"Today a new El Shaddai site went up on the internet. It’s hard to tell exactly what we can expect from UTV Ignition, but it seems that they are working on a new project within the series. The site doesn’t reveal many details, and it’s in Japanese too so that makes it even harder to squeeze out the little details that are present."
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.
II am voting 'fore sure' just because I hope it is true.
i'm pretty sure that the studio that made this game shut down shortly after the release of the game. i may be mistaken, though.
Damn good game, excellent style, gameplay and character art.
People keep complaining about CoD and FPS games but I wonder if those same people even purchased this gem.
