March 2026

This gets a positive rating only because I like combat-oriented metroidvanias. It's an average game, that every big aspect should have been done better. Exploration sucks - the most important thing in metroidvanias, here you have few fast travels in weird places (it absolutely needed fast travel to every save point) and almost zero incentive to backtrack and look for secrets, there are few items to look for (like enhancers for HP, SP etc) but running somewhere and spending long minutes just for a small chance that there will be item and you won't be blocked by some late-game unlocker - just makes exploration bad Combat is average - fact that you get so easily staggered, one attack your way and you're staggered, so combat relies on idiotic jumping around enemies until you get advanced dash (late in the game), and combat also promotes combos with skills to buy but the fact that you're so easily staggered and enemies are not makes fighting just a bad experience And that is this game, gameloop is OK, voice acting (which is seldom in metroidvanias) surely adds few points to the final score, but average combat and bad exploration just make this game a thing that you won't recommend to anyone

Pro - You're a rabbit with a giant mech arm that punches when you punch - Amazing environmental details - Metroidvania lite - Great vibes; all your friends are animals and they're all mad at the Iron Dogs who are robots that are dogs and they're MEAN - I just like it! Con - Mediocre story, writing, and acting, but not bad - Something about the timing on the combos never quite stuck with me - No NG+, no 100% completion bonus, no hard mode, no replayablility if you get it all in one shot Play it! It's fun.

Feb. 2026

Good metroidvania with several flaws. I agree with other reviewers that said it is less than the sum of its parts. Combat is decent but becomes overly complicated as there is a combo system that really doesn't come into play except for the exceedingly difficult "training." Enemies can stunlock you and can feel unfair. Last two bosses are absolutely overpowered and feel totally out of spirit with the rest of the game. My biggest gripe? Fast travel points are sparse and map navigation is tedious (at best). Between a lot of the challenges being hidden behind overly convoluted combat challenges and excessive map exploration, I didn't bother for 100% achievements here. What I did like was the setting and the overall gameplay. It feels very well done, the atmosphere is nice. Story isn't anything to write home about but serves its purpose. Combat feels organic (again, outside the specific challenges) and fluid. The environments are cohesive yet diverse enough to feel fresh. Overall, I give it a solid B. Not outstanding, but for ~25 hours of gameplay, you can do a lot worse.

Dec. 2025

I enjoyed the world, the combat and the exploration a lot. Quite a pleasant surprise of a game.

Aug. 2025

After completing Forged Shadow Torch City on PS5, I played it again on PC for another 16 hours. I highly recommend this game—it boasts stunning visuals, smooth combat, and is a rare high-quality Metroidvania title. I really hope for a sequel and can't wait to see more!
