Devils may cry tears of joy when they feast their eyes on this piece of work.
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.
is this game free? It looks like a flash/facebook game!
*edit, holy crap....lol....just looked it up, they are actually charging $59.99 for this game? GTFO!! I thought worst case scenario it was a $10 downloadable title....this industry is insane!
Look what this game is;

this cost like what, $20,000 to produce, why is it not a $10 game...lol
I admit this looks somewhat intresting and I like the weird art style and mythos, but these guys are smoking rocks if they think people are going to drop $65 on this thing!
the same can be said for many other games which unlike this game have next to no art style and creativity. all they have is a bad case of copying and paste jobs all over them.
Then you have games which are the same game from 10-15 years a go with very little else new other than the format its released on with a few tiny tweeks, but now they are full prices again.
This game has by far more going for it than any of the other games which not many people have complained about.
I'm sure if u r a gamer, you will know what games i talk of.
