VGChartz’s Evan Norris: “Unlike a lot of games that pull together pieces from the Souls-like formula and the Metroidvania template, Afterimage manages to give equal weight to each half. Better yet, it mostly delivers on the best parts of both sub-genres, thanks to deep RPG customization options, exciting boss battles, and a huge interconnected world waiting to be explored. The game represents a big win for Aurogon Shanghai, even if its confusing narrative and limited defensive options in combat ultimately keep it just shy of greatness.”
