Blade Chimera or: I'll be damned if I don't highlight the newest Team Ladybug project

You know them from Shin Megami Tensei: Synchronicity Prologue, Touhou Luna Nights, Record of Lodoss War: Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth and Drainus, and hopefully love them for the same, and here they are yet again. Like their previous work, this is an original license, so perhaps that'll be the future of the studio after making their name on some of the best licensed adaptations around. At a glance, this game doesn't appear immediately exciting for aesthetic reasons and veering a little too close to Deedlit in particular... but who knows. After several slam dunks, I'm willing to try something by Ladybug that appears merely alright at first blush.

Honestly, it's cool to see a Metroidvania with something other than a dark, gothic setting. Rideable subways and a sword that turns into an escalator are just icing on the cake for me.

I mean, I’m certainly not saying it’s the only one. Heck, look at the Metroid games themselves as prime examples. It’s just that it seems like upwards of 75 percent of the ones I see seem to want to evoke Lordran.

Ladybug have never chased From in their aesthetics and influences, so I don't expect that from them. It's just that the general presentation of really everything here feels like it's drawing from their entire past catalogue and remixing it, to an extent that there's very little in the trailer that could be isolated as a meaningful fresh hook if you're familiar with what they've done previously. I hope it's just an unflattering preview, and again, I would be fine with it if they end up making something I can't get fully invested in. Expectations otherwise, while ideal, are also unrealistic in the long run, and this streak of theirs has been a significant one.

I guess he wanted to namedrop another metroidvania without a dark, gothic setting.
