Minishoot’ Adventures Review
Minishoot' Adventures is a standout that combines the best elements of two beloved genres into a cohesive and engaging experience.
100%Minishoot’ Adventures
Quite the double-edged sword I’d say. The lack of a striking theme or more imaginative toolset hurt the longevity of the title but their simpleness and familiarity help this new, or at least untapped, concept to be immediately accessible and a cinch to just sink into like a warm bath. The classic Zelda-like map to unfurl (and cracked walls to blow open) juxtaposed with the Metroid-esque expansion via usable improvements you get as part of your arsenal instead of just keys to open plain old doors are welcoming mechanics used together in a twist format. Though I suppose that makes it more of a ‘Metr-elda’ or ‘Zel-troid’ over a Metroidvania, since there’s no claustrophobic set of dainty rooms to enclose you, instead remaining a breath of fresh air with big open spaces that beg to be skated around. I’m going to be recommending Minishoot’ Adventures for some time and to pretty much anybody who will listen because it’s a game everybody can enjoy and honestly I may get another playthrough out of it myself in the near future; I’m already feeling the cravings. But I’m also positive that when the inevitable inspirations begin to follow, it will be one of those that end up taking on the mantle for the genre. Whether the two-man studio SoulGame will continue in this space is a whole other question. Though I’d love to see those that opened the doors get their dues, it would be a shame to lock down such creativity to a single niche. Either way I’ll be following them closely in the future to see what they come up with next.

Taking inspiration from a little green elf, Minishoot' Adventures combines bullet hells and exploration to create something truly unique. This title might not be the toughest or most compex title on the market, but the feedback loop between combat and exploration kept us captivated.
