Chronicles of 2 Heroes: Amaterasu’s Wrath isn’t a bad game; it’s just not a great one either. Despite how pretty it is, the gameplay is wildly unbalanced at times, and that’s without touching on the glitches that slowed me down. Even though this is the updated version of the adventure, I’d say it still could use a bit more fine-tuning.
Josh Speer · Jun 29, 2024 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewIts drawbacks are a shame because the game has a good foundation. The underlying switching mechanic is strong and most of the platforming is solid in theory. It feels like this one needed more time in the oven, but a more refined version–or a sequel left to gestate–would probably provide a great time. As it stands, Chronicles of 2 Heroes is a mildly frustrating experience that I had to convince myself to keep playing for this review.
Zachary Miller · Aug 01, 2023 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewChronicles of 2 Heroes is a solid platformer with a few quirks. Its challenges are unevenly distributed and its physics are rough, but I like the hero switching concept and I found a lot of fun in taking on some of the game’s difficult puzzles. I can definitely recommend this game to the folks that love pixel-perfect jumps.
Genghis Husameddin · Jun 15, 2023 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full reviewChronicles of 2 Heroes: Amaterasu’s Wrath is full of fantastic platforming and clever ideas, but has a few dodgy elements that prevent it from being truly great. The map and parry are just plain bad, and the difficulty is a little excessive, especially at the very start of the game. The two-character system and amount of upgrades you get for each of them is really impressive, but it probably won’t be enough for most people to forgive its issues.
Lyle Carr · May 31, 2023 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewChronicles of 2 Heroes had me as soon as I realised how tight its jump mechanics are. It’s a big game changer when a studio nails the fundamentals from the outset, and it made the early going far more enjoyable. And this was before the better mechanics and abilities played their part in mixing things up and keeping the experience fresh. There’s a few elements that didn’t quite work along the way, true, but I’m happy to recommend it as one of the hidden gems of the year so far, a title that confidently follows in the footsteps of its predecessors and delivers on the promise it holds.
Mark Isaacson · Jun 05, 2023 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewChronicles of 2 Heroes: Amaterasu's Wrath llega a PC y consolas como un solvente metroidvania inspirado en la época de los 16 bits, con mecánicas jugables muy originales que nos animan a alternar constantemente entre ambos protagonistas para combinar sus habilidades diametralmente opuestas y superar así los constantes retos y desafíos, incluyendo enemigos muy variados y jefes finales de lo más interesantes.
Cristian Ciuraneta · Jun 07, 2023 Reviewed on PC, PS5, Series X|S, PS4, XB1, SwitchRead full reviewChronicles of 2 Heroes: Amaterasu’s Wrath é desafiador e sabe se apoiar nos bons parâmetros tanto da estética adotada como no modelo metroidvania de progresso, mas é na dinâmica de troca de personagens em tempo real onde está seu verdadeiro diferencial.
Paulo Roberto Montanaro · Jul 05, 2023 Reviewed on PS5Read full reviewChronicles of 2 Heroes: Amaterasu’s Wrath sorprende per il suo game design ben confezionato. Da citare è soprattutto la varietà che possono offrire gli scontri; alcuni di essi sono ostici e cattivi, così cattivi da essere folli specie nelle fasi finali dell’esperienza. Al tempo stesso, tuttavia, sono stato coinvolto da un mondo di gioco ottimamente rappresentato, definito al massimo con una pixel art meravigliosa. Optare per un contesto diverso, mai adoperato prima e per nulla scontato, mette alla luce delle qualità senza ombra di dubbio superlative e particolareggiate.
