After 6 years of solo development, anime-inspired Metroidvania riffing on Cuphead relaunches on Kickstarter with a $1 goal and raises over $9000

Screenshot of a boss battle from Exil.

Exil is another gorgeous side-scrolling Metroidvania that's just hit Kickstarter, and it's absolutely smashed its modest funding goal of... a singular dollar.

In true Metroidvania spirit, Exil has you traversing ''mystical landscapes'' to ''uncover hidden paths and secrets'' with fast and fluid action that lets you switch between different ability loadouts on the fly. What really caught my eye in the trailer below was how it riffs on Cuphead's delightful parry - where you can double jump off of pinkish projectiles - which encourages you to put yourself in danger if you want the extra advantage.
