story9 positive mentions
  • Smooth and responsive controls with satisfying and fluid movement.
  • Unique and extensive skill acquisition system blending enemy kills and exploration rewards.
  • Engaging exploration with diverse biomes and a large variety of enemies and upgrades.
  • Map system is restrictive and unintuitive, showing one area at a time and limited markers making navigation and backtracking cumbersome.
  • Some bosses and enemies are overly spongey requiring excessive hits, leading to repetitive and sometimes frustrating combat.
  • Hard mode spikes difficulty mainly via inflated enemy health rather than improved mechanics, negatively impacting the balance.

  • story

    37 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    24% positive mentions, 68% neutral mentions, 8% negative mentions

    The story is generally well-written, charming, and presented through comic book-style cutscenes, offering a blend of cute yet somber tones with engaging themes and character-driven narrative. While it is straightforward and somewhat predictable, it effectively drives the protagonist's journey through a richly crafted world with fun twists and side quests, appealing especially to fans of metroidvania games. Some reviewers found it touching and thought-provoking, though others considered it basic or underwhelming, but quality-of-life features like skip options and detailed lore logs enhance the experience.

    • “The art is beautiful, the gameplay is immensely satisfying, and the bosses are a spectacle, the story is really thought provoking... it's clear to me that a lot of love and passion went into making this game.”
    • “The story is straightforward but quite well-written and goes to some dark places thematically, an element that clashes quite interestingly with Roboy’s own child-like personality as he tries to process and understand complex adult themes from a perspective of innocence and naivety.”
    • “The story, told through comic book-style cutscenes, is adorable and has an interesting premise.”
    • “Add to this a very unhelpful and imprecise map, an outright misleading quest marker showing you to go to the swamps when in reality you really need to pick up a flame power-up in the scrapyard, and the annoying feature that upon death, your progress is reset to the last savepoint; I didn’t quite enjoy the game enough to plod on.”
    • “Granted, the story's not much to write home about.”
    • “Story somewhat tricks you into giving you an objective of killing a boss, but you barely do any damage against it and it can kill you with a single shot.”

  • gameplay

    37 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    54% positive mentions, 38% neutral mentions, 8% negative mentions

    The gameplay is widely praised for its engaging moment-to-moment action, smooth movement, and unique skill and leveling systems inspired by classic Metroidvania mechanics. Exploration, combat variety, and boss encounters are satisfying, with mechanics that evolve and keep encounters fresh, though some players note occasional unclear cues and a slower start. Overall, it delivers a fun, well-designed experience with solid platforming and replayability.

    • “I appreciate sticking to the Metroid ethos of having character upgrades build upon each other combined with the Zelda 2 style leveling system. The moment-to-moment gameplay was pretty fun (the target attacks build up by dealing damage are an especially nice touch).”
    • “The art is beautiful, the gameplay is immensely satisfying, and the bosses are a spectacle. The story is really thought provoking... it's clear to me that a lot of love and passion went into making this game.”
    • “This is also one of the very few metroidvanias to follow in Metroid's footsteps with its ranged combat, emphasis on movement, and interwoven mechanics for both combat and puzzles.”
    • “That combined with the simplistic graphics and gameplay and I just lost interest.”
    • “Some of this is personal preference, but the gameplay 'runs together' as well.”
    • “There's some enemies without health bars, objects with behaviors that change depending on what 'kind' of room you're in, and mechanics without clear (or any) cues.”

  • graphics

    29 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    48% positive mentions, 42% neutral mentions, 10% negative mentions

    The game's graphics are widely praised for their charming, hand-drawn, cartoonish art style that evokes influences like Cuphead and Hollow Knight, complemented by comic-style cutscenes and crisp animations. While some find the mix of styles and occasional visual clutter a bit off-putting, most agree the visuals enhance the gameplay and exploration experience, matching the game's overall tone and family-friendly approach. Although not considered groundbreaking for the genre, the artwork is seen as a strong, appealing aspect that reflects the developer's care and passion.

    • “Graphics were crisp, never any trouble seeing what you're doing save for one single optional platforming bit where foreground 'vines' get slightly (but not wholly) in the way - which I suspect was deliberate as 'the puzzle' on that one small set of jumps.”
    • “It's a fantastic metroidvania with great hand-drawn graphics and fluid control.”
    • “Graphics and animation are done in an adorable hand-drawn style accompanied by comic-style cutscenes.”
    • “That combined with the simplistic graphics and gameplay and I just lost interest.”
    • “The half-Cuphead/half-Metroid art styles clash with the bullet effects-- though it seems like there's been an effort to upgrade visuals since release.”
    • “It feels like a Metroid game with Cuphead graphics!”

  • music

    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 35% neutral mentions, 15% negative mentions

    The music receives mixed reviews, with many praising its charm, fitting melodies, and ambient tracks that enhance exploration and gameplay. However, some find the boss fight music lacking energy or "oomph," and a few consider the overall soundtrack boring or uninspired. Overall, the soundtrack is seen as competent and enjoyable, contributing positively to the game's atmosphere.

    • “This is a charming little metroidvania filled with challenging bosses, fun platforming, cute characters, nice art, fun quests, awesome music, etc.”
    • “The reward is fun biomes, rewarding challenges and story, and a beautiful art and musical experience.”
    • “Excellent music, with Super Roboy featuring some of the most amazing tunes that I’ve heard in a while, each melody fitting to its intended environment like a glove.”
    • “It did not help that the boss music in all cases was so aggravating I wanted to scream.”
    • “Its definitely not breaking any new ground at all and the soundtrack was a dud.”
    • “The only real issue for me personally would be the music.”

  • emotional

    The game delivers a charming and heartfelt emotional experience, with a touching backstory and engaging presentation that resonates deeply with players. It blends familiar gameplay elements with emotional depth, creating a memorable and inspiring adventure.

    • “It's told and presented in such an interesting and heartfelt way that I don't even consider it a negative.”
    • “The story behind the inspiration for the game is extremely touching and made me want to buy it even more.”
    • “Super Roboy is charming, heartfelt, and great.”

    The game offers solid replayability through multiple difficulty levels and specialized challenges such as speedrun, no-save, and pacifist runs, each with unique unlocks and achievements that cater to different playstyles. This variety encourages players to revisit the game beyond the initial 8-10 hour completion time.

    • “I finished my first playthrough at 100% after ~8 hours on normal; however, the game does have replay value with multiple difficulties, plus additional challenges for speedrun, no-save, and pacifist runs which have their own unlocks behind them.”
    • “A first run through of the game took me around 10 hours to 100% the map, but there are achievements (and possibly in-game perks) for people trying speed runs, specific routes, and even pacifist gameplay styles which will add to the replayability for people that really dig that kind of play style.”
