This title feels very much like Castlevania in its essence but unlike that game which has an ever-expanding map with lots of sub-areas, this one still has defined levels. It’s not like other genres where it just comes down to subject matter and mechanics. Metroidvania is partly a genre but also a set of rules and tropes that a game has to follow to be classed as part of it. It isn’t in the truest sense and I don’t just want to throw this game in the Metroidvania category because I feel like it’s a love letter to a lot of the things that made Castlevania truly magnificent and it feels more like an arcade action romp with a Metroidvania feel. I think I was a little cruel when I said that Grim Guardians: Demon Purge was a Castlevania clone. So cute! Look at all those eyes, and teeth, and … yeah, you get the picture. Also, if you happen to be a kid in Japan in virtually any video game DO NOT go to school! Really bad things always happen in those places, the truancy rates must be massive. When you think about the end result, “upset” for a demon is kind of similar results-wise to “upset” for a lot of teenagers so you can probably catch my drift. She’s upset with you and she’s not entirely human, to begin with. There’s also one particular student who might cause you somewhat of a problem. You’ll have to work your way around the enemy-filled maze that’s been left while battling your way through all manner of infernal minions if you’re going to bring peace and order back to this place of learning. This is especially the case when the school in question has been merged with a hell dimension. Let’s just say that going to school is killer. The first of these is that I never do because I don’t like spoiling things for those of you that want to play and the second, a slightly more important reason is that the story is completely nuts. I’m not going into too much detail about the plot in this review for two reasons. Grim Guardians: Demon Purge follows the story of a pair of demon-fighting sisters. Today’s title is Grim Guardians: Demon Purge and this new addition to the Switch library, (PC and a bunch of other consoles,) is in my book at least, a very welcome one. I’m saying this because I’m playing a game at the moment that I can’t help but compare to this storied franchise and amazingly it appears to be holding its own. Saying this, this is going to be a really hard title to emulate without coming over as a bit of a poor rip-off. There’s something so awesome about the gothic offering from all those years ago, that every generation seems to crave a revisit to this particular masterpiece.
