Apogee Entertainment and solo developer Eric Manahan have recently announced that their upcoming Metroidvania game, LUCID, has surpassed its funding goal by a staggering 207%. The game is scheduled to be released on the Nintendo Switch in 2025, and it has already generated significant excitement among gamers.
One of the most exciting additions to LUCID is veteran composer David Wise, who has been brought on board to create the game’s score. Wise is widely recognized for his incredible work on various Nintendo published titles such as Donkey Kong Country, Super Smash Bros. Melee, and Star Fox Adventures. With his talent and experience, players can expect an immersive and captivating soundtrack that perfectly complements the gameplay.
LUCID promises to transport players to a mesmerizing world where they can enter a state of flow while embarking on a quest to find the heart of the Lucid Giant. The game features a variety of visually stunning environments, including shimmering caverns, snow-covered ridges, and barren badlands. The attention to detail and atmospheric design bring these locations to life, creating a truly immersive experience for players.
To navigate through the game’s challenging landscapes and overcome formidable enemies, players will need to master the unique Crystal Arts abilities. By stringing together Crystal Arts, players can execute double-jumps and airdash-fueled maneuvers, allowing them to reach otherwise inaccessible areas. Additionally, the ability to hot-swap different abilities on the fly adds depth to the gameplay, enabling players to unleash powerful special attacks against enemies and enormous bosses.
While LUCID’s release date is still a few years away, the information revealed so far has sparked considerable anticipation among players. With the game already surpassing its funding goal and the inclusion of accomplished composer David Wise, it is clear that LUCID is poised to become a standout title in the Metroidvania genre.
There is still time to support the game’s Kickstarter campaign if you want to contribute and secure exclusive rewards. As development progresses, we can expect more updates on the game’s features, gameplay mechanics, and a more precise release date. For now, keep an eye out for LUCID and prepare to embark on a remarkable adventure unlike any other.
