Morbid Metal Early Access Review Calls It Rough but Stylish
Game Spark published a review of the early access version of *Morbid Metal*, a 3D stylish action roguelite developed by an independent team and released on Steam on April 9, 2026. The reviewer played for 30 hours and earned all achievements. The game blends cyberpunk aesthetics with Japanese motifs, featuring three playable characters based on a samurai, a monk, and a ninja. Combat emphasizes evasion with a perfect-dodge system that opens counterattacks, and players switch between characters mid-fight to chain abilities. Each run offers three-choice upgrades, and the goal is to defeat a boss at the end of each area. The review praises the satisfying combat feel, the speed of character switching, and the soundtrack. It criticizes the lack of in-game explanations for mechanics like "Leak" (a damage-over-time effect) and "Orbs" (bonus damage from collected items), as well as the inability to view exact numerical values for upgrades. The reviewer notes that only two stages are available so far, but the developer has announced future updates adding more stages, bosses, and characters.
