    Very solid metroidvania. enemies are distinctive and the game is very challenging up to the end with a few exceptions. I really like the RPG style progression system even if a few stats were hard to understand.

    Only issues imo: - bosses are insanely easy. I don't think I died a single time on a boss. Even the final one. I died quite a bit navigating the levels but enjoyed that    Very solid metroidvania. enemies are distinctive and the game is very challenging up to the end with a few exceptions.

    Only issues imo:
    - bosses are insanely easy. I don't think I died a single time on a boss. Even the final one. I died quite a bit navigating the levels but enjoyed that challenge but the bosses are a cakewalk. Mostly the issue is the plethora of single use healing items so I guess you can self handicap if you want.

    - i don't see the point of the procedural dungeons. A game like this is long enough and you need the items in a somewhat linear order to proceed so can't see why i would want to replay it a lot. It does a good job of creating interesting levels but I think it would be a better game if things were a little more handcrafted.

    - Items don't differentiate enough to be clear when one is better or worse. It's nice that you can customize to a play style but none of the bosses are hard enough to want to made minor adjustments when you play them.    … Expand

    Jogo lembra muito sotn, muito bom mesmo. Muitas armas, magias, mapa grande, criação de equipamentos e poções, tudo que um metroidvania precisa ter.

    Very Nice Metroidvania game. Really enjoyed it. interesting background story, solid character evolution.
    Perhaps then only point that could be better are the boss fights. They are easy fights in comparison with other metroidvanias.

    9/10

    The latest in an ever-burgeoning line of Metroidvania games being released on the Switch, and a rather good one at that! [Issue #37 – January/February 2019, p. 20]

    Chasm doesn’t quite have its own identity, as it borrows so much from other games and while it does them decently, it’s not best in class. The randomly generated level layout, which is the games one unique feature, actually ends up being its biggest weakness. Maybe I am being a little too unkind, as I did have fun playing, but I just feel like it could have been so much more and that’s what bothers me the most. It’s a decent enough tribute to those games of yesteryear, but that’s its problem, as it ends up being yet another Metroidvania title.

    Bit Kid has made the game stand out in a world full of titles of the same genre. Chasm arrives on Switch in an elegant, beautiful and addictive way.
