Dozens of Metroidvanias for less than 5 dollars? It’s not a joke and it’s happening on Steam!

Gaming News Dozens of Metroidvanias for less than 5 dollars? It’s not a joke and it’s happening on Steam!

Metroidvania fans, you definitely won’t want to miss this particularly attractive news for your wallet and your simple pleasure. The hallowed platform Steam is currently hosting an event called “Metroidvania Fusion,” which not only brings together a bunch of future games to check out and demos to download, but also a bunch of great promotions for tons of gems. Surprisingly, the event is not organized by Steam itself, but by an external user, the publisher Ravenage.

The promotions are particularly interesting: note, for example, the presence of Blue Fire at the low price of $5.70 instead of $16.79, a successful combination between Zelda, Celeste and Hollow Knight, which we rate 15/20 in our columns have. The very recent “The Cub” with its post-apo world and its captivating soundtrack costs $8.87, while the cult film “Blasphemous” is very cheap at $6.24. The fascinating GRIME costs just $12.59, while Rain World and its strange snail cat costs $9.80. And for less than five dollars you can also find some more anonymous games. The list is long, so we invite you to consult the event’s Steam page directly to find out more about it.

2024, the year of Metroidvania?

Right now we’re eating Metroidvania by the bucketful. This genre is one of the big trends and was particularly influenced by the victorious return of Prince of Persia. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is a nice surprise to start the year with a rating of 16/20 and shines with its successful mix of combat, exploration, platforming and puzzles. And the good news: More free content is expected to be added to the game in the coming months, particularly a new, very difficult game mode. For a few weeks now we have also been offering you our preview of Tales of Kenzera: ZAU

, first game by Abubakar Salim, who you probably know as the interpreter of Bayek in Assassin’s Creed Origins. A very exciting experience that, according to our journalist Meakaya, “promises to be an original and intelligent grief experience”. So what’s going on this year?
