Throw in its placing visible type with a wealthy shade palette, and you’ve got one thing particular. Engadget's Lawrence Bonk found it to be "a unbelievable metroidvania that would simply sit subsequent to a number of the classics of the style, like Hole Knight and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night time."
It even has a helpful "reminiscence shards" function that different metroidvania titles would do nicely to repeat: Seize a screenshot of an space you need to return to later and pin it to your map. Lest the neat mechanic make issues too straightforward (one thing the style hardly ever has to fret about), you solely get a restricted variety of reminiscence shard slots.
Regardless of receiving rave opinions throughout the board, The Misplaced Crown reportedly solely bought round 300,000 copies throughout its first few weeks after launch, so Ubisoft did its Ubisoft factor and disbanded the team that made it.

Basking within the glow of the acclaimed 2024 entry Armored Core: Fires of Rubicon, Sony is popping again the clock to the collection' roots.
