About the game

Angel's Gear is a challenging horror-flavored Metroidvania set in a world tainted by a mechanical disease.
Description from the Steam store page.
Minimum specs

Minimum on the Steam store: 4 GB of memory, DirectX 9/OpenGL 4.1 capable GPU, 1 GB of storage. Windows only.

The value story

10 discounts in the 4 years on record, a median of 60 percent off across all of them, roughly 15 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 10 days ago.

It is pricier than 67 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 61 percent. On the same math Pronty ($4.49, scores 70) and AWAKEN - Astral Blade ($19.99, scores 50) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

Of the 254 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, none come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written February 2023 to August 2026.

What players say

Nice art style meets poor game design. It's a side-scroller with occasional Metroidvania elements and controls that feel like they're from the era of button phones. You can play it, but never touch the settings - they're broken. The same goes for the "Load Game" option; it only works occasionally. Fortunately, the game is short, so you can finish it in one session.
