"and that it was inspired by Metroid Fusion"
paused
bought the game
came back to finish
I'm not even joking
How was it?
Yeah. How was it?
No, really, how was the game?
Can you tell us how was it?
A wonderful game
This channel is slowly taking me to bankrupcy.
Update: 9 months later, game is free on PSN Plus. I'm on my way to Challenge Mode and the 100% (sadly there's no platinum trophy).
@@CidGuerreiro1234 I got it for free lol I don't regret it
@@dogavolo2404 I got it for free too, it's a great game.
Made by O N E person!
A perfect example of how far technology has gone, look at the development of Super Mario Bros for comparison.
It's sad that iconoclasts isn't getting the attention it deserves.
There might be a chance if it makes it to the Switch. That console is a surprising haven for indie titles.
@@FromMyPerspectPhoto Absolutely, thanks to the Switch I recently bought the game and loved it!
Best game I ever played! 10 out of 10 have played multiple times. Will recommend to pretty much anyone who want the great story and great gameplay.
(First playthrough)

...This is not only a beautiful fun looking game, but its also so inspiring to me. The fact that a single person made this game... I;m an aspiring developer with an artistic and programming background. I been wanting to make a platformer with this kind of umf and to see a single person put so much soul in to this something like this makes me want to go all out with the games i;m trying to make. This game is beautiful and i'm extremely excited to play this.
Not only am I interested in Iconoclasts now, but I also want to try Noitu Love 2. These "You Need to Play" videos always pad up my backlog!
Sweet, I'll have to check him out! Seems like a really cool Dev.
im not much into platformers but i tried iconoclasts and decided to do a walkthrough on my own channel!
i tried noitu love 2 before and BOY OH BOY is it good! i just gotta play iconoclasts now
Have you played celeste yet?

One person did this? Wtf am I doing with my life...
For me Iconoclasts BEST Indie game of 2018
I bought it. Totally did not regret it.
ikr! at first I thought it was a little pricy but now that i've bought it I think it's totally worth it!
I bought it for free it's f2p on ps4
Me too
Is there a homebase in this game? I want a place to chill after missions lol. Also, how much platforming is there? I like making jumps!

Just few hours ago I wondered where reviews of iconoclasts from my favorite youtubers? Well, here it is.
I played it for 20-30 minutes and, boy oh boy, this thing is awesome. It's exactly what I wanted after good Metroid Fusion, perfect Zero Mission and dissapointing Samus Returns. Can't wait for my payday to buy this thing on ps4 and vita.
One guy made this game? That can't be right can it? If it is though then why the hell haven't Nintendo picked him up yet? Who cares if he's not Japanese, this guy is genuinely a genius, his 'art' is game making and Iconoclasts is as impressive a feat as most any novel, sculpture or painting being made today by anyone in the world.
I've never played a Metroid-vania style game before but I'm gonna play this, if only to admire what one person can accomplish when their extraordinary passion, skill, education and dedication is manifested into the one project.
Also Snoman your reviews are brilliant and you cover games that other's don't, one gamer channel said that CZcams is just a vast Echo-chamber where everybody reviews the same games over and over saying the same things over and over again, but you have avoided that, you go for more obscure interesting games than merely the traditional major releases. It's appreciated.
Just finished an hour ago. One of the best damn things I’ve played in months.
It's surprising and cool to hear the developer was so inspired by Metroid Fusion. Fusion's a bit of a divisive entry in the series.
THANK YOU! I've just been thinking how not enough people are talking about this game! It deserves so much more expusore than it got.
Just got Celeste for my Switch. I feel like we are going to be seeing that somehow on this channel soon :)
im buying that next lol
@Miss Meow Meow! NO
@eXistenZ yes.
Hey snowman, I want to say that your channel is a great place. It’s so positive and colorful. You inspire many people, keep it up.
I'm not interested in Iconoclasts...
I already want the sequel.
Ha Jokes is on you...I'm already playing it...
Ha jokes on you, I got it for free with PlayStation+ and 100%ed it in 14 hours.
Extremely underated game.
Makes me so damn sad, the developers put so much effort into this beautiful game
*Developer, singular.
Marathoned the game in a few days. While it won't be everyone's cup of tea, not a day has gone by where I don't think about the ending or its implications. Robin's a great silent protag, and the last couple hours of the game had me shaking, particularly THAT moment.
The moon part?
@@rishabhjain3860 yeah, that's the one
It’s been years since I played it and that damn part still has me tearing up
Just finished my first playthrough of the game. It was fan-freaking-tastic. Good story, likeable characters, mechanics simple but utilized very effectively and in some cases have you as you say "thinking outside the box" when it comes to solving some of the puzzles. Great soundtrack and boss battles are generally challenging. Definately no bosses felt cheap or just downright easy. For something that was done by 1 person this is bloody impressive.
I've loved Konjak's games since the freeware days of Chalk and Legend of Princess.
What always stood out in my mind, however, is the way he takes his design and art influences from Treasure's classics such as Gunstar Heroes and Guardian Heroes.
This sounds amazing (both, the gameplay and the plot)! I cannot believe I hadn't heard about this game yet. I'm adding it to my wishlist right now.
"it took 7 years to develop this game"
What the fuck
"By 1 person"
Ok that's actually pretty awesome
Watched an Aaron Wigwam stream of this game, where he recommended this channel. Super glad I checked you out, definitely subbed for content quality.
"I don't want to spoil it" suuurreee
For those wanting a small sample of Konjak's work, Legend of Princess is a free game which can be found on his website.
One thing I love to do is look at old WayForward games and try to guess what art Konjak (who used to be a sprite artist at WF) did. For example, I can BET any money that the first boss of Risky's Revenge (the mecha ship) was drawn by Konjak. Also if you like his games, I recommend trying Legend of Princess, it's a great Zelda fan-platformer.
It's funny cause first time I heard of Konjak was from a fairly underground Zelda fan game called Legend of Princess (I believe it was called). It has interesting mechanics and I recommend others to try it cause it's severely underrated in terms of Zelda fan games
Yeah my friend Perrydactyl did a video on it, really cool little title!
I always recommend this game first when I tell people to check out Konjak's games :)
Backtracking your catalougue right now, and I love it! It's so refreshing watching positive reviews and analyses of what makes good games. Instead of the usual deep dark youtube pit of "why this is the worst thing ever". Keep up the good work!
My first contact with Konjak's work was "Legend of Princes" - which, by the way, is an awesome (but sadly very short) Zelda 2 parody you should check out. I enjoyed his other work too including the Iconoclasts demo, that was released several years ago. I eventually forgot about it...
You can not imagine how happy I was after I got the notification about this video. Not only it meant that Iconoclasts was finished, but since I like your taste of games it also meant it is as good as I anticipated it to be!
This game is AMAZING! I got it about i week ago and i've completed about 70% of the game. The story is great, nearly every character has likeable traits, the animation is BEAUTIFUL, the weapons are all fun to use (especially the Usurper shot) and Dear God the bosses.
I'VE BEEN WAITING THIS GAME FOR YEARS
The way this guy breaks down and analyzes good games and bad games, i don't even question him if he says I need to play something im for sure going to play it.
You sir made me discover some amazing games that I "need" to play and I did.
Thanks a lot
Thanks for this video! Just finished Iconoclast and I might put it in my top 10 favourite games of all time. The battle with Ash was actually my least favourite part of the game after the tower escape. The tower part, the fact that the objects to collect are not really important for the game (the tweaks are not that powerful) and some details at the end of the story are the only weak points of the game in my opinion. The gameplay is fresh from the beginning to the end. It can be hard to solve, but not hard like in bullet hell battles, which are often used in game for cheap difficulty. Even if you avoid the damage and hit the enemies, they won't take damage unless you understand what you need to do, even the bosses, which mostly have multiple phases. All the characters feel real and loveable, even the villains, which often feel like good persons which only had a hard life or that are misguided. In fact, the lane between good guy and bad guy is very thin. My favourite one was Royal because he had the most significant character development, but all the main characters had that, more or less. The story got darker and darker in such a way it was shocking, but not overwhelming. This proves very good writing and great game design. The music was so good and fitting and often it helped me stay calm and positive in frustrating situations. Beautiful and detailed art which combined with the clever dialogue made the cutscenes fascinating.
Play this game. Is so worth it. 9,5/10 for me.
Gabriela Stan Idem good resume
The game was great, a good metroidvania (more linear though) but the story was so deep and how things chain together. The clash of ideals and beliefs, every character was interesting and the main cast of the game (Robin, Royal, Mina and Elro) were well written interesting and honestly watching the credits (the scenes following what happens to some of the people) just wanted me to play the game again.
RIP Royal...
I think I'm sold. Like, from the moment you mentioned Metroid Fusion.
this reminds me of many of my other favourite video games, i'll definitely be checking this one out
I remember stumbling across a demo for this game somewhere (no idea where) a long time ago, not having any idea whatsoever what it was supposed to be. I was blown away though, and now the game is finally out? Count me in!
I just saw that this is on sale on the PSN store and I was looking for reviews to see if I should buy it. I seen a bit of it and from what I seen, I liked but I wasn't sure if I should buy it, especially with other games I also want to buy in the sale. After watching this, now I really want to play it! Great review! You helped make up my mind. If I decide not to get anything else, then I will definitely just pick this up.
I bought the game shortly after you uploaded this, but got stuck on the Agent White fight (I forgot about the charge bomb being a rocket and couldn’t leave the one room) but finally sat down to finish it this last month bits at a time.
Totally worth it, and having just beat it today, I’m still trying to figure out how exactly to word my enjoyment of it. It’s such a wild ride, but never a bit dull.
Also, come on, the tower was a highlight! I felt so smart as I figured out how everything all linked together in the end.
I loved Noitu Love 2 a lot and have been looking forward to this one. Not many people were talking about it, but seeing you give it attention with this review has given me the knowledge, that this is a game that won't disappoint! :)
This game is fantastic. I've been waiting for it for years!
Noitu Love 2 has been one of my favorite games for a long time so I have been expecting Iconoclasts for a long time.
Konjak makes really awesome games.
Noitu Love 2 is one of my all-time favorite video games. I was all over Iconoclasts as soon as I saw that it was by Joakim Sandberg.
Oh yeah, Iconoclasts is amazing. Especially the art and music. It's in many ways a masterpiece.
im liking this year so far. gave us two platforming gems, this and celeste
Rainy Days the year of 2D platformers?
gorgeous difficult 2d platformers are some of my favorite games. i would not mind seeing many more released
Just finished celeste, maybe ill play this now
Have you tried out Dandara? While it's a little different from your standard platformer, it's a stellar high-bit game with wonderful music and a prominent difficulty curve.
ive seen videos of it. not sure if its to my taste but i might give it a go sometime later
Suddenly found out that my friend at work likes your videos and mentioned this to me. told him I know snoman since he was just a little youtuber
sadly I didn't see ANY theories on iconoclasts
I wanted to know more about Fitzroy
Ok, I'm sold. Great review.
It's been a long time since I felt like playing a 2d platformer, but you totally convinced me. I can't wait to play it for myself!
Well. Sold.I'm really enjoying the Metroidvania Renaissance.
God I already wanted this but now I really want this.
My only downside on iconoclasts is how the endgames makes you see all its flaws but the journey through it makes me forget all of it.
Free with PlayStation Plus this December!
Yeah man, finished it today, I was not expecting such a deep plot. What a great game!
I loved playing this game, Robbie is one of my favourite characters in indie games
An hour into the game. Pretty good so far!
I was already interested, but now I know for sure I want to get this game!
Yep, it's on my wish list. Gotta work on my backlog first!
I was just wondering what to play, tnx man xD
Good video! I know this is slightly unrelated but I hope you do a video on the Hat in Time update scheduled for later this year. I bought the game on your recommendation and was not disappointed.
I remember this when it was a barely finished alpha build, years ago
I love hidden gem indies! I definitely have to get back to this one at some point..
you don't need to tell me, I already have it on my steam wishlist because it looked so cool when I first saw it on a newgrounds ad.
Haha, I get the "Don't point your butt at me" joke now!
2018 doesn't dissapoint and there are so many good indie games coming!
Fun fact:
Konjak is Swedish for Cognac, which is an alcoholic beverage.
So he's a drunk game dev, ...cool.
I got to play this game through PSPlus and I love it. Gonna get it on PC too and get Noitu Love 1 and 2.
I am a big Konjak fan! I've played and endgamed both Noitu Love games and now Iconoclasts! I might be a little biased, but OH MAN THIS GAME IS THE GOOD SHIT
Well, would you expect anything less than incredibly awesome collection of boss fights when it cites Metroid Fusion as it's chief inspiration - The Metroid game with the best set of boss fights in the franchise?
Gizensha Fox and that agent that goes after you? Male version of the SA-X
I’ll definitely consider picking this game up! In the meantime, I’ll be waiting for you to make a video on Celeste! ; ]
i hope this is the year of story games
Seems inspired by Gunstar Heroes, Metal Slug, and the Megaman Zero games for the GBA, along with perhaps a bit of Shantae for the ladies, when it comes to the graphics and animation. Metroidvania with insane gameplay (Not unlike what Platinum Games does sometimes?) I really want this now. Thanks for bringing it to my awareness!
I just marathon'd the game last night and I gotta say it was a pretty good experience for the money, credit where credit is due, it's a lot higher quality than a lot of modern games that try their hand at the Genre. My personal favorite aspect is how during some boss fights, you can learn how to avoid hits by watching your party members run, duck and cover, which just lends itself to the game's great attention to detail.
Though, I can't help but feel a little unsatisfied in the end.
Just played this and I’m right with you, definitely one of my favorite indie games of all time. It’s a shame this game isn’t getting the attention it deserves.
This video was great got me to buy the game. Besides the tower level I've been having a great time. Stay cool Snowman
Seem fun. I don't think I'll enjoy it more than my personal favourite of the year so far (Subnautica) but I think I'll buy this as soon as I get my next paycheck.
I love Iconoclasts. It’s one of my favorite games till today.
I definitely loved this game, it's not without its flaws (Mainly in the story) but still awesome. And the fact that it was made by pretty much a single person is astonishing.
This needs a switch version. But it literally just came out...
The Tower was literally my favorite level, I thought it was very well designed even though it's a bit disorientating for like 80% of the time you're there.
I just finished this game and wow. I didn't expect it to be so dark and good. Poor Elro...
“Just stay with me” 😭😭😭😭
On sale atm over at Steam. Def. gonna' buy
I really love how a lot of games in this series are coming to switch and thanks to that I've gotten to play a lot of them
Bad it didn't get the recognition it deserves, it's my personal favourite of 2018 along with celeste. It's enough that I got to play it on the vita as one of the last worthy games that will be released on that great device.
I tried this game from PS+ and I was blown away. Iconoclasts is right up my alley, and I gladly would've paid full price, had I heard of the game earlier. I'll try to pay it forward by telling my friends how epic Iconoclasts is.
Why have I never heard of this game before? And why did I get this video recommended so late? I'll check that out!
Narrator: This is the best game I've played in 2018 so far.
Celeste: Hold on fam, imma getcha real soon.
I've played both and I definitely prefer Iconoclasts. Celeste is good but I found it a little pretentious.
masterpiece.
The first boss was actually that controller in the broken house, before you even got the wrench.
I beat the whole thing. Absolutely amazing.
just got this on switch in the sales. got rayman legends and gris as well. still a bunch more I want, but sale is on till the next year, so got time to decide. probably gonna get owlboy and steamworld dig 2 as well.
I am playing this masterpiece thx this channel. This game is so but so beautiful, animation and pixel art are just amazing, the detail about just 1 man job is really just a detail, this game is rly beautiful. But the hightlight is the story. Man, i love the story and all the charchts, they are so well craft. It is have and I would say almost a dark fantasy, with gour, blood and a lot of time no hope. It is a triller in the sense of incriese super fast the problems and you almost not see a solution. This game is just a muss play one.
Thx again Snowman, I think that I have played all the game from this show You need to play! hahaha
Snowman! You did the video!
Didn't know you could double jump with the gun. I'm about 2 hours in.
Personally I found Iconoclasts to be alright gameplay-wise, although the water-level was headache-inducing in how frustrating it was, outside its two bosses. I mostly enjoyed it for the plot... and on the subject of headaches, Agent Black being one of the best-written antagonists I've seen in a while.
Agent black is my favourite character
The game fucked me up for two weeks after her boss fight
Too much to handle
I beat it like 100 times and i still love this game
Do I sense a let's play coming along in this channel?
