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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I can't believe that I was tricked by all of this game's great ideas. I played for about 5 or 6 hours and eventually ran into a boss fight that was unwinable. He turns invisible and you are supposed to hit him, but there's no indication on where he's coming from and he grabs and hits you every time. It's like trying to fight the active cammo soldiers in MGS but without any indication of their last position. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Expand

    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.

    It’s still kind of incredible to think that a single developer working alone made something like Iconoclasts, but after playing, it’s easy to see why it took as long as it did. Rough patches might remain, but Iconoclasts is a singular effort that, had it lived in the time of its inspirations, might have stood tall alongside them to inspire future generations of creators. In present day, it’s a sharply contemporary work that incorporates those lessons to result in a brilliant, unique experience.

    Iconoclasts might be the most beautiful Metroidvania we have played these past few years. The concepts are not very original, but this game feels like a love letter to the ‘90’s in many ways.
