Ignition entertainment, the publisher of the game, said in a press release that details on both European and North American launches would be revealed shortly.
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.
I did not even realize how awesome this game sounds, and with such a strong dev team, too. Thanks!
This, The Last Story, Catherine and Night Of The Sacrifice; they're all out soon over there and we'll have to wait months for a release announcement that may or may not come. In The Last Story's case, it'll be the latter unfortunately.
I so want this game though. It looks like a painting come to life. Like that bit in Mary Poppins, but without the comedy penguins.
Definitely an interesting-looking title. I've kept my eye on it the past few months. Looks promising.
