The Metroidvania genre just got a serious upgrade with Altered Alma, a neon-drenched cyberpunk adventure that blew up on Kickstarter, hitting its funding goal in just six hours! Break the long wait for Silksong (which still has no news) with a game ready to shake up the genre with its intense combat, deep story and amazing gameplay mechanics.
Set in a futuristic New Barcelona, Altered Alma invites players to explore a world that fuses the gritty, atmospheric tension of Blade Runner with the deep, characterful storytelling of Mass Effect. The game’s unique twist comes in the form of the Quantum Blade, a weapon that not only enhances your combat skills but also allows you to teleport instantly across the battlefield. Enjoy sneaking behind enemies for a surprise attack or dodging lethal attacks with this speedy weapon.
As you explore the vast, labyrinthine city of New Barcelona, you’ll discover personal stories, forge relationships, and make choices that directly impact your journey. Fans on Kickstarter are already praising the game’s vibrant art, smooth animations, and incredible music that perfectly captures the cyberpunk vibe.
What really sets Altered Alma apart from other Metroidvania games is its commitment to story and character development. You play as Jack, a former top enforcer turned fugitive who must adventure through the dangerous streets and shifting alliances of New Barcelona. The relationships you build with your crew and the decisions you make along the way will not only affect the story, but could even change the fate of the entire city – and possibly the cosmos.
The excitement doesn’t stop there. Following the rapid success of their Kickstarterthe developers announced their first stretch goal: Boss Rush Mode, where you can take on harder versions of the game’s bosses in a challenge-style gauntlet. This should be a great feature for those who want to test their skills even more while being cheered on by the citizens of New Barcelona.
Altered Alma looks like it will be a must-have game for fans of Metroidvania and cyberpunk games. If you’re looking for a fresh, exciting adventure that pushes the boundaries of what a Metroidvania can be, Altered Alma is the game you don’t want to miss! List it now steam!
