[4.5/5] reviewed at 12/01/2024 - 9 Years of Shadows : Test Vidéo Switch ! Super Metroidvania ? [read the full review on N-Gamz]
Entertaining gameplay loop
Enemies get stuck behind obstacles


Halberd!
Dynamite boss fights
Light shield mechanic is a triumph
Clearly crafted with love
Some missed potential in story and puzzles
No Hard mode or New Game+ as yet


The variety of armors is awesome, completely changing the gameplay.
Excellent artistic design and magnificent soundtrack.
I feel that some crucial elements are missing, such as automatic saving or fast travel.


Beautiful Soundtrack
Fun Exploration and Mobility
Intriguing Story
Lots of Side Content
Magic System is Frustrating
No Difficulty Options
Only Two Visual Resolutions


Great boss variety
Movement and Combat are simple and feel great
The weakness system is a light, appreciated touch
The plot and main character are presented well
Desperately needs fast travel
Basic monsters are recycled a lot


Interesting stylistically, with a giant, exotic dark world to explore and excellent boss fights
Full of unique ideas for the genre that don't feel tacked on, and work to keep things engaging
Outside of the bosses, enemies aren't particularly interesting
Its difficulty curve goes from too easy to occasionally frustrating at certain boss junctures


Quality art direction
A beautiful 2D pixel-art
Good feedback in combat
A short adventure (about 6 hours), but enough
The OST simply excellent
The mechanics around energy are very interesting
Atmosphere and captivating universe
A good variety of bosses
Lack of replayability
No large variations of blows from one armor to another
Limited and repetitive bestiary
Too many technical crashes
No English translation
No "Pros & Cons" find for this reviewer.
No "Pros & Cons" find for this reviewer.


Un superbe pixel art
Les armures à améliorer
Le système de vie
Une histoire mélancolique très plaisante à suivre
Textes en français
Sa trop grande facilité
Un bestiaire trop limité


+ example of pixel art done right
The armor designs hit a very nostalgic point for me, and are clearly the highlight of the game
Europa is a very likeable protagonist and her inner turmoil is easy to sympathize with
The soundtrack is really good and every area feels unique because of it, the musician NPCs also gain some extra personality with their unique tracks
Gameplay and puzzles aren't challenging or interesting
Map inconsistencies lead to wasted time and frustrating exploration
Boss fights are unremarkable, visually striking, but mechanically boring
No "Pros & Cons" find for this reviewer.
Smooth gameplay
Lack of optimization
No "Pros & Cons" find for this reviewer.
