Our take on Metamorfose S
Rather than presenting a fixed sequence of stages, the game links map access to Sebastian's developing abilities. Its structure combines exploration with equipment crafting, spell selection, enemy drops, and character levels, shifting the usual action-adventure focus toward ongoing progression.
What is Metamorfose S?
Combining role-playing elements with exploration across interconnected areas, the game follows Sebastian, a laboratory creation tasked with hunting escaped species.
Gerry, the scientist who made him, had predicted the creatures might break free; Sebastian was left asleep while the others joined forces against humans. New abilities open access to more of the expansive map, which records exploration as a percentage. The adventure includes multiple stages, enemies that drop materials, craftable gear, equipment options, spells players can select, bosses, and a bestiary. Sebastian also gains character levels. The game supports Steam achievements and collectible cards, along with Xbox 360 and Xbox One controllers.
