7. Teslagrad (Wii U)
Current Release Date: Q4 2013 or Q1 2014
Being that Nintendo hasn’t made a great Metroid game in roughly half a decade, I naturally find myself drifting towards Metroidvania styled games. So, it’s only fitting that I am overly excited to explore the stunning hand-drawn world of Rain Games’ Teslagrad. This game is a puzzle-platformer in which you explore a non-linear world, utilize electromagnetic powers, and discover new items to help you progress. While the main character doesn’t appear to have weapons of any sort, the world does contain various enemies and bosses for you to encounter, ensuring that you are on your toes at all times. The story takes place within a steampunk version of old Europe and is told purely told through its visuals, giving Teslagrad a unique personality.
Two Brothers: the way I’m seeing it, kinda carries a Nintendo Game-Boy look while adding some color, clearly taking a page out of Frank Miller’s playbook
