El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron HD Remaster Coming to Nintendo Switch
Hey there, fellow gamers! Get ready to embark on a timeless adventure as Rainy Frog and crim have just announced the release date for their highly anticipated game, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron HD Remaster, coming to Nintendo Switch on April 28th!
If you haven’t heard of El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron before, let me fill you in. This action-adventure gem was originally released back in 2011 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. It later made its way to Windows PC via Steam in 2021, and now it’s making its grand entrance onto the Nintendo Switch scene!
A Stunning World of Art and Adventure
Step into the shoes of Enoch, a brave warrior on a mission to save humanity from a great flood. The world of El Shaddai is unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. Prepare to be mesmerized by its outstanding aesthetics and deeply artistic world-building.
What sets El Shaddai apart from other games is its unique blend of 2D-like platformer action and a vibrant 3D world. As you progress through your adventure, the game’s canvas-like world will constantly change in organic and innovative ways. It’s like stepping into a living, breathing piece of art.
Easy to Play, Hard to Master
Now, let’s talk about the gameplay. El Shaddai follows a simple control scheme with just four buttons: jump, attack, guard, and weapon stealing. But don’t be fooled by its simplicity. The mechanics of the game offer a profound and rewarding experience that will keep you engaged for hours.
While you don’t need a manual or walkthrough to jump right into the action, if you’re ready to delve deeper into the game’s mechanics, you’ll discover a timing-based combat system that requires precision and skill. The developers aimed for a gameplay experience that is “easy but profound,” and they’ve truly achieved it.
Award-Winning and Ahead of Its Time
Back when El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron was first showcased at the Tokyo Game Show in 2010, it received the prestigious “Future Game of the Show” award. The game’s script, with its memorable character lines, even garnered a gold mention at the Internet Buzzword Awards the same year.
It’s not surprising that the game’s original aesthetics, unique concept, and its ability to feel ahead of its time in 2011 sparked discussions and praise from the international media.
Conclusion
So, dear gamers, mark your calendars for April 28th, because El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron HD Remaster is coming to Nintendo Switch, and it’s an adventure you won’t want to miss. Immerse yourself in its breathtaking world, master its intuitive yet challenging gameplay, and experience a game that truly pushes the boundaries of art and storytelling.
Remember, in the world of gaming, just as in life, we face challenges and obstacles. But it’s how we overcome them that defines us as gamers. And just like Enoch’s journey in El Shaddai, let’s face those challenges head-on, with determination, skill, and a touch of artistry.
