The second part of the metroidvania platform game series, launched in 2017. Inspired by the 16-bit hits, Alwa's Legacy takes us to the Alwa land, which we walk through as the heroine named Zoe.
Alwa's Legacy is a metroidvania game, developed in a platformer convention, which is the second part of the series initiated in 2017 by Alwa's Awakening project. This time the Elden Pixels studio decided to prepare a game inspired by hits from the 16-bits era. This game was created thanks to a successful crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter.
Alwa's Legacy takes us to the fantastic land of Alwa. The main heroine is Zoe, who has no idea how she got here, even though everything around her seems strangely familiar to her. Shortly afterwards, the protagonist learns from the mysterious character that she is the only hope to save Alva and her people. With no other choice, the girl decides to embark on a journey full of dangers.
In Alwa's Legacy, we observe the action from the side. During the game, we walk through extensive levels, among which we find both surface locations and extensive underground. Exploring them, equipped with a magic stick, Zoe solves environmental puzzles, jumps on platforms and avoids traps and field obstacles, and fights enemies. As we progress, we unlock improvements for the protagonist, which are useful both during exploration (individual places make up a kind of labyrinth, and access to many of them requires prior unlocking of a particular ability or acquiring a particular item) and during the fight against enemies.
Alwa's Legacy game is in retro style. The graphic design of this game was made in pixel art technique, and the fun goes on to the accompaniment of an ear-catching chiptune soundtrack.

Game Ratings for Alwa's Legacy Video Game.
Seafoam Gaming: 9 / 10 by Connor Nichols
Alwa’s Legacy feels like a proper step up from the original title, still maintaining that excellent metroidvania level design and encouraging players who can think outside the box to sequence break and play at their own pace. While I do feel the chaptered format of this game is a bit odd, and how the game can seem a bit too familiar to the original at points, this is still a must-have Metroidvania, and feels like a true refinement of everything that made Awakening so spectacular.
NintendoWorldReport: 8 / 10 by Neal Ronaghan
When everything clicks into place, Alwa's Legacy soars. The exploration is filled with brain-teasing challenges backed by a great chiptune soundtrack. Hiccups along the way, mostly due to some obtuse item uses, can bring the experience back to Earth, but thankfully, more often than not, this is a super fun game to make your way through.
Hey Poor Player: 4 / 5 by Heather Johnson Yu
Retro gamers, rejoice! Alwa’s Legacy is finally available on the Nintendo Switch, and boy does it feel good being here. If you have a Pro controller, do not hesitate to hook this bad boy up to the TV and play like you’re a kid again. Alwa’s Legacy will remind you of days gone by, when renting a game from Blockbuster and trying to beat it within a few days to avoid racking up crazy prices was the thing to do, and with pizza in one hand and drink of choice in the other, you really can’t go wrong making a retro night out of this. Be sure to check out Alwa’s Legacy for a fresh game with a familiar feel.
