DeathStick - A Metroidvania/Slasher Platformer

[Marc]

The game was revealed to be coming to the Switch later in Q3 2022. It's a bit of a wait, but it might be worth it from the looks of the trailer.

DeathStick is a metroidvania/slasher platformer. I think you play as Mako, a young girl who needs to save her world from destruction. You'll dive into the world of Aarkalia to uncover its secrets and put an end to the ancient God awakening ritual.

DeathStick Teaser Trailer:

Someone tell me this doesn't look cool

That's a long wait but hey it might be good.

What did you think about the teaser trailer?

That trailer showing the multiple layouts looks very new. It has a lot of decent and creative abilities. I don't know if I like the pixel look but it makes it stand out.

I like a lot about it. Definitely seems like something I’d enjoy. Air dashing, lots of combat with combos, dragon companion that doubles as a weapon, lots of enemy variety, as well as unique environments that span outdoor settings and futuristic cities. Sign me up.

You can tell by how quick that teaser was that it’s still in the early stages though. Over a year of development time could affect a lot of what’s in that video.

I love the music.

Female protagonist, stellar visuals, teleportation, and what looks like the ability to manipulate time? I'd love to try playing it.

The art style is really nice, especially. I like MC's outfit, too.
