4 new indie Metroidvania titles are coming next month: which one will you get?

All of them.

Dead Cells baby

I have Dead Cells on PC and it's great but I am all over Guacamelee 2. I adore the first game and it looks fantastic. I may pick up Dead Cells physical copy on Switch too if I'm feeling spendy.

ALL OF THEM. Death's Gambit is the one I'm least enthused about, but I'm copping that too.

HYPE RANKINGS:
1. Chasm (backed the Kickstarter in 2013)
2. Dead Cells (concerned about the rogue elements)
3. Guacamelee 2 (loved the first game, but the combat arenas killed the pacing)
4. Death's Gambit (looks solid, but aesthetically is not my jam)

Nothing but guac for me

The one that's available on Xbox.

All of them. Don't ask me to rank my babies by how much I love them though.

Considering Dead Cells is the only one coming to the Switch/Xbox I can see the poll running heavily in that games favour.

Will get all of them for my PS4. Great little games to play before Spider-Man. Can't wait.

All of them in a humble bundle down the road

Guacamelee! 2 has coop which makes it a lot more enticing to me. I already wishlisted it on Steam.

I already have Dead Cells on PC. Guacamelee 2 is also getting a buy from me.

Dead Cells already pre loaded on Switch. Might not get Guac 2 day one but will 100% get it at some point. First one sooooooooo damn good

All of them except Chasm. I watched some gameplay and it just didn't seem to draw me in. Can definitely re-evaluate if the reviews are excellent.

Dead Cells looks perfect for Switch. I'm in for a Day One purchase there.

I would prefer to play Death's Gambit and Gucamelee 2 for the Xbox, but it seems Death's Gambit probably won't be ported over anytime soon so I'll nab that for PS4. They're being more cagey with Gucamelee 2 ever getting ported over, but I suspect it will so I'll wait on that one.

Probably Death's Gambit, Dead Cells looks good but roguelikes are not my thing so it's a no. Guacamelee... I tried to like the first one but honestly couldn't get into it, it was good but didn't grab me.

Know little about Chasm and I'm short on money so if I buy something it's gotta be Death's Gambit that looks cool (although my hype dried a little).

only Guacamelee 2.

Dead Cells has peaked my interest. Will probably buy it on Switch.

Definitely Chasm for the Vita, I have been waiting for this game for years since they had their playable demo. I'll be buying Dead Cells on the Switch as I need more games on the device. The other 2 are maybes, I'll need to read more about them.

They all look good. Will grab Dead Cells and wait for rest to come to Switch.

I don't buy new games, but Guacamelee is the only one of the four that doesn't have any procgen, roguelike, or Soulslike elements, so that one.

Dead Cell because it's looks interesting and is coming to Switch.

GCM 2 at some point down the line on a sale.

I sucked at Guacamelee!'s combat and never actually finished the first one. I did love the artstyle though and I'm sure I'll return to it someday, and assuredly the sequel someday too.

Dead Cells looks and sounds pretty fantastic, and with the discount on the Switch eShop for pre-ordering it I'll probably jump on that before it comes out.

pre-ordered dead cells hard copy for the switch, already bought it on PC but the developer deserves the double dip, an exceptional game.

I don't know if i would call it a metroidvania tho, more Rougelike game.

They all look so good. But probably none. I still have other games to play, like Tokyo Mirage Sessions, Twilight Princess, Celeste, and some others.

They all look fucking dope.

Definitely Death's Gambit

Already have Dead Cells on PC. Will grab Guacameele 2 on PS4.

Guacamelee 2 probably based on how much I liked the first game. Dunno about the others.

Dead Cells on Switch is it for me.

The one that's on the Vita.

guacamelee come to papa

Am I weird for hoping that Guacamelee 2 is...less of a Metroidvania? That game was at its best when it was just being an action-platformer, and the vania stuff always felt kinda ancillary

All of them because they all got nice discount on PSN

Chasm because I've already bought it on Kickstarter many years ago.

Guacamelee too because I liked the first one a lot.

Not sure about the others, Dead Cells is finally out of early access?

Definitely Dead Cells and Death's Gambit, the former for Switch and the latter for PS4.

Guacamelee 2 is the only one I know for sure will be quality. I have to wait for reviews on the others.

Dead Cells, most likely.

About the rest: go Switch or go home

Seriously though, Guacamelee 2 is a game that I really want to play because I love the first one but I can wait until the inevitable Switch version.
Chasm I don't know if there's going to be a Switch version, but if the game is great I'll consider playing on the PS4.

And I don't know anything about Death's Gambit, so I'll look into that.

Gotta finish Ori first. But all four look very fine indeed.

Definitely getting Chasm (not sure which platform) and Dead Cells (Switch). Have yet to play Guacamelee 1, so the sequel will have to wait until after I get through the first. Of course, I have no time to play any of these games, but I'll buy them anyway and then stare longingly at my the collection and dream of the day where I can game as much as I want (yeah right lol).

Where is the "All of them option"?
Because they look amazing

Neither. Not really a fan of metriodvania

The one releasing on Switch.

Guacamelee 2 and Dead Cells for sure. Will probably take a look at Death's Gambit as well.

Guacamelee, baby! Already own Dead Cells and haven't heard of the other two. I'll have to check them out though.

Death's Gambit for me but not right away. Gotta recover from Hollow Knight draining me of enthusiasm for the genre right now.

PS: Chasm also looks really cool but I don't know anything about it, time to look into it I guess.

DG and Guac 2

Already have Dead Cells and never heard of Chasm

None, I don't buy shovelware.

Is Dead Cells really a Metroidvania? I keep hearing that but I don't know how it works with its procedurally generated levels.

All of em.
