"El Shaddai is one of those gems that are hidden beneath a lot of flaws and technicalities. As a game it’s not the greatest but its the prime example of a game that excels in some areas while failing in others. And for that every future game designer should play it. Here’s why." - FirstDropShow.com
A classic action game makes its triumphant return on the Nintendo Switch
El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is an action game by Ignition Tokyo and UTV Ignition Games for PS3 and Xbox 360, later released on Switch.
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Presenting El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron to a new audience and preserving it for future generations is a great thing, especially considering its cult status. Whether that audience will enjoy it is another matter entirely. Due to its cryptic storytelling, repetitive combat, and clumsy platforming, it doesn't quite escape the orbit of mediocrity. Still, there's a lot to admire, including exciting boss battles, impressive production design, and powerful music. If nothing else, it's an ambitious game with a singular vision. And that's something to celebrate."
Its a pretty cool game. i have the 360 version but Id buy the switch to play on the go.
Beat it a couple weeks ago, really is an amazing game. Could have done better with the flow of the story, but the art work is simply amazing. Boss fights are awesome too, requires a lot of skill for some.
