Um jogo que facilmente seria uma "joia perdida do GBA" ou algo do tipo.

Pixel art insanamente bem trabalhada que me lembram jogos de Gameboy Advance como Drilldozer e Mega Man Zero com alguns sprites se mechendo igual inimigos de Castlevania Order of Eclesia de DS, por isso quando jogo Iconoclasts sinto como se fosse jogos desses consoles. Sua gameplay é um run and gun com metroidvania parecidíssimo com Mega Man ZX, com puzzles realmente divertidos de se resolver e um mapa fácil de se locomover, nunca fiquei perdido sem saber aonde ir.

Uma história fascinante com personagens falhos em um mundo também defeituoso, onde sua salvação é sua falha de nunca desistir em salvar os outros custe o que custar. Simplesmente uma obra de arte.

ps:Uma pena que a tão prometida tradução pra português nunca foi lançada, mancada >:(

Thought I was getting a metroidvania but the game is more so multiple puzzle rooms that are annoying to solve with mid 2D combat and I story I could not get invested in

I remember waiting for Iconoclasts to release, back when I first got my computer. I only really knew of Konjak’s flash games, but I was very excited for whatever reason. I was a stupid nintendrone back then, so indie games were a big interest I guess.

Upon replay, I have a lot more to appreciate. In terms of gameplay, while the combat and movement are a little boring, I think the exploration and the puzzles are fun. The bosses are awesome too; they’ve got really sick pixel art, and there’s great art direction here in general. Gnarly machines, dope character designs with dope powers. There’s a person that shoots different laser beams out of his eyes depending on which glasses he puts on. Love that shit.

Storywise, this is a good message about giving a shit, and caring for people even if you don’t have a reason. The dialogue is well-written, and the characters explore some serious subjects. I love the world and lore of this game as well. I almost wish there was a prequel maybe about Elro or the One Concern. Certainly doesn’t need it but it’d be cool.
I really recommend this if you like a little indie spectacle. It’s short and engaging. Reminds me why I love indies
