This one really surprised me. I love that it was made right before hollow Knight came out so it feels refreshing in that sense before everyone started copying the formula. This game also got me into SHMUPS, it takes a little getting used to the weird hitbox but once it clicks, it clicks! It's super satisfying finding all the power ups scattered all over the map.

Metroidvania is a subgenre of video games focused on guided non-linearity and utility-gated exploration. The term, popularized by video game critic Jeremy Parish, is a portmanteau of Metroid and Castlevania.
This is a cloned community from Reddit. I intend to hand over mod support to the original mods should they choose to migrate to Lemmy.

How long is it and what about the story and lore? Is the world interesting? I also hesitate because of the anime style.
The story and lore totally fit the cute anime style. You play a pet rabbit who woke up in human form. I think the main quest line is to find out why. There's a bunny lover's club that keeps trying to capture you. With the exception of a few enemies, every character is a girl and they're almost all wearing swimsuits for some reason. It's rather silly. I'm just here for the gameplay.
I don't know how long it is. I'm 20 hours in with 50% map completion.
That's longer than I expected, which is a good thing. I'll give it a chance in the future.
Ok, I bought it ;-)
