El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron HD Remaster release date set for April, new trailer
December 20: It’s been a long time coming, but El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron HD Remaster now has a release date on Switch. Rainy Frog announced today that the game launches on April 28, 2024.
El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron HD Remaster is an updated version of the 2011 game. The Switch version was announced in April 2022, and there have been few updates since then.
Here’s an overview of the game:
El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron, originally released in 2011, is a unique third-person action adventure filled with a deeply artistic world-building, outstanding aesthetics and thrilling battles. Experience an incredible mix of 2D-like platformer action and a colorful 3D world in an exceptional setting.
El Shaddai’s artistic setting aims to provide a canvas-like world that changes in an organic way as long as you progress your adventure. The world keeps changing constantly in the most creative and innovative ways, perhaps even nostalgic.
You’ll only have four buttons: jump, attack, guard and weapon stealing. But this simple way of proceeding is deeper than one can expect. There is no need of manuals or walkthroughs to get into the game, but if anyone is ready to deepen into the mechanics, the game will offer a profound, precise and rewarding timing-based action experience. The motto of El Shaddai’s gameplay always was to be “easy but profound”. Many of the game’s mechanics such as the offense-defense systems were carefully created to provide the best possible game feel.
