I ran across a metroidvania called Feudal Alloy set in a medieval world where you and all the enemies are low-tech robots with fish bowls as heads. There’s an interesting mechanic where swinging your sword generates heat and if you’re overheated you can’t attack temporarily. You can upgrade different parts of your body to fit the situation or your play style (more armor/damage/health, slower overheat, faster cooldown, etc), and the art is nice.
Felt like a lucky find for me because I just found out about it last week from an old vid on one of the yt gaming channels I follow (Let’s Game It Out if anyone likes watching a dude try to break games by essentially QA testing the hell out of them), and when I checked the steam sale this week it came up for under 2 bucks.
Controls felt a little janky to me, but I loved the game. I would recommend it to anyone wanting a shorter Metroidvania experience, especially if the art style is appealing to you.

This is awesome. Thanks for the recommendation!
Been having a Metroidvania itch and currently playing Afterimage.
The new Prince of Persia is amazing
Warning. The game only has like 2 bosses. It uses rooms that keep spawning mobs as replacements for normal bosses.
Spoilers haha. But yeah, seems like a bit more of a casual experience from the couple hours I’ve put in so far. Glad it was like a buck fifty
