Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo rebounds onto the scene with plenty of charm and clever gameplay, much like the games that came before it.
Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo is a well-made and hard-hitting metroidvania that hits all the right notes and sticks the landing with its proverbial yoyo shenanigans.With lovely graphics & sound from legendary composer Yoko Shimomura (catchy tracks and all), a cute plot concerning gentrification of all topics in a landscape of anthropomorphic beings, and fun-yet-challenging metroidvania action using your yoyo and other related antics, file this title under the dark horse category of standout indie games of 2025.
More than a "yoyovania," Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo is a great tribute to all great Game Boy Advance games, understanding the appeal of both their minimalism and their maximalism.
