March 2025
As of finishing this game and getting the "True Ending", my feelings on the game are, overall, pretty solid. I do recommend this game BUT with conditions. If you're going into this expecting a deep and complex storyline with lots of lore like you get in other Metroidvanias like Nine Sols and Hollow Knight then you maybe a little disappointed. Not to say the story is bad or anything as there are some good ideas here and I did like Tania as a character but the plot just felt a bit lacking to me. I didn't feel particularly attached to the handful of other characters who were present, not helped by how they just disappear for good chunks of the game. Heck, I was more invested in the history behind the island I was exploring and even that stops getting a focus after a while. HOWEVER, the gameplay is what kept me invested right to the end. Tania is great fun to play as and the combat was a true blast and even kind of addictive at times. It's flashy, fast-paced and once you get a decent amount of upgrades, along with all the weapons, you got moments where you just feel all kinds of cool. There's a good amount of stuff to find, along with hidden areas and several sidequests, that ensure repeat trips with new abilities are never wasted. Heck, you can even find cats throughout the game and rescuing a number of them will give you ways to tell when you're missing an item in an area which makes getting that elusive 100 percent completion in an area NOT a complete soul-crushing chore. And yes, you can pet the cats so automatic thumbs up to the developers for including that. Also, as you can tell by my current playtime, it's a fairly long game, especially if you're trying to get 100 percent on everything. Overall, I did enjoy my time with Awaken Astral Blade. The overall story was kinda "meh" but the gameplay and combat were a joy from start to finish and I do want to see what these developers devise next. I would personally recommend waiting for this to go on sale before you consider buying it. That said, if you can stomach a "so-so" plot then you're in for a good time.

It's a perfect metroidvania game with fast-paced action and excellent platforming. I've never seen it before, but it definitely deserves more visibility. It has a really good soundtrack and a variety of bosses and skills. The location and maps are big, and the art style is excellent. I also like the voice acting. Overall, it's an adorable game, a true hidden gem that deserves a lot more visibility, and I would recommend it to anyone I meet on the street.
