MindSeize is a 2D Action Adventure game set in a futuristic universe. You must explore untamed planets, fight powerful enemies and defeat a mysterious organization that stole the mind of your daughter.
A pacey, exciting game, MindSeize excels when it pits you one-on-one against one of its varied, aggressive bosses, but there are no elements of this little gem that aren't up to scratch. You're constantly moving forward and getting better at it, and the level design is good stuff. We don't feel like the Metroidvania backtracking really adds much to the experience, but it didn't spoil our fun. What we have here, ultimately, is a fantastic action game that's been forced into the shape of a markedly less brilliant Metroidvania, a format that doesn't play to the game's strengths. So, very good indeed, but could definitely have been a classic with a little more structure.
Mindseize is a solid metroidvania that lacks spark and memorable characters.
