Thanks to Deal Editor RevOne for finding this deal.
About this game:
- Single-player
- Genre: Action, Adventure, Platformer, Role-Playing
- Game file size: 1.0 GB
- Welcome to Chasm, an action-adventure game in which you play a new recruit undertaking your first mission for the Guildean Kingdom. Thrilled to prove your worth as a knight, you track strange rumors that a mine vital to the Kingdom has been shut down. But what you discover in the mining town is worse than you imagined: The townspeople have disappeared, kidnapped by supernatural creatures emerging from the depths.
- Honor-bound to solve the mystery and restore peace to the Kingdom, you embark upon an epic adventure, with deadly battles against cunning monsters, exploration of ancient catacombs and castles, and powerful new equipment hidden at every turn. Though the overall story is the same for all players, your hero's journey will be unique: each of the rooms has been hand-designed, and behind the scenes Chasm stitches these rooms together into a one-of-a-kind world map that will be your own.
- This has a 7 out of 10 overall rating from IGN.

YouTube Review [youtube.com]
Only an hour into it, but gameplay feels fluid and very reminiscent of the Gameboy Advance and Nintendo DS Castlevania games (albeit, not as... sinister (?) in style or tone). Solid, under-the-radar indie "Metroidvania" clone (especially if you have a few eShop Gold Points to spend)

Actually for $10 Ritual of the night can be had on iOS/Android with reduced quality but still a lot more contents.
Nothing offensive about it, though I do think the term "inspired by" or "in the style of" makes more sense.

Bloodstained has performance issues on switch iirc.

As far as Chasm, I love the Metroidvania genre and this game was one of the most basically generic entrees in it. There's not much to it that makes it stand out and combat is not very deep. The fact that it's "procedurally generated" is actually a detriment, in my opinion, since, because key objectives are randomly placed on the map, there is never a clear path of where you have to go.
Progressing usually devolves to: "oh, you just got a new upgrade that lets you double jump? Well backtrack to every location you can remember (because there's no way to mark the map) where double jumping would have been used and hope that one of them is the right path forward. But more than likely you'll just travel a room or two and hit a small upgrade (health, etc) with no other way forward then have to travel across the world to another location and try again."
For $8, you can find much more enjoyable Metroidvanias that often hit that price when they're on sale like Hollow Knight, Rive, Sundered, and Aggelos.

Aggelos has bugs too. In particular, it lost large quantities of my saved progress. I gave up on that game immediately. I also thought Chasm was a better game. Of course hollow knight is 100% fantabulous. I'm playing through that now (got about 15hrs in on PC and switched to... Switch. )
