Hi everyone! Yesterday I was checking the demo of Acrolyte, a pixel art metroidvania. The think I liked the most was the controls scheme, it was like the old game Abuse, keyboard for movement and mouse for aiming. So my question is, do you know any other modern (or not as modern) games that are similar? As in side scroller where you aim with the mouse. Doesn’t matter if it is 2D, 2.5D or pixel art.

Cheers!

    Oh, also: Rochard - if you can get it anywhere, it is pretty dope. It’s a bit of a mix of action & puzzle platformer but with Abuse-like controls. It was pulled from steam years ago, dunno if it’s available on consoles still.

      I’ve played it long ago. Doesn’t it end on a cliffhanger of sort? Or am I confusing it with something else?

      I kinda remember being annoyed with the state the plot was left in.

        honestly, can’t remember the plot at all, it’s been about 3 eternities since I’ve played it. I do recall liking the gameplay tho. :P
