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.

Short but sweet, Alwa’s Legacy is a must for both retro fans and fans of quality, exciting Metroidvanias. The visuals tout some of the best pixel art on Switch and are joined with a killer soundtrack and sound design. With clever dungeons to explore and an intricate overworld to travel, Alwa’s Legacy will have players ensnared from the beginning to end. Having played Alwa’s Awakening adds some extra nuance to the adventure, but starting fresh with Alwa’s Legacy won’t leave players in a lurch, as it does plenty to solidify this as its own distinct game. Don’t sleep on this one; Elden Pixels has created a 2D platformer for the ages.
TechRaptor: 7.5 / 10 by Dylan Wilby
Alwa's Legacy is a love letter to the Metroidvania genre and 16-bit gaming in general. It's said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. In that case, Igarashi will be blushing. It doesn't always make for a good game, though. Alwa's Legacy is an enjoyable and pretty adventure that's too formulaic to be truly memorable.
The Thirsty Mage: 7 / 10 by Spencer Johnson
Alwa's Legacy may seem like more of the same, but several aspects of its design help it to stand out among its peers. Unfortunately, the manner in which it’s distinct is not always a good thing.
