a vengeful coyote warrior. It mixes motorbike platforming, flips and gunplay in fast combat, wrapped in a striking hand-drawn comic style.

Possessor(s)

Dark, serious atmosphere

A fast, hand-drawn Metroidvania with combat inspired by platform fighters. As Luca and her uncooperative demon counterpart Rehm, you explore a ruined, flooded city full of interconnected paths.
