People's Gamer writes: "Let’s state the obvious: Japan comes up with some of the strangest video games. I should know, I’ve played quite a bit of them. And yes the West does have its share of strange games. But sometimes what makes their games strange is not just with the characters themselves but the source material and inspiration behind the game. Case in point El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron from Ignition Entertainment"
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.
