Oct 28, 2024Awaken: Astral Blade is a metroidvania that doesn't break new ground. Without any innovation, the game only shines in combat and presents a world that is not very interesting, while offering a slow and tiring experience.

Nov 29, 2024Awaken Astral Blade combines the classic metroidvania genre with a few clever in-house variations. Even if it doesn't entirely stand out from the competition, Awaken Astral Blade is well worth a look.

Oct 25, 2024Awaken: Astral Blade has managed to grow into an acceptable and entertaining game, but it still has obvious limitations for its production ambitions. Although it fails to stand out among action metroidvanias, it also does not fall below that level and caters to those looking to explore an unknown sci-fi world in command of an anime girl.

Nov 4, 2024AWAKEN- Astral Blade is truly a mixed bag across the board. Engaging combat and beautiful environments and design are real high points in this streamlined version of the MetroidVania genre. However, a forgettable and boring story which fails to build upon the promise of an intriguing protagonist, poor enemy design and a middling musical score stop this game from reaching its potential and make the game seem a cheap imitation.

Nov 6, 2024With a multitude of Metroidvanias out there, a prospective new entry in the genre must stand out from the pack to get attention. Awaken – Astral Blade certainly stands out, but not in a good way. A poor story, poor collision detection, and overly floaty platforming combine to provide an unforgettable experience, just for all the wrong reasons.
