Here, you play as Zoe, who’s been dropped into the pixelated world of Alwa. The mission? Save this realm from the clutches of a wicked wizard named Tzizzy (I dunno how to pronounce it either) and bring back the peace. You’re armed with a magical staff that lets you conjure platforms, bombs, and all sorts of whimsical chaos. Yes, we've got this classic “save the world” plot, but it’s layered with charming lore and a sprinkle of humor.


At its core, Alwa’s Awakening is a metroidvania platformer, and dude, does it deliver that retro vibe. Think of it as if Shantae merged with Zelda II. You’ll be hopping around, solving puzzles, and battling quirky enemies that are honestly, a mix of cute and creepy. The controls are tight, Zoe feels responsive and agile, making those platforming challenges feel like a dance rather than a clunky mess.


Now let's get into the magic system. You can summon platforms that float around; it's not just about getting from A to B but about getting creative with your surroundings. Figuring out how to use your abilities to navigate through tricky areas is half the fun. The soundtrack got that chiptune vibe that perfectly sets the tone for each area you explore.
