Characterized by its non-linear design, labyrinthine maps and challenging bosses, the side-scrolling Metroidvania seems perfectly tailored for handhelds like the Steam Deck. Right now, you can add seven outstanding titles from the Metroidvania genre to your handheld library for just $14 from Humble, including some of our personal favorites.
The highlights of the seven-game bundle are definitely Axiom Verge and its excellent follow-up, Axiom Verge 2. Both games were created solely by Thomas Happ and remain classic examples of the Metroidvania genre, thanks to their distinctive environments, memorable soundtracks, varied abilities and pixel-heavy aesthetics.
