Anyone here played Dread? I have a Metroidvania itch and after trying and hating Blasphemous I was thinking about trying Dread.
Dread is really good. It has all the parts from the Metroid II remake that felt like they didn’t work and polishes them up nicely.
It’s also a lot more streamlined than Super Metroid despite having a much larger map. There’s less Bombing Everything to figure out where to go without feeling oversimplified
Honestly probably one of the best 2D Metroid games. A bit of a different formula than the classics and felt more linear, but it’s a damn good game
Eh, I kinda despised the art direction and soundtrack.
Yeah the soundtrack was rather meh. The music in the trailer for Ravenous points at them shoring up that aspect, hopefully.
It’s pretty good. It runs pretty well on PC ROM emulator if that’s an option for you.
PC ROM? I thought it was a switch game.
Yes, but the Switch already has great emulators on the PC (i.e. Yuzu).
Oh ok. My bad. PC ROM made me think of DOS for some reason.
Dread rocks. Great game.

Smh I guess you don’t like Easter then
I am sorry but I don’t get this joke, Everything I know about Easter is from a South Park episode.
The game draws a lot from Easter (Holy Week) in Spain. The protagonist of the game wears a cone-shaped “hat” (and is even called “the penitent one”) like the penitents that march that time of the year in real life.
Thanks. To be honest I quite liked the protagonist and his conical hat. I also wish my nickname was The Penitent One. It sounds cool even though it doesn’t apply to me. The game’s themes were very intriguing but the gameplay just wasn’t fun for me. It felt like an NES-era platformer where the difficulty comes from being annoying as fuck.
Yeah, it was pretty clunky but I’m happy when Spanish games get famous (like Denshattack recently)
It’s the first and only one I’ve played, so I had no bias or expectations, and I had a good time.
I personally really disliked it, because it took my most hated mechanic from Samus Returns for the 3DS (QTE parrying) and tripled down on it
sucks to suckThey stopped printing them??? Didn’t it just come out?
That’s Nintendo for you
I FUCKING LOVE THE VIDEO GAME MARKET RIGHT NOW.I need to emulate this. Grew up on Super and loved the GBA ones.
It’s really good
Damn I have two copies and the other one I never opened
I bought a copy just to have one but played it emulated because it just ran better that way. Still sealed too. Hmm
