Do you hate evil corporations? Do you love stickmen, and are Metroidvanias your bread and butter? Then I might just have the perfect game for you. Stickility is a stickman-based Metroidvania that sends you on a quest to topple the monolithic corporation Biotec, which commits crimes in the dark and holds secrets you need to uncover.

Take the plunge into Biotec's deep underground facilities and fight stickmen as you explore and craft to further aid you on your journey. There is a lot of emphasis placed on the crafting element of Stickility, with many materials to be found scattered across the winding tunnels that can all be used to craft a new tool or weapon. This system emphasises the need to explore and search every area you can, as it benefits your adventure and its overall success.

This exploration will take you through labs, lush greenhouses, putrid sewers, caves, liminal halls, and much more, making each area feel different to the last and reinforcing the "evil underground facility" vibe.

These areas will hold various foes for you to quietly (or loudly) dispose of, ranging from huge bosses to small player-sized scientists, although don't let their size fool you; they may well have some surprises up their sleeves (like massive killer robots).

The weapons crafted from items you find during exploration aren't lacking in ability either, as they offer new movesets and ways to approach the game's already great "acrobatic" combat. These weapons can then be switched on the fly with a quick menu that allows you to swiftly pull out a different item of destruction to slice n' dice your enemies with, so if you feel like you need to switch up on the fly, you can!

If this stickman-shaped Metroidvania adventure sounds like your cup of tea, head over to Steam now and pick up Stickility for £10.61 on a 15% sale, or £12.49 if the sale has ended.
