Somehow this game got worse and worse the longer the story continued on. The enemies became more tedious and spongey despite being the same enemies you've fought all game. The major enemies who want you dead over and over and over somehow keep coming back like a bad penny because of decisions you get no say in, YET YOU MUST. Parts of your "party" become more and more frustrating and unreliable and there's not a …

This game has the best story ever deliaered within the medium. Had this been a movie, it would have become a timeless classic. Don't let the bright cute graphics fool you. This game is very dark with tragic characters that are so very lifelike, it's amazing it came from the mind of a smalltime solitary developer. Even the antagonists are fascinating. The gameplay is fun. It plays like a platformer with some …

Let's go, in-and-out, twenty minutes adventure >proceeds to be brutally traumatized by a 15 hour long gut-wrenching tale of religious fanaticism, surveillance state, class segregation, climatic disaster, violence and oppresion, body disfigurement, cosmic horror and existentialism. Oh, and cute, colorful spritework too.

A hidden gem with deep and unique worldbuilding, emotive characters with distinct motivations and a funny and engaging narrative, with beautiful pixel art to boot. The gameplay offers unique mechanics and ways of interacting with the world, secrets and puzzles that are the right amount of challenging and interesting bosses, each with its own distinctive patterns and mechanics.

I knew that it was going to be a solid game when I first got it. But it was the story that really surprised and impacted me. It really got me...

positive · AI labelView post →You can get Iconoclasts for extremely cheap on Nintendo Switch and Steam right now! Please support 💛 Switch: www.nintendo.com/us/store/pro... Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/393520/I...
neutral · AI labelView post →Speaking of metroidvanias, one game I can't recommend highly enough is Iconoclasts, still some of the lushest pixelart I've ever seen, and has one absolute hell of a good story with some positively wonderful characters, and it's 75% off right now. store.steampowered.com/app/393520/I...
positive · AI labelView post →20. Iconoclasts Yes, I keep recommending this game just about every Steam sale, no I probably won't stop. It's an action platformer with loads of puzzles, a fantastic soundtrack, some of the best pixelart ever, and a magnificent story with so many awesome characters, it's an all-timer indie gem.
positive · AI labelView post →70% off on Iconoclasts, the game people call the best one to launch right before two much more gigantic games! 🔧 #iconoclasts #steamsale store.steampowered.com/app/393520/I...
neutral · AI labelView post →2. Iconoclasts I recommend this game every other sale, but with good reason! A light metroidvania kinda puzzle platformer experience with some of the best pixelart I've ever seen, and a deeply engrossing story I'd compared to like something from a JRPG. store.steampowered.com/app/393520/I...
positive · AI labelView post →Hello! I am "konjak", I'm also an indie #gamedev who has made a few games, most notable ones probably being Noitu Love 2, Legend of Princess and Iconoclasts. Working on a new action game as best I can. 🛠 I work with pixel art, and sometimes I draw for fun.
neutral · AI labelView post →16. Iconoclasts This is another game I am recommending regularly, but with good reason. Bit of a light Metroidvania, still some of the best pixelart ever, fantastic characters, the music is incredible, and a plot that I likened to something you expect from a huge JRPG.
positive · AI labelView post →Thinking about game idles. In my game Iconoclasts, once I deemed the main character had "seen enough stuff" she idles less bouncy. I'm so cool.

neutral · AI labelView post →Nine Sols is so god damn good! I'm so glad folks are playing it, it stands up there with Hollow Knight. And my goodness, Iconoclasts is magnificent. Still some of the best pixelart I've seen in a game, and that story... god damn heartrending in places. Both games are just so wonderful.
positive · AI labelView post →I am once again here to tell you Iconoclasts is on sale on the Switch. No excuse no give it a go at this price. Cannot recommend this game enough. #blutoid #iconoclasts #switch
positive · AI labelView post →#phisart I draw Phisnom as Robin from Iconoclasts so he can play Iconoclasts
neutral · AI labelView post →Iconoclasts has such a special spot in my heart because it's the best example I can give of the soul a game retains when it's one person just putting in their game whatever they find cool, without trendchasers whispering in their ear "you have to do this to make it sell".
positive · AI labelView post →i found this super secret ending you have to beat the game in challenge mode under an hour in every save slot but you cannot do it in new game+ or copy the same save file dude trust me ◽ #iconoclasts
neutral · AI labelView post →Getting ready for 8k pixel art (actually from when I was making assets for Iconoclasts' trailers) #pixelart #gamedev #iconoclasts #animation
neutral · AI labelView post →You. The person reading this. If you want to try a life changing singleplayer indie game, play Iconoclasts.
positive · AI labelView post →Plushie I made for my son - Agent Black from the game Iconoclasts by @konjak.org. Son said it was inaccurate! I was quite pleased with her, anway. Her jacket comes off to reveal her second look.
neutral · AI labelView post →Btw Iconoclasts is currently on sale, you can get it for $4 and I highly recommend you do so, genuinely fantastic game through and through
positive · AI labelView post →36. Iconoclasts God I love this game, it's still got some of the most gorgeous pixelart I've ever seen, it's a metroidvania with a bit more emphasis on puzzles, and the story feels like something out of a sprawling JRPG, it's truly an exceptional indie game. store.steampowered.com/app/393520/I...

neutral · AI labelView post →It'd be easier to take this reaction to "indie" titles if any of them could actually describe what they mean by "indie." Is it one person making a game? Because anyone calling Stardew Valley, Cave Story, Owlboy, Axiom Verge or Iconoclasts "pixelart indieslop" has lost the plot entirely.

neutral · AI labelView post →Extremely cheap Iconoclasts , check the game out! store.steampowered.com/app/393520/I...
positive · AI labelView post →My take is this is because they were made with dithering in mind. Modern pixel art games like Iconoclasts, Eastward, Owlboy, Hyper Light Drifter, Moonlighter look pretty without dithering.
neutral · AI labelView post →This is going to sound like a bizarre complaint, and I'm fully cognizant of this. I am the last person to complain about accessibility options, but not being able to change settings once in-game is not acceptable. I didn't have many problems with the game at all until I got to the underwater level at which point my ears started aching because of how loud the explosion SFX from the player's bomb weapon was relative to everything else. The lack of stereo or mono sound choices is also quite…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Iconoclasts and Noitu Love 2 are some of the best games of those genres of all time, I think that is an outstanding track record to keep alongside the dream of having a good life with the one you love. If you make another game I’m all for it, but you also have priorities as a human being too.
positive · AI labelView post →I've been getting a lot of hard statements of imprecision in action games if you go full-on delta time, but I've only ever directly had consistency feedback from speedrunners on Iconoclasts, maybe twice. It's not a fighting game, but it seems a little overstated? I paid mind to this making it.
neutral · AI labelView post →Yall should def give Iconoclasts a go. Fun game, definitely a labor of love by Konjak, and it is both beautiful to look at and hear. Try Noitu Love 2 too! Really fun high speed brawler.
positive · AI labelView post →Iconoclasts Screw-loose adventures In Iconoclasts you play as Robin, a young mechanic armed with nothing more than her wrench, standing against a world ruled by a religious authority that insists on conformity. When you think about it, it is a striking image: a heroine defined not by a sword or gun, but by the tools of repair. Iconoclasts wants you to believe that fixing is as heroic as fighting, and that rebellion can be quiet, stubborn, and deeply human. The Metroidvania genre has always…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of my all time favorite indie devs is Konjak, guy who made Noitu Love 1+2, Iconoclasts and more Stumbled across @adventneon.bsky.social 's indie game and it's giving me really really good vibes I haven't really felt since those days so I just want to point people to it.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So.... I finished Iconoclasts. Holy shit. That game. Really goes places in the last third. I'm gonna need some time to digest all of that. (Also thanks to @rozzachu.bsky.social for the raid!!)
positive · AI labelView post →Owlboy was.... not great?? Visually very pleasing with a cute story but WHY IS THERE NO MAP??? WHY IS THE SHOTGUN SO BAD??? WHY WERE THE PUZZLES MEANT FOR BABIES??? Overall kinda just a letdown for how vibey the game was. Now playing: Iconoclasts
neutral · AI labelView post →Heavy Story Driven Puzzle Platformer; Not Classic Combat Centric Metroidvania First, lets start out with the positives. For a solo developer endeavor the game is vast and the art components are extremely well done. That alone is commendable. In fact, the art is so good that it sets a much higher bar for everything else in the game; which we will discuss later does not achieve that level of greatness. Additionally, the character controls well and for the most part does what you expect.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Srsly though Especially Iconoclasts that game actually made me think about my life.

I think I know the answer now.... Did *not* expect the creator of Iconoclasts to repost it! #notsponsored but if you haven't play Iconoclasts. Great game.

positive · AI labelView post →Iconoclasts is a very interesting game Seriously though, might be one of the most interesting Metroidvanias I've ever played in terms of storytelling, character writing and puzzle mechanics! It does a lot of things, extremely well, and I can't wait to play more.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Iconoclasts is not a metroidvania. It's a puzzle platformer with action elements. If you're looking for something more puzzle-solving, exploration, narrative-driven, with some fun boss fights thrown in there for good measure... then I would recommend it

neutral · AI labelView post →Started this game because the visuals were gorgeous, stayed because the story completely hooked me. The gameplay is fun, but the narrative was so intriguing that I couldn’t put it down. Loved it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unfortunately I bounced away hard from this game. And I really don’t know why. Everything — and I mean everything — is more than average from your standard, 2D platformer slop that floods Steam right now. The controls are tight and responsive, the graphics are gorgeous, the story is intriguing and well written… And yet, something fell off. Okay, let’s start from the beginning, shall we? First of all, if you are looking for a full fledged metroidvania, you will experience a little let down.…
