Softonic review

A Metroidvania-style action video game

Insignia is an adventure video game created by Adam C. Younis, aka Uppon Hill. The game tells the story of Armin, the son of a blacksmith in his hometown of Ohrenstead. Follow his journey as he takes his rightful place as his father's successor, who mysteriously disappeared during an expedition.

Insignia takes inspiration from Metroidvania games like Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night in providing fun and challenging gameplay, paired with solid platforming mechanics. While this is a demo version, it already gives us a nice glimpse of what this action game will become once it transitions into its next development stage.

What is Insignia about?

Insignia's coming-of-age story will have you take control of Armin, a blacksmith's son whose father mysteriously disappeared during an expedition years ago. He must take over his father's craft in his hometown of Ohrenstead. Learn the craft as you discover what happened to Armin's father and the dark and mysterious plot that threatens the safety of the land.

This 2D action game has a beautiful and vibrant pixel art style that was all hand-drawn using frame-by-frame sprites and expansive tile sets. Its Metroidvania-style gameplay provides a fun and challenging experience as you explore its vast world. Collect coins to buy better gear or forge your own to help you fight enemies and tough boss battles.

As mention earlier, this is a demo version and the game is still being actively developed. As such, expect more fixes and improvements to come in future updates. One issue that can be addressed is the lack of a proper tutorial for newcomers. The game's content could also use some more attention as it is still rather thin.

A promising game to look out for

If you're a fan of Metroidvania-style games, then Insignia is a game that you should keep tabs on. It features great pixel art, an intriguing story, and fun and challenging gameplay. It has the potential to become a great game and is worth waiting to see how future updates will build upon its solid foundation.
