This is supposed to be a digital space, but each area has a sort of industrial look to it like it was actually built from computer parts. Put simply, controlling the Program is far too slippery to navigate the game’s “naturally” designed environments. Over the course of the tutorial level, you’ll gain a jump as well as a gun to defeat enemies. Starting off the game, you only have the ability to move, not even jump which is an interesting idea for a metroidvania. Due to poor controls and haphazard level design, however, the game ends up just as tedious as real world hacking. On the surface, this is what makes Recompile exciting - an exploration based platformer where you play as a program trying to access hidden information in a mainframe.

For them, this is an action game that might have its flaws but is audiovisually mesmerizing. This one excels mostly through its well developed game world and thematic approach, which we’re sure will find its audience. Obviously a hacking mechanic also comes into play during Recompile’s interesting story, and it’s a great natural fit for the game’s premise and possibly its strongest element as you can find better metroidvania games elsewhere. Gunplay and combat are generally “okay”, but none of the boss enemies felt especially memorable and some of the regular enemies can behave in frustrating ways when approached from certain angles. Very often your combination of a double jump and subsequent dash will then lead you to tougher (boss) fights as well. This is where the game’s metroidvania elements come into play, as combining these abilities is often the key to reaching areas you previously couldn’t get to. Over the course of the game you’ll gradually unlock additional abilities, and many of these relate to traversal – double-jumping, dashing in mid-air, etc. That’s both a good and bad thing in making sure that Recompile is its own game, while at the same giving players a darker world that can become a tad difficult to navigate visually. Sure, there’s a Tron vibe in there somewhere, but it never resorts to bright neon-colored edges. The game looks beautiful, as it embraces a ‘digitized’ look for all of its environments while remaining unique. In the game, you’re a virus looking to infiltrate “the Mainframe”, which is a computer system that acts as your antagonist in this 3D action romp.

It’s a good albeit somewhat nerdy premise, but you can see where that Tron reference comes from and it’s something that should appeal to many gamers on a surface level and manages to intrigue by invoking themes like (artificial) intelligence, the notion of life and the meaning of survival. Somewhat reminiscent of Tron, Recompile is a “hacking adventure” with metroidvania mechanics that encourages exploration and provides you with a non-linear gameplay narrative – one that transpires within a single second of real-world time.
