Mable & The Wood Review
Earlier this year, I took a brief glance at an early build of Mable and The Wood, a new game from Andrew Stewart at Triplevision Games. I found the core mechanics of the game fascinating, and I had high hopes for what the Metroidvania could eventually become. After all, you play as a young girl who can turn into a fairy, spider, or ghost. What could go wrong? Well, unfortunately, parts of the final product leave something to be desired. Ultimately, this is a flawed adventure with bits of fun strewn throughout.

Coverage Club: Mable & the Wood is Shapeshifting Up Nicely
If you could put every indie game in a bag and pick one at random, you’ll probably grab a Metroidvania with pixelated graphics. For an indie Metroidvania to stand out, it needs to be memorable and have satisfying game mechanics. With that in mind, what we’re seeing in Mable and the Wood looks promising. The aesthetic paints a bleak picture of the world, but Mable and her sword stand as a shining beacon of hope. The unique take on combat and movement leaves a lasting impression. Perhaps more importantly, the preview build leaves me excited and hungry for more.
