Cadence of Hyrule vs. Axiom Verge vs. Golf Story vs. Undertale: Which should I get?
- Thread starter ElectricBlanketFire
- Start date
I also like metroidvanias, and not really RPGs:
Cadence of Hyrule - I only played the demo, was really annoyed by it and did not enjoy it. (I'd say try the demo?)
Axiom Verge - One of my absolute favorite metroidvanias, great mechanics and level design. (Seen that many don't care for it though.)
Golf Story - Enjoyed it a lot, it has funny writing and the gameplay alright if you like golf-like challenges. A solid 3/5 where 3 means "good!"
Undertale - I've given it a chance twice. I just..... really don't care for story in my games, and I get bored and lose interest somewhere not far in. It's such a beloved game that I still think you should give it a try though.
What I'm saying is that it's subjective and you probably gotta find out for yourself.

For sure. I haven't played CoH but I have played the original Necrodancer. The concept is one that really makes it different.
That said, I'm a sucker for Metroidvanias, and I have a soft spot for Earthbound-likes. Axiom was quite a joy since it felt close to an actual Metroid game, and Undertale was just an emotional therapy session of a game, in a good way
Golf Story is a self-aware comedy golf game with fun courses and RPG elements. That is, it's the rare example of a sports game that I thoroughly adore. I give it props just for keeping me in the genre.

The reason is I hate turn-based combat.
I'm still recovering from the Xenoblade Smash direct so I needed something to cheer me up.
I'm with you on that one. Golf Story should do just that.
I haven't played Cadence, but I couldn't get into Necrodancer at all, so I wouldn't suggest it.
Axiom Verge is a really solid metroidvania, can't go wrong with that.
Undertale is an RPG, but it's fairly short, inexpensive and really really good.
Golf Story is great from what I've heard.
Really can't go wrong with any of those last three.

All great games that I have beaten. This is my ranking...
Undertale (an absolute classic) > Golf Story (secretly the best game to launch during the first year of the Switch) > Cadence of Hyrule (an expanded, and adorable, take on an already excellent game) > Axiom Verge (a solid metroidvania title)

I'm not particularly anti-undertale, but I think the game's main appeal is it's "you don't have to kill any of the monsters" gimmick and the story that goes along with it, but the majority of that story and what happens when you play it certain ways have been completely spoiled by the gaming zeitgeist.
