Professional reviews from gaming critics
Alwa's Awakening makes a number of questionable choices with its slow gameplay mechanics, but the core experience provides fun and challenging platforming and magic abilities.
The result is a really splendid example of the form, with enough original ideas of its own within the standard to make it interesting. It's a good, solid game, that's occasionally extremely tough, but always fair. The pixel art is lovely, and although the backgrounds are a little bland, animations go a good way to make up for that. Lovers of chiptunes will delight in its soundtrack, authentic to the 8-bit era, and well composed. It's the sort of game that deserves to stand out, not get lost in the mix.
Grab your magic staff and set out to save the world in Elden Pixels' Metroidvania puzzle-platformer.
Alwa’s Awakening is an interesting homage to a classic game that manages to stand out -- but not by much.
