The game also plays with camera perspectives to make platforming more dynamic and enjoyable. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3521293417 Considering its price during Steam sales, the love and care put into the game by the small but talented dev team, and the good time I had playing it, I’d say it’s a solid pick. Definitely worth adding to your wishlist, and if you're a fan of the genre, you might find yourself pleasantly surprised by this hidden gem on the Steam store. For me, the game had me from the opening animation! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filede…

MARS 2120 developed and published by QUByte Interactive is a sci-fi metroidvania that clearly draws inspiration from genre classics while attempting to carve out its own identity through a blend of exploration, elemental abilities, and hybrid combat systems. Set within a remote Martian colony that has fallen into chaos, the game follows Sergeant Anna “Thirteen” Charlotte as she investigates a catastrophic event that has transformed the facility into a hostile and mysterious environment. The premise is familiar but effective, providing a strong foundation for a progression-driven adventure built around discovery and survival. The game’s structure adheres closely to traditional metroidvania design. Players explore a large, interconnected map composed of distinct zones, each filled with obstacles, hidden upgrades, and locked paths that can only be accessed after acquiring new abilities. Progression is tied directly to exploration, encouraging players to revisit earlier areas with newly unlocked powers. This loop is one of the game’s strongest aspects, as it captures the sense of gradual empowerment that defines the genre. However, the lack of clear direction can sometimes make naviga…

Picked this game up cause of the heavy Metroid inspiration and it was 5 bucks. I got stuck for a bit because i refused to use the map. This game was a solid days worth of play. I found myself loving some of the 2d 3d world puzzles like in the arachnids lair and the tower escape. Game play was pretty solid except when you would get put into a damage loop and die. Using the abilities at moments was kinda janky and some redundancy in the moves like the ice pillar, fire/electric both being dashes. The boss fights where fun but left me wanting more varying patterns instead of RNG on 3 movesets for example the lava boss. Also where was the epic boss music you need the epic boss music all in all 7/10 in my book i had fun exploring. Definitely looking forward to you guys expanding your stories with the character and polishing the gameplay and hopefully atleast some boss music

Well... the idea behind it might be good, but the technical realization is not as well done as other games.

Wow, this is just bad...

Did not finish. I wanted to love this game, and it has a lot of potential, but as others have mentioned, good lord is it rough around the edges. Graphics are strangely fuzzy, controls and combat are janky, boss fights are either curiously easy or maddeningly frustrating, and the map system is absolutely abysmal. There are too many other good, polished MV games out there to play instead
