Review Ultros by Well Played
Incredible aesthetic, across both sound and artstyle
A narrative that leaves you wondering, but not annoyed
Packed with uniquely creative exploration tools
Follows the gold standard of simple combat with a fiendishly fun level of mastery
Definitely needs more tooltips that aren?t alien gibberish
May be overwhelming for some

Exceptional game design
Long and exciting
Also suitable for those who are not familiar with Metroidvania.
Fabulous art design.
Not many bosses.
Sometimes, it will be difficult to navigate, with all these colors.

Review Ultros by Comunidad Xbox
The mix between metroidvania and roguelike is interesting.
Gameplay with more depth than it appears to be
The artistic style of El Huervo has a lot of personality and is catchy but...
...it is also a bit overloaded and creates confusion with the platforms of certain levels.
The roguelike factor can become difficult at the beginning.
Its cryptic story can be off-putting.

Does the contamination of the metroidvania genre with roguelite elements work?

Revisable card management

Review Ultros by Vandal
A good idea to combine two genres.
Visually, incredible.
Very entertaining from start to finish.
A fight too easy.
The first half can be a bit confusing and even frustrating as we learn how it works.

A fantastic artistic work, characterized by intense psychedelia.
The time loop mechanism is applied in an ideal manner.
The battle and platforming follow fairly typical paths.
The mechanism of plants could be more explanatory.

Huervo's utterly surreal and unique alien art style that instantly grabs your attention
Otherwordly soundtrack and sound design
Crunchy and vicious melee combat
Striking character design
Novel premise for a metroidvania that breathes some life into the tired genre
There are several useless skills/perks in the cortex growth system
The visuals can be a bit too busy which makes it difficult to see your foes and platforms

Review Ultros by GameReactor
Its combat is fluid and fast-paced. Its environments are varied and engaging to explore. It dares to be different with its visuals and roguelike elements.
The lack of a mini-map makes traversal tedious. Backtracking can feel exhausting. Its vibrant colour palette is headache-inducing.

This giant puzzle on which we will remain vague.
