Iconoclasts. (PS4, Vita, PC, Mac)

[Colin]

Hopefully there's someone else playing this as I'm having an absolute blast with it. (Vita version, though cross buy with PS4)

I suppose if you're going to categorise it then it's Metroidvania, here's a little video -



I've put around 5-6 hours in to it since buying it yesterday and I'm absolutely loving it. To be fair 25% of that time was probably running around trying to figure out things I'd missed or repeatedly trying to figure a puzzle out, but that'll be due heavily to me not noticing the obvious. The story so far is absolutely awful, but the game itself plays like an absolute treat. At £15.99 I did skim read a review to see if it was positive as I hate wasting money on digital stuff I can't move on, it seemed very positive but did mention the story was only around 12 hours. (I'd imagine it'll take me 20! )

It looks amazing on the Vita, retro styling really done well, really looking forward to seeing how it also looks on the PS4 when I finally get back to Scotland.

That looks the absolute tits!

I've got some PSN credit sitting there - I think this is what I'll be spending it on.

I'd pounce on this if I had a PS4! I only ever played one thing by Konjak, Legend of the Princess, and damn, was it good!

I think you should definitely give it a bash mate. It’s frustrated me a couple of times trying to figure things out, but those frustrations have far been outweighed by the good, I can’t remember the last time I got so hooked on a game. It really is like a classic retro title.

I’ve played six hours and only at 21% completion.

Totally up for it if they do a Switch version.

May as well plop it in here but it has now been confirmed a switch port is in development, with a release date to be announced.
Developers are aiming for summer. Title will be on show at EGX this September.

Dev tweeted.

Gasp, #Iconoclasts is coming to #Switch! I look forward to new people experiencing my game and thanks for support if you did already ��

I'll be adding to all changing difficulty as you load game, a difficulty that lets you get past harder challenges without dying and Boss Rush!

Currently £11.49 on PS4.

I didn't get round to buying it but will definitely do so on Switch provided the Nintendo tax isn't applied too liberally.

Thanks. Just bought this on Vita.

Is there definitely going to be a switch. Version?

Is there definitely going to be a switch. Version?

Yeah just gonna be later in the year.

IT'S OFFICIAL!!!
MP2 Games is porting Iconoclasts to Nintendo Switch! The game is releasing later this year with a new Boss Rush mode, and will be playable at EGX. Congratulations to @konjak, and hope all of you will be able to play it soon!!

(sorry for all the teasing)

Worth every penny even at full price this one, I absolutely loved it. It came cross buy on PS4, but was just much, much better on the Vita for me. Should be the same for Switch I'd imagine, the smaller screen just suits it well.

Currently £7.99 on PS4 / Vita crossbuy.

I had almost finished it on the Vita before I decided to sell the system, but yeah, it’s amazing on the Vita, with one of the best d-pads of all time

Just a heads up that this is due for physical release through Limited Run. I’m holding off for that myself!

[teddymeow]

This is just a super charming game. Bright, colourful graphics, jaunty music and right controls.

Loving it.
