VGChartz’s Evan Norris: “After spending only a little time with Resolutiion, a 2D top-down action-adventure game designed by Monolith of Minds, it’s easy to see why publisher Deck13 decided to shine a spotlight on it. There are significant similarities between Resolutiion and Deck13’s own experiments with the souls-like genre, Lords of the Fallen and The Surge, including deadly combat, exhausting boss battles, stamina management, shortcuts, and non-linear gameplay. At the same time, Resolutiion borrows ideas from Hyper Light Drifter, the original The Legend of Zelda, and a bunch of Metroidvania titles. The end result is a double-edged sword: a game that both benefits and suffers from its steep difficulty and cryptic nature.”
