Among the Best Metroidvania Narratives

This game is INCREDIBLE!! I typically play metroidvanias more so for the gameplay than the story, but babyyyy this game's story flipped that. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, there was SO much curiosity. I won't spoil any major plot pieces, but I thought the commentary around authoritarianism, personal freedom, and environmentalism was VERY dope. I'm usually a characters > setting type of gamer, but I was so engrossed in the geopolitical landscape of this game, which was a nice shift. Speaking of the characters, they were FAN. TASTIC. Robin is, in essence, a silent protagonist, but she still very much has a personality and adds SO much to the narrative. I liked Robin and Mina's budding friendship and the growth of both Mina and Robin's brother, Elro. I also liked that the cast had friction. I love a "best friend squad" as much as the next person, but it was nice having a group that had the heartwarming moments AND moments of sincere conflict and disagreement. But it's not to say the gameplay wasn't also stellar. Smooth controls, gorgeous environments, I felt so acrobatic and powerful playing as Robin and her friends. The game was also SO dynamic--sometimes it felt like a boss rush. There were so many moments where you were thrusted into boss fights and each one was truly unique. On top of that, sometimes you had to practice stealth or play mini-games to get through areas and I just loved how the game never felt stale. It was always introducing new scenarios, new bosses, and you never quite knew what you were going to get--in the best way! Lastly, kinda random, but I also liked that there was no "level-up" mechanic. Anyways, this game has an incredible story, cast, and gameplay mechanics. If you're a fan of Metroidvanias or political intrigue, you definitely want to give this one a try!!

Half Metroidvania half boss-rush

This game is equal parts Metroidvania and equal parts boss-rush. Towards the end, you get about 1 boss fight every 10 minutes. My biggest complaint of the game is the dialogue dumps. Every 15-30 minutes you'll be subject to a 10-15 minute dialogue dump. Instead of sporadically giving information throughout, they would just suddenly hit you with a ton of dialogue, much of which you aren't even in. Overall, a strong B+ game with too many boss fights and not enough Metroidvania.

Le bon élève :-)

Dans la veine des classiques du genre metroid-vania, iconoclast est l’enfant sage dans son genre, même s’il parvient à trouver son équilibre grâce à une histoire très sympa. Un jeu que j’ai vraiment apprécié, et don je n’attendais pas grand-chose mais le trailer de sortit du jeu, avait attisé ma curiosité. Dans un format très emprunt de classicisme, Iconoclast se contente de mécanique déjà vue si vous avez déjà touché un Metroid, sans pour autant tomber dans un mimétisme, comme l’ont déjà fait d’autres. Mais notre petite Robin, héroine du jeu, peu compté sur un arsenal varié, muni d’un blaster et d’une clé géante que l’on verra se modifier tout au long de l’aventure, on arpente les niveaux, avec suffisamment de diversité pour ne pas s’ennuyer. D’un point de vue graphique, les couleurs très chaude, ont su m’émerveiller, de plus les modèles des personnages et les animations sont ultras chiadés. La musique reste correcte, même si loin de valoir un gros pesant de cacahuète. L’histoire du jeu est probablement sa grande force, au contraire d’un Metroid 2D, don la narration est généralement très discrète, on nous raconte cette fois-ci une histoire profonde, engagé par moments, et qui est sublimé par une narration et des dialogues très propres. Iconoclast n’a pas vraiment pour but de transcender ou de changer le genre, comme peu le faire un Hollow Knight, mais il fait office de bon élève, et donne environ 10/15 heures de plaisir, que je recommande chaudement.

Story focused 2D Action Adventure

I've been expecting this game for a long time, maybe i didn't hear about it from the beginning, but it's been a few years and it has been one of my most anticipated games for a while now, today i finally finished it 100%. Gotta say, while i didn't absolutely loved it, i leaves a very good taste in my mouth in the end. I personally love the "Metroidvania" kind of game, might be my favorite, and this is one of the more story focused ones i've played, thankfully it manages to make every character pretty charming and interesting in their own way, thanks to some good writing and excelent animations, in general the graphics are fantastic, some of the best 2D art you'll see come out of the indie scene. Gameplay is pretty solid in general, the controls feel really tight, but i'm not a big fan of the tweak mechanics and losing the abilities you get from them when getting hit, the item collection isn't very interesting either as i'd rather get the abilities right there and keep them, it's a much more customizable experience, kinda like Hollow Knight, but it's not much my thing. Enemies can be varied but get old after a while, i love counters in games and using the wrench to do so feels great, but there isn't enough variety. Overall i'm satisfied if not blown away by the game, it's definitely worth experience and i recommend anyone interested in 2D platformers, action adventure games and looking for a cool story with charming characters to play it.
