It's a game that games.

Story Time.

There used to be a bug with this game back on XBLA where you could bypass the demo by doing something in the menus as the first boss died.

I remember playing through this entire game, then playing through the entire game again in the same day after purchasing it.

This game still feels just as good here, many years later. It's not a terrible metroidvania at all. It plays its cards pretty straight, and you don't really get any Bs.

If you like Metroidvanias and you want something thats 2.5D, try this out.
