Today Takeyasu Sawaki's Crim announced more details about the PC release of the cult classic El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron.
A classic action game makes its triumphant return on the Nintendo Switch
El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is an action game by Ignition Tokyo and UTV Ignition Games for PS3 and Xbox 360, later released on Switch.
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Presenting El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron to a new audience and preserving it for future generations is a great thing, especially considering its cult status. Whether that audience will enjoy it is another matter entirely. Due to its cryptic storytelling, repetitive combat, and clumsy platforming, it doesn't quite escape the orbit of mediocrity. Still, there's a lot to admire, including exciting boss battles, impressive production design, and powerful music. If nothing else, it's an ambitious game with a singular vision. And that's something to celebrate."
Its a pretty cool game. i have the 360 version but Id buy the switch to play on the go.
I really hope this comes out to current-gen. I absolutely thought this game was a unique experience. It mixed DMC style combat with 2-D platforming and even driving segments with what has to be the most diverse artistic direction I've seen in a game.
Console port plz guys
This game is what I imagine LSD to be like. Never finished it though. The gameplay kind of got old quick as I recall.
I just remember it coming out around the time I was fully onboard the Ancient Aliens hype train, which raised some cool theories around the Book of Enoch. I think that's what drew me in.
