The Metroidvania genre just got another promising entry in the form of Altered Alma, a neon-drenched cyberpunk adventure that launched on Kickstarter with lightning speed, reaching its funding goal in under six hours.
Altered Alma – Official Kickstarter Trailer
Set in a futuristic Neo Barcelona, Altered Alma invites players to explore a world that combines the gritty, atmospheric tension of Blade Runner with the deep, character-driven storyline of Mass Effect. The game’s unique twist comes in the form of the Quantum Blade, a weapon that not only enhances your combat abilities but also allows you to teleport instantly across the battlefield. You can blink behind enemies for a surprise attack and dodge deadly strikes with the blade in your hands.
As you explore the sprawling, labyrinthine city of Neo Barcelona, you’ll discover personal stories, forge relationships, and make choices that will directly impact your journey. Fans on Kickstarter are praising the game’s vibrant art, fluid animations, and incredible soundtrack that perfectly captures the cyberpunk vibe.
You play as Jack, a former top enforcer turned fugitive who must navigate the dangerous streets and shifting alliances of Neo Barcelona. The relationships you build with your crew and the decisions you make along the way will not only impact the story, but could change the fate of the entire city—and perhaps the cosmos.
