If you're a fan of Metroidvania games and feel like you've exhausted the current mobile offerings, get ready for the highly anticipated release of ReSetna. This upcoming title promises over 20 hours of intense side-scrolling action and is slated to hit mobile platforms in mid-2025. But if you can't wait, you can explore previews right now.
In ReSetna, you'll step into a world where humanity has vanished, leaving behind a society of living robots. As the advanced robot ReSetna, you awaken to a decaying machine world and must take action to reset the future. The game features a rich narrative set across seven distinct worlds, each offering unique challenges and environments.
As expected from the Metroidvania genre, ReSetna offers a robust set of gameplay mechanics. You'll utilize advanced movement techniques such as dashing and wall-jumping to navigate increasingly complex areas. The game includes formidable boss battles and a Tetronimo-style upgrade system, allowing you to enhance ReSetna's abilities over time.
The Metroidvania genre, while perhaps a bit of a cliché, remains beloved for good reason. It's challenging to craft a game in this style that doesn't flow well, and the side-scrolling perspective makes even expansive maps easy to navigate.
