Iconoclasts Screw-loose adventures In Iconoclasts you play as Robin, a young mechanic armed with nothing more than her wrench, standing against a world ruled by a religious authority that insists on conformity. When you think about it, it is a striking image: a heroine defined not by a sword or gun, but by the tools of repair. Iconoclasts wants you to believe that fixing is as heroic as fighting, and that rebellion can be quiet, stubborn, and deeply human. The Metroidvania genre has always been about exploration, the joy of discovering what lies behind the locked door, the satisfaction of returning stronger to places once forbidding. Iconoclasts enters this tradition with ambition. It wants to be both a puzzle-platformer and a moral fable, a story about faith and individuality told through the rhythms of combat and discovery. Yet, where Hollow Knight finds poetry in silence and Blasphemous in suffering, Iconoclasts too often feels burdened by its own sermon. The craftsmanship is undeniable. The pixel art is bright, painterly, and full of personality. Characters are quirky, their dialogue earnest (although I will admit clunky). The puzzles, many built around Robin’s wrench, are clever, and the game’s systems function with competence. But the combat is stiff, the exploration linear, and the story, though ambitious, is delivered with a heavy hand. The result is a game that feels polished but restrained, unwilling to let its mechanics breathe with the freedom the genre demands. What Iconoclasts attempts is admirable: a fusion of narrative depth with mechanical invention. But the balance fees really off. The story slows the pace, the puzzles interrupt the flow, and the exploration never achieves the intoxicating rhythm that defines the best of its peers. It is a lecture disguised as an adventure, and while the lecture has merit, the adventure suffers. As a gamer I always like my reviews to pose the question of whether the game is worth the price of admission, and more importantly, the demand on your time? At its best, Iconoclasts is a curiosity, a thoughtful experiment in indie design, a game that wants to say something meaningful about belief and individuality. At its worst, it is a reminder that ambition alone does not guarantee transcendence. For players seeking tight mechanics and exhilarating exploration, there are better choices. For those curious about narrative ambition in games, it offers moments worth experiencing, though not enough to demand your precious hours. Not a waste, but not essential. A game that fixes, but never quite builds. One word or phrase to sum up the experience Clever in places but too heavy-handed to truly captivate. Performance/Bug related incidents I had zero issue while playing the game.

I don't always write game reviews- yet I felt I HAD to write at least something about Iconoclasts, other than "game gud". This game was stitting on my wishlist for a while (basically since its release), and despite it going frequently on discounts, I never really had the will to buy and play it. I simply did not want to be disappointed. Not because of my fears that this game might be bad, but because it grew bigger in my head than it really is. I will be honest- I felt inspired by it. A game that looks good, sounds good and made by a SINGLE GUY? I wanted it to live in my head, as a perfect monument to the creative power of a single artist. But, sooner or later, you have to face the reality. In reality Iconoclasts DID NOT disappoint. Far from it. It is a delightful game with memorable characters, unique bosses and a lot of soul poured into it. I will be thinking a lot about it and its moments. I do have to mention some drawbacks of it. Namely it has some rather irritating puzzles and bosses which felt like banging my head aganist a wall- but nothing a YT video can't fix. The story also felt a bit all over the place at times, but it all came together in the end. So yeah, game gud
Let's go, in-and-out, twenty minutes adventure >proceeds to be brutally traumatized by a 15 hour long gut-wrenching tale of religious fanaticism, surveillance state, class segregation, climatic disaster, violence and oppresion, body disfigurement, cosmic horror and existentialism. Oh, and cute, colorful spritework too.
Banging game. Couple of spoilers in the review though. All of the art is incredibly detailed, enemy designs are excellent. The bosses and story are intertwined and serve as a consistent pleasure to play through. I appreciate the narrative in its ability to not retreat into an entirely happy ending. The surprisingly dark content isn't brushed aside, characters don't just forget the bad stuff which happens to them. It's the key competent aspect. The characters act like arrogant, selfish prats. They have good reason to. Every character is a victim of some aspect of their lives, it varies but none of them see it in each other. They don't relent in their ideals and it feels amazing to watch. The villains are all victims. The heroes are all victims. The game doesn't pretend otherwise and doesn't force you into moral choices on it. Its the theme of 'You can't save everyone, but it wasn't your responsibility in the first place. You have to try though.'. Being a victim doesn't mean you can't be a terrible terrible person, it just contextualises things. This is probably the most prominent examples in the game. If you haven't played, please don't open this spoiler tag. Royal's death on the moon was incredibly effective. Having been able to save almost everyone, to have been saving him through the whole game. Then to be utterly hopeless in helping him as he once again throws a tantrum... all for nothing really. The implications around his death, what the Starworm did to his mind. It was amazing. He didn't have to lash out at it, but it showed that he couldn't change, even if he really really did want to. Agent Blacks final fight is one of the most memorable I've done. She's relentless and it perfectly closes off her character. She was a victim. She was cultivated into being this angry, volatile beast in the end, and you can't help her. Beating her, her coming back as the Ivory beast. To then beating her again, where she clings on with what little she has as the Ivory Crawler... It was honestly amazing alongside the OST I really do recommend it. It's cheap, a labour of love from Joakim Sandberg. My main pain is that I can't go into it blind again. It's truly a torture... If you already have it, buy it for a friend. Treat yourself!
