What i really liked this time around was how coherent the world of blade chimera felt especially due to its bigger focus on narrative.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
It Certainly on the easier side of Metroidvania's but for any after a 10 to to 15 hour platformer with and a wonderfully told story, beautiful sprite animations and moments of unique gameplay in this genre, give it a go.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
While it impresses with its sharp combat and breathtaking visuals, some design choices leave it feeling like it didn’t quite reach its full potential."

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
It's not voice acted though but it doesn't have to be as it has fun retro styled portraits and sound effects.

I played 100% on Steam Deck while docked at 1080p and had zero issues for the entire time.

You get different equipment, inventory of healing items, gathering experience and leveling up, unlockable skills, side quests – all on top of the basic aspects of the genre, like gaining items and abilities that unlock more of the world and finding secrets.
