    Summum Aeterna takes a difficult Metroidvania and converts the basic ideas and characters to a roguelike. The result is a lot of fun, somehow managing to capture the best parts of the original game in a more digestible chunk. It isn't necessarily going to win you over if you dislike roguelike titles, but if you were a fan of Noctis, you must try Summum, which has all the makings of a perfect gateway drug to roguelikes.

    The exoskeleton of Aeterna Noctis solidifies a roguelite that, without a doubt, comes to reaffirm that the Spanish videogame development industry is already of global quality. Despite essential limitations that take it away from greatness, Summum Aeterna boasts hundreds of hours of entertainment for those who are willing to be absorbed by its demanding universe, thus becoming a respectable representative of a genre full of titans.

    Summum Aeterna is a decent roguelike adventure with a great aesthetic and superb music, but its gameplay loop and protagonist left me a little cold.

    Summum Aeterna has some intriguing ideas, bogged down by unoriginality and unsatisfying combat.
