S.P.L.I.C.E.D.

About

S.P.L.I.C.E.D. is a 3D side-scrolling Metroidvania set in a gritty Biopunk Chinatown. You play as a determined fighter navigating a world filled with mutants, gang-controlled streets, and hidden upgrade paths. The game emphasizes fast movement and precise combat, forcing you to backtrack through vertically layered environments to unlock new areas. Each weapon and ability you find reshapes how you approach later challenges, balancing exploration with escalating difficulty. The setting stands out for its dense atmosphere, blending neon-lit alleyways with bioengineering themes. While the combat can feel punishing at times, the tight movement mechanics and environmental puzzles offer satisfying rewards. As a student project, it shows ambition in its scope and design, though some polish remains undone. Free to play and clocking in at around five hours, it’s a brisk but memorable entry in the genre.
