The list of new and upcoming Metroidvania games grows once more, as Aeterna Noctis becomes the latest game of the genre to fight for your attention on Kickstarter.
Planned to launch on Switch in 2021 if successful, Aeterna: Noctis is a 2D non-linear platformer that promises an "affordable but challenging difficulty" and "clean and fluid gameplay". Indeed, the Kickstarter page notes that these two ideas form the basis of the entire project, with tight platforming and a system that perfectly responds to the player's actions being a main focus in development.
As with most Metroidvanias, you'll find plenty of areas to explore, player progression, different skills to unlock, and more. If you're interested in checking it out, you can read up on the game's story and mechanics on Kickstarter and pledge your support if you wish. It has 28 days to earn around 60,000€ to be successful.
If you're looking for other, similar projects to consider, we actually reported on another promising looking title called 9 Years Of Shadows just last week.
What do you think? Do you think you might back the project? Tell us below.

Looks cool. Will no doubt be criticised for the obvious Hollow Knight influences but I don't have a problem with that. More Hollow Knight can only be a good thing.
I will NOT make a Metroidvania game for 30k.
@Ooccoo_Jr hollow knight isn't the most original game itself.
@jobvd It's unlike anything else I've ever played (although it's not the first Metroidvania obviously).
@jobvd It might not be original (although I think it is, for that weird atmosphere), but it's become the best metroidvania I've ever played. That's quite a thing.

No, but the art styles and use of lighting/foreground/background are reminiscent of HK. I haven’t played another game with its visual style.
If this becomes real, I feel obligated to play it.
I can never get enough MetroidVanias.
This looks great!!
Distinctive art style. With aging eyes, I struggle with games that use so much darkness. Hope there’s a bit more light in the final game.
Looks really good! Like a cross between Hollow Knight and Gris.
I'm always interested in a good metroidvania... Unless Kickstarter is involved.
This must be the era of Metroidvania style games, seems like there isn't a year where a new Metroidvania style game isn't announced not that it's a bad thing just that there's just too much of them. For every one Metroidvania style game I just completed, five of them just got announced it's madness. I feel like I'm going to fall behind on most of them at this point.
Looks a bit like Hollow knight. Looks interesting.
So what gives??
