    Perhaps Iconoclasts just tries to do a bit too much of everything, which is stunning considering it has come from a single person’s creative drive, which is so compellingly impressive. A decent edit of the script, fewer bosses and puzzle repetitions, and the rest could have been refined even more.

    An old school game that may be too old on things like variety, but beyond that you'll love this indie proposal if you are into metroidvania games.

    An uneven mix of the overfamiliar and the surprisingly inspired, but the gorgeous graphics alone make this a Metroidvania to remember.

    The game’s good enough to keep me hooked without the religious intrigue, but the challenge of piecing together how it all works, especially after some early revelations about the nature of the militaristic agents who carry out their god’s will, has gotten me even more invested.

    It's not actually a metroidvania. It's more like 2D Uncharted with better puzzles and battles (especially boss battles) than in actualIt's not actually a metroidvania. It's more like 2D Uncharted with better puzzles and battles (especially boss battles) than in actual Uncharted. I was surprised how varied and dynamic this game is. Very impressive for one man project. Story isn't deep but very enthralling and It reminded me a little about old Final Fantasy games (esp. FF VII and IX). I think that game is little longer that it should be but exсept that it is very good action/adventure with nostalgic story.… Full Review »

    Its starts like a charm, but halfway through it becomes boring, unnecessary hard, with massive amount of empty dialogs.

    I enjoyed the overall gameplay and the fantastic storyline, since most metroidvania types don't really have an deep story.
