Chiaroscuro and Reknum 2 kickstarters expiring, Supraland coming to modern consoles, Insect Adventures Demo, and new steam pages for 8 Bit Space and Deathstick.
Vigil: The Longest Night
4 out of 5. Greater than the sum of its parts. If you enjoy exploring an open Metroidvania world with the occasional amazing boss fight, then its charms can easily outweigh its flaws.

NINE new games to report on this week. Expiring kickstarter for Chiaroscuro with a Halloween update. Supraland is ported to Nintendo Switch. Three new Steam pages including Phoenotopia.
Ato
4 out of 5. Frenetic gameplay and novel and deep mechanics are wrapped up by an emotional silent narrative, making Ato one of more memorable experiences within the Metroidvania genre.
Metroidvania News – Oct 14 – New Kickstarters, Releases, and Steam Pages
Kickstarters for Retro Systems and Romancelvania, Warriorb Ported to Switch, Biomoass, Hargrave, Neon Fusion, and Vigil: the Longest Night Released, and four Steam pages for awesome looking games.
Smelted Kin
2 out of 5. The first half of the game is intensely engaging and has an alluring lonely atmosphere once you learn how to play, but the payoff for your efforts will likely leave you disappointed.
Metroidvania News – Oct 6 – New and Expiring Kickstarters, Switch Ports, New Release, Six Steam Pages
Haiku Kickstarter expiring, Chiaroscuro Kickstarter now available, Switch ports for Alwa’s Legacy and Mindseize, Janosik released, and six new steam pages!
Castlevania: Lament of Innocence
3 out of 5. Competent crunchy action and addictive exploration are marred by fixed camera angles and awkward story presentation, creating an enjoyable but somewhat flawed Belmont Origin story.
