About Gestalt: Steam & Cinder

About this game

Inspired by 16 and 32-bit classics, Gestalt: Steam & Cinder fuses tight 2D platforming and exhilarating combat with an engrossing, twist-laden narrative in a stunningly handcrafted steampunk world.

Join Aletheia and a vibrant cast of characters as they find themselves embroiled in a race to discover the secrets of the massive, steam-powered city of Canaan, the last bastion of mankind. Unravel centuries-old conspiracies, battle hosts of monstrous automata and thwart the twisted schemes of the city’s corrupt overseers, the Comitium, as you fight for mankind’s survival and discover the dark truth of the Steam City’s origin.

Key Features:

Mesmerizing Art – Traverse a vast and stunningly handcrafted steampunk world, from the thriving city streets of Irkalla to the sprawling Scrap Sea, all embellished with spectacular animations and gorgeous backdrops.

Nuanced Combat System – Unleash Aletheia’s inner power, grow stronger, and engage in deep and varied combat, mastering a range of melee combos and ranged revolver attacks in uncompromising action.

Riveting Narrative – Encounter a vibrant cast of characters and explore Canaan’s districts in an intertwining narrative filled with conspiracy-laden intrigue, NPCs, optional side quests, and choice-driven dialogue.

Grow Your Skills – Gain experience and craft new abilities to tap into the mysterious power dwelling within Aletheia as you discover new areas, smash through secret paths and take on the Steam City’s toughest enemies.

Shape Your Fate – Make decisions that will shape the fates of Aletheia and other characters you’ll meet along your journey.

Fun steam punk metroidvania that gets a lot right, but will not stop interrupting with diatribes

Extremely talky metroidvania
Verified purchase
First and foremost, the combat, exploration, are top notch. It would be one hell of a contender for upper tier pixel metroidvanias…. If it would just shut up and stop interrupting constantly. So much dialogue that just goes on and on. You’ll really be immersed and in the flow of the game loop, and it just suddenly grinds to a halt with soap opera exposition that goes on for what feels endlessly. Don’t get me wrong,I LOVE story. I’m an avid reader that reads constantly, but this? That’s too much Bob. Seriously, it’s pages and pages of dialogue that could’ve easily been boiled down to a few lines. The upgrade and skill point system is really cool. The abilities are really fun. It’s a stellar game, if you can get past the soap opera dialogue and ending.
