About

Metaloid Origin is a 2D platformer where you play as one of three android fighters battling a corporate robot army. Each character has distinct abilities like rapid-fire bullets, atomic attacks, or jetpack mobility to navigate nine varied levels. You’ll jump, shoot, and dash through environments ranging from desert chases to snowy battlegrounds while collecting Soulrium to upgrade weapons and powers mid-game. The pause menu lets you spend resources on new gear, with some upgrades requiring more than just currency. The game stands out for its tight controls and replayability. Three playstyles and two difficulty modes change enemy behavior and challenge. Levels mix creative mechanics like mine carts and waterfalls to keep the action fresh. While not graphically flashy, the fast pace and responsive combat keep it engaging. With 9 levels and branching upgrades, it offers solid value for platformer fans. Released in 2019, it remains a niche pick with a dedicated following.
