Odallus or Axiom Verge

gameplay pls

Axiom, Odallus is painfully mediocre

Neither of them are anything original, though.

I haven't played Odallus, but I had a ton of fun with Axiom Verge. Played it a bunch during the last part of last year.

Axiom verge is about 75% as good as super metroid.

I would go with it

Axiom. They're both pretty fun but I'll freely admit neither of them do anything overly original.

Are you literally retarded? What do you think the point of these "authentic" NES games is?

AXIOM VERGE MY NIGGGGAA

Axiom verge

Rather than flooding the catalog with steam sale threads I'm just gonna ask here - is Galak-Z worth my pennies?

Castle in the darkness

The whole point of Axiom Verge was to subvert what one expected from a NES style game.

>>322291441
hello odallus dev

yes, axiom verge is better and no one cares about your game

If that was the point they were pretty shit at getting it across. The game was great, but the entire time I played I couldn't stop comparing it to Metroid.

I saw it as a massive love letter to those games. Not a subversion but a re-visitation. Tom Happ put together a classic metroid style game but updated it with some modern conventions and a couple gimmicks. Like the superfluous amount of weapons and glitch mechanics.

Played axiom verge this past 2 days, great game with nice music.

The graphical changes around glitch pocket worlds are cool as hell

???
I stopped playing once I realized its was just an indie game trying to be metroid, did I miss something?

Missingno glitch

shadow complex, its free right now for pc and infinitely better than both of those shitfests

>main character is a nerd with dreadlocks
>wears trenchcoats
>story is he literally thinks hes too smart for the universe to handle
>90% of the optional weapons are absolutely and utterly worthless
>glitch mechanic is seldom used meaningfully and is about as useful as the fucking spinner from twilight princess outside of the areas that absolutely require it for progression
>giant eldritch war machines don't betray you and act as badass fucking superbosses

shit game, stay the fuck away from it, it's guaranteed ps+ fodder anyway

I dunno where to go next after this boss. I got the grappling claw and went everywhere and no clue where to next.

I preferred environmental station alpha

>>322298939
I'm playing this now after axiom verge. The small graphics hurt my eyes. I have trouble seeing whats going on.

I'm enjoying it though!

>>322298939
wow, that looks like it was made by the guy who made small worlds, a small, minimalist flash based browser game from years ago. fucking loved that game, I'm probably gonna buy this.

>>322299492
Yeah that was my main gripe. I couldn't tell what was the background and what I could walk on. Once you explore the same area a few times you figure it out though

>>322294985

mah nigga

The absolute speed of getting into gameplay and saving and stuff is great though.

I hate when games make me wait minutes to get into a game, or like 30 seconds just to save.

Russalki final form

Esa >>> axiom verge

>>322298939
Hmm, that looks pretty gud. Cheap, 15 - 70 hour playtime, 95% positive. Might pick it up, thanks for the tip.
