BrutalGamer Bringing you Brutally Honest feedback from today's entertainment industry.
From development house Hadoque, Ultros is a color-washed, wild and way-out metroidvania making its way to consoles and PC in 2024.
Whoa, far out
At its core, Ultros is a metroidvania. But this side-scrolling action/adventure is anything but what you normally expect to see from the genre in terms of visuals (and audio). It’s a little tough to describe without actually seeing it in motion, but the self-tag of “psychedelic” definitely fits.
Oh, and there’s gardening.
ULTROS is a psychedelic sci-fi adventure that creates a beautiful symphony of action and gardening. Players assume the role of Ouji, a nimble sojourner thrust into a visually stunning world of vibrant colors and strange creatures with art from the mind of renowned artist, El Huervo. As Ouji, players will take on bizarre enemies such as Puppaluppas, stringing together combos with satisfying fast, fluid combat and eating their guts to replenish her health and boost her nutritional stats. The frenetic action is counterbalanced with serene gardening gameplay, while the haunting soundtrack, inspired by classical and Peruvian music history, ebbs and flows with its own atmospheric style.
