Gestalt: Steam & Cinder is a platform game with RPG elements, inspired by the 16-and 32-bit classics. The game was developed by an independent studio Metamorphosis Games, while its release was handled by Sold Out.

Plot

Gestalt: Steam & Cinder takes us to the steampunk universe, more precisely - to the city of Canaan, which is the last bastion of humanity. During the game, we play the role of a heroine named Aletheia. Aletheia accidentally led to the release of energy, which awakened long dormant machines threatening the entire population of the metropolis. Fortunately, this has given the girl supernatural abilities that allow her not only to face a new threat, but also to discover Canaan's dark secrets, led by the true intentions of his corrupt supervisors known as the Comitium.

Slant Magazine: 2.5 / 5 by Niv M. Sultan

Aletheia also gradually attains a suite of powers that allow you to reach previously inaccessible areas, but backtracking grows tedious due to the barebones map and the limitations of fast travel. You can only teleport to and from a handful of locations, meaning that you often need to embark on odysseys to use warp spots to get elsewhere. This tedium leads the game’s Metroidvania elements to feel shoehorned in rather than integral to its design. Though it has the bones of a winning action platformer, Gestalt: Steam & Cinder contorts them in submission to generic norms and expectations. The adventure becomes a chore, the fire stamped out.
