Aggelos: Nintendo Switch Game Review

[@randalfox7773]

I played and finished this game... It surprised me and I thought it was GREAT!

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

Yeah! A fellow fan of Aggelos! Glad you liked it. :)

[@peachflavored]

This game is excellent! Played it some time ago and had a blast with it. It's a real homage to the Wonder Boy series and fans won't be disappointed.

[@Cyclingismywholelife]

Oh man, when I hear this kind of enthusiasm from you when you talk about a game, I know I have to buy it. I purchased it while listening to your review. Thanks again for doing all the hard work and letting me know about the deal. Got to love saving some Pesos! Thank you sir for all you do.

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

You are so totally welcome, my dude. I hope you enjoy it. 😁

[@SonataFanatica]

Whoa, those room designs at 4:00, 4:25, 4:35 and 6:25 REALLY remind me of "Wizards & Warriors III: Kuros... Visions of Power" on the NES. One of my favorites from back in the day. Had to buy this one. Thanks for the great in-depth review, as always!

[@saul2571]

This game is awesome. I picked it up on Steam a while ago. Worth every penny on sale.

[@Ashe_Forester]

Man I just got this game but I’m glad you reviewed it anyway

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

Haha! I know I came in toward the end of the sale, but hopefully it helps someone discover it. :D

[@7211mason]

Just brought it for around $2.18 over here in the UK 🇬🇧 great Great review

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

Woo! Great deal! I really hope you enjoy it. :D

Thanks for the review. Spending my Gold Points on this one.

Got the physical pal version a few months ago and i love it!

[@phelpsboltusa87]

Thank you for helping sway me on this game.... Love the way you review. Subbed

[@crackadon86]

Thanks for the review, BG! Had it on my wishlist for a while and almost missed the sale. Visually/presentation wise, it reminds me of Sydney Hunter and the Curse of the Mayan. I totally recommend you play/review that one. Take care and keep up the excellent work, brotha.

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

Funny enough, I have a copy of Sidney Hunter in my Review Cue. 😆 Happy gaming my friend. 👊😎

Welcome to blow your budget gamer. I blow my budget by buying every game you've done a awesome review on.

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

Trollolololol! I know, i know.. The end of the day, you will be spending the same $60 for a triple-A game, but on like 35 indie titles. Haha!

@@BudgetGamerChannel I have a huge video game library that I would like to take a trip down memory lane with on my bucket list.

[@Belthazar1990]

That's a great review for a great game, definitely deserving of the spotlight as it's a highlight of the Switch library. Definitely worth it even at full price. Please review Baldo when it comes out, it definitely fits the budget gamer theme as it will cost $24,99 for a game that's around 50 hours and very high quality. It needs all the exposition it can get, as it's a pretty small studio (just 2 guys + composer)

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

I would love to, but "Budget" is more like $5. Haha! That is a lot of content for the price though.

[@Belthazar1990]

@@BudgetGamerChannel It'll probably reach that at some point, as the initial price is already kinda low for what it is.

[@n1nj4l1nk]

Hahaha, I searched for a review of this about 2 hours ago but you didn't have one up. I bought it earlier and so far I'm pretty happy with it.

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

I almost nailed the timing for the release. Lol! I hope you enjoy it. :D

[@cory7328]

I have been looking at this one on and off for a long time. Great review.

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

Why thank you, sir! Appreciate the positive feedback. :D

[@BB-te8tc]

Very well said! I played Aggelos last year and there was something about the design I couldn't quite put my finger on, but it kept me hooked and constantly playing. And I played on Hard my first time! Nearly none of the frustration I have with most Metroidvanias/platventures was present here.

[@ottodob]

Cool review. Happened to find a physical copy locally and fell in love with the game. Not a lot of talk around this one but its damn good.

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

Nice!!! I ordered my physical copy a long time ago, but I just got a chance to play the game. Congrats on gettin one for yourself. 😎👍

[@ottodob]

@@BudgetGamerChannel Happened by chance at a pawn shop. Thought it was some knock off game because they actually had several copies and I thought the euro rating was kinda weird. Happy surprise indeed when I found out what it was! Totally worth a full NA retail release imo

[@trazzath78]

Excellent review...I snagged this one...boom.

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

Woo! Happy Gaming! :3

[@trazzath78]

I have also been eyeing this one. Thanks for the review. 👈👈😉

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

No problem 👍 Happy to do it. I love when I get a chance to play a game like this.

[@duhmez]

The bosses in this game are also AWESOME. They are HUGE , and HARD. But not to hard!

[@cathode6252]

I still love this game.

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

I do too~ ♡

[@josephpiedmonte]

Recently started this as well, with some gold coins I had it was less than $3.. so far so good!

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

Nice. I hope you enjoy it. Let me know if you beat it. (So tough!)

[@knightdriver3592]

I’ve had this one sitting in my backlog for awhile now. I might need to bump it up a little.

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

Might be a good choice. It is rare that I run into indies that are this solid.

[@duhmez]

The lack of a map, makes you learn the world and really feel ike you are moving thorugh a real w world.

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

It's true. Normally I rely on the map a lot, but in this game, I had to rely on myself. It was a great experience.

[@sarin3]

loved the game. good review also. subscribed

[@LoneAries77]

Id recommend wonder boy/monster boy remakes over this.

[@duhmez]

This game is SO GOOD. My favorite indie game in a LONG TIME. I beat it, lve it, and evberybnight back home from work i was excited to jump right back into it. You should not have said hwat aggelos means, that isa story spoiler! The upgrades are so amazing, and the controls SO GOOD, I have been yelling all over the place to anyone that weill listen to play it. I explored it a ton and it took me I think 12 hours, and I only missed 1 final heart upgrade and one other magicv upgrade.

[@casper3237]

Nice metaphors👍

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

Why thank you~

[@elliotburing87]

Oh no! I should have watched the entire video before buying the game! JUST KIDDING, this is gonna be great 😊

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

Well, that final boss is pretty killer. 🤣

[@ParmMannREBORN]

Oh damn, I was just considering this game yesterday. The cheap sale price made me worried it might be shovelware, guess that's on me for judging a book by its cover

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

Well, it's still on sale! :D

[@trazzath78]

😎👍

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

[@duhmez]

It's not really a map. it is more of a, "What is the title of the area I am in" notification.

[@SevenRedSunsOfficial]

Im going to stick with tanuki justice

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

Great choice in action platformers.

[@tchernomush]

Same devs !

[@JeffPenaify]

I just bought this randomly for 3 bucks on PSN played it for hours straight. It’s awesome

[@elliotburing87]

$3 on the eshop? Let me pause the video at the 2 minute mark and buy it…. Take my money PLEASE Ok now for the rest of the review………….. 👍👍

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

🤣🤣🤣 Happy gaming Elliot! 😁

[@RiggsHB]

Those goddamn Woodpecker Trials. I played this game a few years back and I hate it with every fiber of my being. I 100%'d it but holy hell does it suck.

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

Oh my god? Really? I think we've found the 1st game we've disagreed on. 🤣🤣🤣

[@RiggsHB]

@@BudgetGamerChannel I was hyped for it for awhile and I do agree that the visuals are nice, but this entire game felt like a chore to me. The last boss being an exception because I did genuinely enjoy that fight. Otherwise yeah, I loathed this game and promptly deleted it upon completion.

[@casper3237]

@@RiggsHB Thank you for your counter points, definitely something to consider before purchase. 👍

[@RiggsHB]

@@casper3237 I have no intention of deterring anyone else from trying out a game. I'm only saying that I myself didn't enjoy it. I live for challenging games but this one borders on unfair at certain points and brings the adventure to a screeching halt. As far as counterpoints I'm not sure I provided any. BGC is the go to guy for that kind of thoughtful review. I'm just some scrub that likes to bitch. 😆 Happy gaming!

[@casper3237]

@@RiggsHB Don't sell yourself short. I appreciate other points of view to make a more informed decision. It's always good to hear other peoples' take on it.

[@LoneAries77]

I tried to like it but the backtracking is HORRENDOUS. If you die on a boss and need a herb, You have to backtrack all the way back to get one and then go back to the boss. Great review. But i don’t recommend it as the game doesn’t respect your time and has the worst and most useless map I’ve seen in awhile. I wanted to love it but couldn’t.

[@ikagura]

Backtracking is part of the experience since you should train to get hit less. "as the game doesn’t respect your time" what does that mean? Because it's old school?

[@CalibanTaylor]

So many coins just abandoned 🥺😩😖😭

[@kenlen8029]

Under 2 bucks right now. Would be silly not to buy it.

[@justinfuriated]

i loved this game til it all of a sudden get's ridiculously hard. i went from playing for 5 hours to dying dying dying.

[@tymothyl]

This game categories as Action RPG and inspire by Wonder boy. Not Metroidvania

[@BudgetGamerChannel]

Thanks for that, A Spirit. 👊😎
