What players think
The recurring themes across 122 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Instead, the character that takes much more of the spotlight is the armor that attaches itself to her, as Smelter is quite talkative, wants to restore his army to its former strength, and knows many of the other characters you interact with.
Smelter is an ambitious action-platformer that combines retro-inspired side-scrolling gameplay with territory management mechanics, resulting in an experience that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly unique.
The soundtrack complements the presentation exceptionally well.
I like the visuals, it's just that the world did not capture me.

Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway.
