NoobFeed: 57 / 100 by Joy Rahman

AWAKEN: Astral Blade is visually stimulating, with solid Metroidvania gameplay, though it falls flat in some key areas. Too familiar of a plot with a lack of substance on character development and dialogue will occur. Fun boss fights and exploration come with repetitive enemies and fiddly combat mechanics that just leave so much to be desired.

God is a Geek: 6 / 10 by Mick Fraser

Awaken - Astral Blade is a decent if run-of-the-mill Metroidvania, but don't go in expecting anything unique or particularly invigorating.

Analog Stick Gaming: 7 / 10 by Jeff M Young

Awaken: Astral Blade is a visually pleasing Metroidvania that has intense flashy combat, and an enjoyable world to explore, but it falls flat in areas that can get in the way of the experience. Its story and characters are immediately forgettable, and a constant slew of grammatical errors and painfully bad voice work really stand out in a bad way. There is a good foundation here for Dark Pigeon to work from and refine, especially as this is their first game. If you are the type to enjoy really any Metroidvania title and need a break from beating Hollow Knight for the twelfth time, then you could find some fun here if you don’t mind wading through its numerous flaws.
