Adventure of Samsara is a mysterious, 2D Metroidvania action-adventure – and it’s coming soon on GOG!

With stunning, 2D pixel art, this game combines classic gameplay, a deeply connected world, and a heady, twisting narrative of death, rebirth and memory. Developed by the Brazilian studio Ilex Games, players take control of the Solar Champion, a long-dead Plutonian resurrected by the primordial light of the Sun. Tasked with reactivating a mysterious interdimensional fortress, the Champion must restore balance to the multiverse.

Wishlist it now!
To the forum!
Cool, another indie Metroidvania game with pixel art...

I really like Metroidvania-style games, but once you've seen one, it seems like you've seen them all (and that's the feeling I get after watching the short gameplay clip in the trailer).

For now, I'm passing because I'm not convinced. Thanks to the publisher, developer and GOG.

It doesn't matter which one you play. Metroidvania isn't a game. It's a state of mind.
Plutonian, eh? Probably just a coincidence.

When do we get Adventures of Samorost, the calm combat free metroidvania?
"It's like Atari's classic Adventure, except it's nothing like it at all!"

A hug, @Breja! =)
Hmmm, sounds good so far. What I don't like after watching the trailer is, that the running looks very stuttery. Even though I like old-school 2D-Animations, here it seems to be too few frames.
The 2.5D perspective in this one seems way off. Some walls and objects tilt / rotate left, others right. At some places those different orientations directly clash. For example in the very last screenshot: the stairs up top go one way, while the wall in the dead-end corridor below goes the other. Makes one woozy if you have an eye for straight lines and perspective.

Same here. My first reaction (though as a hobby coder, I do respect all the work behind this) was, "Errrhm, could this be even more generic?"

There actually seem to be some fitting that description. On a quick search, Himno, Songbird Symphony, Knytt Underground, maybe Toki Tori 2...
