A Sci-Fi, 2D Platformer, Shooter, Taking Us Back To The 90s in This Mystery Metroidvania
26.03.2024 - 20:37 / gamesreviews.com
Developed by Evan Tor Games and published by JanduSoft, this is a Sci-Fi mystery shooter that everyone has to try. Rebel Transmute is the Metroid of our year. It is a take on a classic Metroidvania with a kick of colors and extreme exploration. While it is revolutionized, I think that the graphics and audio really kicks us off back into the feel of the 90s, giving both old and new gamers something to enjoy.
The Story:
You play Moon Mikono, a moon scrapper. You start off the game flying in a spaceship, on a mission to find your missing mother. A disturbance nearby causes you to fly toward a planet that is extremely dangerous making your spaceship malfunction andd causing you to crash into this unknown location. You start the game being revived in a stasis pod, learning that you have been asleep for years, due to the extremely life threatening crash. You have lost precious time in finding the truth out about your missing mother, all while confronting dangerous enemies and battling your way out of the mess you are in. As you explore this planet, you meet various friendly robot NPC characters and this game began to give me major Haiku, the Robot vibes and this made my soul happy.
Metroid? Or Metroidvania?
As some of you might know by now, I am not a Metroid fan of the Metroidvania genre. This is because I have never been much into the Sci-Fi portion, plus the shooter aspect of the game. I am not saying that all Metroid games are only this, the Metroid genre is a lot greater than this. I find the Metroid part of Metroidvanias to mean a more fast-paced gameplay, with strong elements of exploration and puzzle solving to advance into the next portion of the map. This just so happens to be that a majority of Metroid games end up having shmup elements and a Sci-Fi environment.
When I first tried Rebel Transmute I had already requested to review this game, without even knowing what I was getting myself into. To be frank, I like to get my hands on all Metroidvanias, because at this point, this is what I want to be known for, “Alie and her metroidvanias”, but of course, I never want to admit, that not all Metroidvanias are my cup of tea. This is because Metroidvanias these days are so diverse, that not all the elements included in every Metroidvania would be something that interests all of us, and that’s okay. We should have different tastes when it comes to games. Anyway, enough rambling about me, let me get to the point: When Metroidvania Fusion happened a few weeks back, I streamed the demo to Rebel Transmute, I was stuck at this small area where an influx of enemies were attacking me and I would just die over and over again. I got so scared that I wouldn’t end up liking the game that I almost
