What players say

Players describe Alwa's Awakening as a simple, easy retro-styled platformer with a great chip-tune soundtrack. Instead of standard upgrades like a double jump, you unlock unusual spells for movement. Some find the physics clunky and the exploration slow, while others call it a well-made basic metroidvania. Many agree its sequel, Alwa's Legacy, improves on it in every way.
