Developed by a hugely-talented, Tokyo-based team headed by the legendary Sawaki Takeyasu (Devil May Cry) and Masato Kimura (Okami, Viewtiful Joe) El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron, draws players into a rich storyline inspired by events in the Old Testament's apocryphal 'Book of Enoch.'
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.
"The Tokyo-based (Japan) indie games developer crim Co., Ltd., today announced with gret joy and thrill that their unique third-person action adventure "El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron HD Remaster", is now available for the Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo Eshop." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Just because he worked on CG artwork on DMC doesn't make him legendary.
WTH is wrong with journalism these days...
Looks like a hack n' slash, the thing that worries me though is that it looks like it has very little depth to the combat system.
I'm probably going to buy it regardless.
