Alwa’s Legacy is a smooth metroidvania with many creative moments. It is exciting to explore the kingdom of Alwa because of the non-linear progression, the diversity of moments, the many interesting puzzles and the map full of secrets. In addition, the game has a pleasant atmosphere inspired by 16-bit era classics with its pixel art look and music with chiptune elements. The open structure allows the player to set the pace of the adventure, however it is sometimes easy to get lost or stuck in complicated spots. In the end, the combination of all these elements makes Alwa’s Legacy a great 2D platform title and a really fun experience.

Alwa’s Legacy is a vibrant adventure that takes some of the best aspects of the genre and puts just enough of a spin on it to set it apart. Using magic, puzzle-solving, and exploration through the charming world of Alwa is a real joy. There may be a few hiccups in its control scheme and execution, but it doesn’t take away from the overall experience.

If you need a Metroidvania in your life, it’s a good one. It’s simple to grasp and is very appropriate and playable for kids. It’s got a lot of charm. It’s just not very memorable for those of us who have played the greats of the genre.
