About Clockwork Ambrosia
Engage enemies from afar in this 2D action platformer set in a steampunk/retro futuristic world. Clockwork Ambrosia takes inspiration from the metroidvania genre but adds a new twist: players can customize their weapon behavior with a plethora of modifications.Iris can equip four different weapons: the versatile Pulse Breaker, the armor-shattering Missile Launcher, the rapid-fire Revolver, and the trick-shot Grenade Launcher. Unique characteristics and different firing modes add basic utility to your kit.Players don’t hunt for ammo count upgrades in Clockwork Ambrosia. Instead, unearthing secrets reveals weapon mods - powerful items that reprogram your weapon’s behavior. Each mod is different, updating how your weapon behaves in more complex ways than “damage +1”.Should you add a mod that powers up your bullets? Great, but it disables a round! Wait a minute, let’s add a mod that fires extra bullets whenever you disable a round… Oh! And now you’re firing multiple bullets too, so you can use the mod that fires an extra bullet whenever you fire multiple! Oh, and that means…!ahemSo this is just one small example (of the thousands) of unique builds players can craft through discovery and ingenuity.Upgrade weapons to unlock even more mod slots, further unleashing your weapon’s potential.Players also unlock a variety of movement abilities, from the classic wall jump to special gloves that let you stride along ceilings - and much more. Then customize your equipment even further, adding armor, healing powers, and other game-changing effects!Scour the island for secrets. Make new friends. Defeat gorgeously animated foes. All while crafting a loadout for Iris that is built to your taste!Other features include:
- 15-20 hour (average) playtime
- Find over 100 unique mods for endless possibilities
- Save and swap between your favorite weapon & mod loadouts
- Pin icons to the map, marking areas for later exploration
- Purchase new mods and items with scrap from the hub village of Borersville
- Upgrade weapons to add mod slots; upgrade equipment to enhance their stats
- Buy enemy drops from the Borersville shop if you miss them during the heat of battle
- Fast travel across the island with unlockable warp points
- Death returns you to your last save point, but (limited) extra lives let you resurrect where you left off

Well worth the money, especially on sale. The eventual teleportation is a bit too few and far between, but wasn't too terribly bad. I never finished the game, but I enjoyed the crap outta my 14 hours. Lots and lots of exploration! Grade: B+
There is a lot to like here. But after losing an entire hour of progress due to being glitched into a wall thanks to a current and a bunch of fish, I'm done. The combat is fun. Boss fights can be intense. Lots of enemy variety to deal with, and it even looks good. The game's world looks cool, even if the story seems to be a sidenote more than anything. But navigating this large world falls a bit on the tedious side of things. I unlocked some fast travel via the mushroom folk, but that's mostly useless as that doesn't really take me anywhere I need to be anymore. The amount of dead ends you run into that just have a weapon mod that you might not even use is astronomical. I know the weapon mods can be useful. It makes sense to have them. They make combat have some pretty cool variety. But you don't need to use the full assortment of weapons most of the time. So the mods don't always make that exploration worth it. Especially considering you'll need to backtrack through so much to get back to where you're going. I liked that you unlock equipment that opens up more exploration options. It's just so tiresome to constantly run through the same areas all the time. Bei…
I've sorely missed these kind of games, it's one of the best Metroidvanias I've played in YEARS. Perfectly captures that feeling SotN gave of starting with nothing and feeling invincible by the end. Full video review: https://youtu.be/NS-QOZZ0SrM
Really enjoyable. Especially want to praise the movement; it was easy to flow across the screens. Look up how to get the fast travel item as it's easy to miss.
Love it! Congratulations! You made a great game. [b]It's the perfect blend of Metroidvania and Mega Man X.[/b] The possibilities the weapon modules offer are very interesting, and when you get a new module and change your build, it's very exciting, allowing you to one-shot enemies you couldn't before without increasing the weapon's damage. The movement progression is also very well handled. You created a gem. I'll promote your game to my friends. I hope it gradually gains the popularity it deserves.
Simply one of the best games of its type (metroidvania, search action, whatever you prefer) I've played. The core gun modding system is fun to tinker with; it feels like being an inventor, and when you hit upon the right solution to a "problem" (a boss, an enemy gauntlet) via some combo of modifications there is a real "eureka" feeling to it. Spectacular music, lively pixel art that brims with character down to each individual enemy, and a huge map to explore at a nicely calibrated pace that matches one's increasing ability to move across it. Basically, if you are a metroidvania fan, don't sleep on this.
