Chasm

Chasm is a neat little Metroidvania that was quite enjoyable to go through! The description claims that every game is randomized for a unique experience every time but only the common rooms will get shuffled. Most if not all points of interests and important rooms will basically be in the same locations. This is a bit of a let down but the game in itself is good enough that it doesn't really matter. The pixel-art and animations look great and it's always pleasing to navigate through the world with the mobs encounters, environmental hazards and bosses. You can use currency and collet ressources to buy or trade for better armors and weapons. There's a couple of different main weapons like swords, spears, axe, whips, etc. as well as magical sub-weapons like flames, a boomerang, an axe and more. The levels design and regions are fun to go through and explore. There's a unique hub for every regions where you will unlock doors that allows you to backtrack to specific part of each regions. Sometmies it's a bit confusing when there's a couple of entrances/exits leading to the same regions but nothing too overwhelming either. The only part that was more of an hassle was the T…

Very solid and quite interesting game. Nothing more, but it isn't a bad game.

A well crafted action adventure experience combines exploration, combat, and character progression within an interconnected world that encourages curiosity. Caverns, ruins, and hidden passages are arranged in a way that rewards careful navigation, creating a steady sense of discovery throughout the journey. Procedurally generated elements add variety between playthroughs while preserving a clear structure that supports exploration. Combat feels responsive and approachable, relying on timing, positioning, and effective use of weapons and equipment. A broad selection of gear provides meaningful choices, allowing different approaches to encounters and boss battles. Character growth unfolds at a steady pace, with upgrades and new abilities supporting both combat effectiveness and access to previously unreachable areas. World design maintains a strong sense of momentum through frequent discoveries, optional paths, and worthwhile rewards. Side objectives and hidden secrets provide additional reasons to investigate every corner of the map. Progression remains consistent, with exploration and combat working together to create a satisfying gameplay loop. Atmosphere and presentation suppo…

I'm a sucker for pixel art but that's just about all this game has going for it. With the exception of some of the area art theming, this game is unpleasantly generic and bland. The NPCs, the story, and the dialogue are high quantity and low quality in terms of writing. These things can be super subjective though, but it really doesn't work for me. The music isn't bad, but it's not great, and it would benefit from being less abrasive and more atmospheric, more background. The weakest aspect of this game is probably the level/map design. Procedural generation seems like a total cop-out and bad idea for a metroidvania. It makes several rooms feel nearly identical within a map area, which is extremely antithetical to a core aspect of the genre - exploration! It got so boring so quickly, especially when you backtrack. The movement and combat is painfully slow and stiff, which I could accept as "challenging" if the game weren't so easy. Healing items and save points are frequent enough that it's pretty hard to die. Only played the first two bosses but they were mind-numbingly easy. You can literally pause and consume healing items mid-fight, not that it's really all too necessary. T…
