Critic Reviews
- Vernal Edge balances the feel of old-school Metroidvanias while adding quality-of-life features you’ll miss when playing other games in the genre. Platforming has the right amount of difficulty, and there’s enough variety in combat to keep you coming back for more – even if that means fighting nearly identical enemies. The story won’t blow you away, though it’s passable and doesn’t take away from the action.
Tyler Mason · Mar 27, 2023 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Vernal Edge is a thrilling character action game mixed with an intricate, connected world that’s a joy to explore. The story may not be anything to write home about, but the combat and platforming more than make up for that.
David Flynn · Mar 24, 2023 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - This is an interesting, creative Metroid-like that actually tries to do its own thing in a lot of ways. Plus, mastering the combat is quite rewarding, even if you’ll be fighting the same handful of foes time and again.
Andrew Farrell · Mar 14, 2023 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Vernal Edge is a fantastic Metroidvania, with silky smooth combat, great movement abilities, and gorgeous pixel graphics. The freedom you have to explore this massive floating universe is really refreshing, even if the lack of direction can get frustrating. With satisfying upgrades, varied gameplay, and a host of interesting ideas, Vernal Edge isn’t one to sleep on.
Lyle Carr · Apr 13, 2023 Reviewed on PCRead full review - The story is engaging, and it’s made even more engaging because of the very strong character of Vernal. There are countless main characters in video games who start off as unsure, lacking confidence in themselves, and who generally feel like they aren’t good enough: it’s been done.
Ash Mercia · Apr 10, 2023 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Com um combate cheio de alternativas, uma história intrigante e uma excelente ambientação, Vernal Edge não é apenas um jogo com sua identidade própria, mas também é muito especial. Com isso, ele merece um lugar de destaque na lista de desejos de qualquer fã de jogos metroidvania.
Marco Aurélio Couto · Mar 27, 2023 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Vernal Edge è un buon metroidvania con una storia intrigante, anche se non molto originale, delle meccaniche di esplorazione e combattimento molto solide e un sistema di progressione innovativo che vi farà navigare tra le isole di un arcipelago fluttuante a bordo di un galeone volante.
Riccardo Lichene · Mar 29, 2023 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full review - Un metroidvania che inizialmente sembra appoggiarsi su stilemi fin troppo abusati, ma che progressivamente spicca il volo verso una propria forte identità grazie ad un’eccellente narrativa, un ottimo combat system, buone opzioni di personalizzazione e un mix platform/avventura/azione ben bilanciato.
