Minoria Reviews
While the game may not always stack up to its peers in production value, those interested in delving into an action RPG crafted with equal amounts of love and nightmares could do worse than giving this one a chance.
Minoria proves itself as an excellent indie Metroidvania to spend time on Switch. The tragic adventure does not bring new ideas to the genre, but it offers a agile experience that fulfills the basics in a very competent way. Featuring an interesting history and a charming art style, you can see that this Brazilian title was made with great care.

Minoria offers a pleasant anime design and some spectacular combat animations, but it disappoints as a metroidvania game, with a too simplistic design, unsatisfying progression system and a troublesome difficult balancement.

Minoria doesn’t revolutionise the Metroidvania genre in any way, but its slick combat mechanics and desolate yet beautiful world ensure that its dark adventure is one that’s worth embarking on. Add to that a genuinely engaging story and some excellent boss encounters, and you’ll quickly find yourself completely hooked into its grim battle against heretic witches.
Never been a huge fan of the Metroidvania genre, but Minoria (along with Touhou Luna Nights) came out of left field to surprise and sink its teeth in me. The simplistic combat mixed with the various Incenses, gothic setting and its haunting score and the challenging boss battles makes for a great game. It won’t be a cakewalk and does require a bit of mastery of the dodging/parring, but within the first hour, everything feels right and clicks. If you can tolerate backtracking through the map and the deep exploration, Minoria is a must-play.
A fluid metroidvania, Minoria has some good music vibe and fluid movement which makes it a joy t osee in motion, although some of the finer gameplay details are nowhere to be found and the combat is rather simplistic.

Though it treads familiar ground, a spiritual sequel to Momodora can’t possibly be a bad thing, right?
