Is that a Pac-Man metroidvania?

Watch the Secret Level Pac-Man episode and it will all make sense.

I'll do that, thanks

Looks like the Langoliers, Pacman by Stephen King.
This is what you get when you give an IP to a bunch of hack frauds.

Ok, that was weird.

 

[Heart_Attack]

Fuck it. I'll play it. Looks like Ghost Song with some Pac Man stuff added in. $30 seems about right.

 

[KungFucius]

Holy fucking weird.

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

This doesn't make any sense.
Looks interesting, ngl.

To essentially open the show with this really fucked my head up. I was thinking about it the whole time. It's deffo on a very short list of things shown that I'm actually interested in.

I'd really love a sequel to Pac-Man 256 or something similar though.

 

[diffusionx]

Same vibes

 

[lughnasadh123]

My main "holy shit wtf" moment there beyond more Ninja Gaiden.

 

[near]

I'm interested.

 

[kevboard]

the only issue I have with this so far is that the animations look weird and cheap.

the bosses seem to use a puppet system where limbs are just rotated, which looks super cheap and I dislike this style of animation in generall in games.

I don't think the creator would like that they turned his son into an eldritch horror.

 

[FunkMiller]

This has strong 'my Batman would get raped in prison' vibes.

 

[struggler_guts]

Holy shit that's awesome, I'm interested

The Secret Level Pacman episode is one of the lamest and corniest reimaginings of Pac Man that I've ever seen, and it turns out it's based on an actual game that was in development....

I hope for their sake that the game is a 10/10, otherwise it's going into the history books as another Bomberman Act Zero.

 

[BlackTron]

We've come a long way since Miyamoto's "why aren't they cheering?" moment revealing Pac Man VS for Gamecube, haven't we?

[Mister Wolf]

Extended gameplay footage.

 

[Punished Miku]

I will get this eventually. I just have a pile of metroidvanias I already own that I haven't had time to play so this will be one I get on sale. Looks good though.

 

[touchfuzzy]

Looks cool and I've got it on my wishlist. Just comes out the day right after Donkey Kong Bananza so may have to wait a bit.

Interesting that two of gaming oldest franchises are launching reboots a day apart in 2025.

 

[Diseased Yak]

Me: Oooh, a new game coming out called SHADOW LABYRINTH, sounds creepy as hell! Is it some dungeon crawler horror game where you play a nameless wandering soul untimely ripped from his sorrowful life and forced to battle endless hordes of the damned in order to have a chance at redemption????

Devs: That's the best part, you play as PAC-MAN!

I'm currently playing Metroid Dread and loving it. This got thrown into my YT feed today and now it's on my radar for sure.

If it reviews well and I'm done with dread I may pick it up.
