Redder is essentially what Metroid would have been if it had been created by Stanley Kubrick

When I'm not writing reviews for JayIsGames, I work full-time as a wizard. It's not easy work, believe me, nor is it nearly as glamorous as the movies make it out to be. One wrong incantation and you've blown yourself up or summoned an uncontrollable horde of demons. Arzea, a Metroidvania-style adventure game created by Arkeus originally for a Ludum Dare 24-hour game development competition and then expanded upon, demonstrates the kind of danger that magic can lead to. You're a wizard stranded in a strange world with only your wits and a variety of spells and upgrades to help you get home.

"You're a broken robot. Fix yourself up to please Mother. Do as you're told. You don't want to let her down, and you can't even jump yet. Let's do something about that."

"I think with Metroid the new direction it has taken is great. I think it’s fabulous. With Castlevania, I want to do something like that."

"Eternal Daughter is the game I would have made when I was 18 if I were Derek Yu. It's Metroidvania with poetry"
