Anima Flux

♥♥♥♥♥♥ two guys?! ♥♥♥♥ ass made it

A fun co-op adventure. My only complaint is that the melee character sometimes feels a little useless until the ranged one clears the room, especially at the beginning of the game. This improves later on. Despite this issue it's a highly recommended game. Co-op feature in metroidvanias is super rare, so we cherished every moment and had a blast with Anima Flux. The visuals are beautiful!

I have put enough time to say this game is just unfair , the steamdeck aiming is just over the place.

Unfortunately I would not recommend this game even though it pains me, it's a pretty good indie game that's fun to play in co-op. I won't burry the lead: the map and bad UX kill this game and make it super hard to recommend, its buggy and very useless making a metroidvania like this with back tracking a pain instead of fun. It is not an easy game and maybe could be balanced better but overall good game with a terrible, recommendation killing UX. There is, apparently, no way to even map opening of the in game map to a button in the controller settings. The PS5 controller is recognized but there is just no option to do it. Or any of the other menu's (upgrades, quest log, etc). You can "fix" this using steam inputs and mapping the `m` key to your controller's select button, but steam doesn't remember the setting on each launch and it is an extra step every time I reboot my computer. And outside of the annoying bug, the map itself is just useless which makes a game like this with a lot of back tracking pretty impossible to play unless you go out of your way to make your own map. You can't place markers, what they choose to show on the map vs not seems pretty random, and good luck re…

A dystopian sci-fi city built on an artificial exoplanet houses the last remnants of humanity, where Nox Commander Eileen and gladiator Roy hunt a rogue mutant called Alpha 75. The premise establishes immediate urgency through government corruption and death camps disguised as evacuation centres, creating narrative tension beneath the Metroidvania exploration. First-person perspective frames 2D side-scrolling combat across interconnected environments. The dual-character system introduces tactical variety from the opening sequence. Core gameplay revolves around switching between Eileen's ranged archery and Roy's melee swordsmanship to exploit enemy weaknesses and navigate environmental obstacles. The resuscitation mechanic allows reviving a downed companion, creating risk-reward dynamics during combat encounters. Upgrade systems include rage regeneration, damage boosts, armour improvements, and weapon mods ranging from poison to stun grenades. Exploration rewards backtracking with seals that unlock previously inaccessible areas. The dual-character switching stands as the most distinctive mechanical element, demanding tactical awareness of enemy vulnerabilities and environmental re…
