Islets: A Wholesome Metroidvania Adventure
Islets is a charming metroidvania game developed by Kyle Thompson. It follows the story of Iko, an aspiring warrior who travels through floating islands in his rickety airship to reignite each one’s magnetic core. Along the way, he must battle against terrifying monsters and ruthless sky pirates in epic boss battles.
One of the most unique aspects of Islets is its emphasis on making connections with the people around you. By reuniting the islands and befriending a cast of charming characters, the world expands, revealing new parts of each area for Iko to explore. The game also features a visually stunning hand-painted world with lush, vivid environments for players to experience.
Scour every nook and cranny in order to collect the many upgrades hidden around this world and face its numerous hidden challenges. Discover upgrades to help you on your journey by completing challenges and uncover the islands’ many secrets. However, be careful of the tour guide who shows you around as he has some really weird vibes.
Overall, Islets is a delightful game that combines adventure, puzzle-solving, and combat in a unique and engaging way. It is a must-play for fans of the metroidvania genre and those who enjoy wholesome, heartwarming stories.
