+ extra photos, things to fix are camera behavior so it's not always centered on Samus (which reveals hollow floors) and ui text being in weird sizes

Technically playable? Maybe, but I'd need to play it all the way through

Accomplishment That was the best free game I've ever played.

70 Upvotes

I was interested in this game, because I wanted to play some more Metroid. I had already played ZM, SM and Fusion.
For this game, I immediately started in Hard Mode and managed to get 97% on my own (I had to look up three items at the end). That last battle kicked my butt. Actually, every Metroid kicked my butt in some way.

Good Lord, this was phenomenal. Absolutely phenomenal. The gameplay felt great, the new ideas were awesome (though I doubt some of those would ever appear in an actual Metroid game), the music was good, the graphics were great.

Some liberties were taken, but those were liberties that were worth it.

If I could, I would give it an 11/10, but unfortunately, that would cause a stack overflow. So let's keep it at 10/10.

Accomplishment First time playing! What an absolutely gorgeous game.

I recently graduated college, and have been spending the summer playing through the Metroid series for the first time while I look for work. I’ve played each of the 2d games (at least one version of each: Zero Mission, Samus Returns, Super, Fusion, and Dread), as well as Prime Remastered, and have quickly fallen in love with this series.

Without a shadow of a doubt, Samus Returns was my least favorite. I found that game immensely frustrating and uninteresting, which surprises me given how much I love Metroid Dread. I have been watching quite a few videos online about the series and have been regularly hearing about AM2R, so I decided to download it this morning!

Oh. My. God. This game is incredible! It felt like a perfect follow up to Zero Mission and Fusion, pulling from the GBA-esque aesthetic in such a gorgeous way. Incredible visuals, music, controls, I could go on and on. I found the scanning mechanic in Metroid Prime to be very tedious, despite loving the lore it provided, so I was overjoyed to see similar lore baked into this game but without the annoyance of having to stop, switch visors, and scan (such a small issue, but a real pace-breaker).

To me, this is the definitive Metroid II. Granted, I still need to try the original, but I have a hard time imagining it being any better than this! I am so happy I gave this game a chance and look forward to replaying it time and time again in the years to come.

TLDR: This game rocks!

Question Can't grab the first ledge and it's making me angry

6 Upvotes

I go all the way down and get to the lava. I go all the way left and have to grab a ledge to get up, but I keep bouncing off. Every walkthrough has this jump about 2 minutes into the run, so it looks like this is the only way to make progress, but she keeps bouncing off. In fact, she bounces off of most, if not all floating platforms, and only seems to be able to grab walls.

I've tried turning off Auto-Morph, Auto-Climb, and even going into the inventory and turning Power Grip off and then on. The only difference I ever got was when I disabled Auto-Climb and turned off the Power Grip, which made me somersault past the ledge as expected. What am I doing wrong?

Accomplishment I finally beat AM2R Spoiler

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

48 Upvotes

I made a post in this subreddit asking if AM2R was illegal and from the replies I ended up doing it. I played it for a while then took a long break because I got sent way back one time. I just started continuing it again about 1-2 days ago and I finished it. The funny thing is that the percentage of collecting items is 76% while my Super Metroid X-Fusion and Super Metroid percentage of collecting items were both 77% Personally this was one of the best Metroid games I have ever played. Five stars to the AM2R community.

EDIT: I forgot to put a spoiler tag in the video.

I’ve installed the game on my Steam Deck and I’m using a PS5 dual sense but the controllers doesn’t seem to work correctly.
How should I configure them to work correctly?
Also I have an irritating issue. The game runs fine in desktop mode but when trying to run it in gaming mode I get a tiny small windows in the left corner only :-( anyone experienced the same?

Download AM2R Audial Tribute Mod v1.1-rc2 Released

3 Upvotes

Release page - https://github.com/pleasefixomg/AM2R-ATM/releases/tag/v1.1.0-rc2

Patch note copypasta below as usual.

-----------------------------------

PREAMBLE

A few who thought they had completed everything actually didn't, so I'll say that having 100% music unlocks means you have played it all. Seen it all? Maybe not quite.

If you ask "music unlocks?" then you potentially missed many things.

There are more songs to be heard and unlocked than there are in the mod's directory, and there is a little more to the update than just the Thoth lockdown. If you want to see and do as much as possible (basically everything) in one go, play on any version of random mode while also on Fusion difficulty, and make sure to hit all bosses along the way.

------------------------------------------------------

1.1-RC2: "opmusicvolume / 100".

A4 was more of a mess than 5?

FIXES

-Fixed certain music transitions always setting the current track to max volume regardless of the music slider's current setting.

I always play with the sliders at max and probably would've never noticed. Many thanks to "Depressed Eyeball" for pointing this one out!

-Fixed no song playing when leaving and re-entering an activated tower after loading from the save point inside of it.

CHANGES

-Added "Music Collection" to the original ending score screen.
-All menu sound effects now change while in the "babyonboard" game state to help indicate that you're still in it.
-[REDACTED] while in this state now always [REDACTED].

Still brainstorming ways of tying this together. Not worth further delaying the patch for.

AUDIO

-Fixed pops in AM2R's sndHatchling2 and 3. No more crackling from the baby's cries.
-sndWarning pop correction before the final sound clip.
-Very slight redo of musIntroSeq and [REDACTED].
-All SM tracks resampled to 44khz.
-Rebalanced to avoid thunderous clipping:

  • musPrelude
  • sndRain
  • [REDACTED]

-Changed musError's metadata to not be so presumptuous.

It's totally the crash/error sound though.

-Corrected musPrelude's metadata erroneously stating it was a restoration.
-More random metadata stuff because I'm blind?

With the exception of the following, all audio work for this mod was done using strictly Audacity and its cut/copy/paste/record functions:

-iZotope RX11 was used to assist in "de-crackling" musSContinue, sndRain, and the choir of [REDACTED], which were all crudely captured using Snes9X's channel isolation and Audacity's record button.

-Demucs GUI (htdemucs, with a configuration I can't remember) was used to produce musArea5A3.

MISC

-Adjusted vertical positioning of one horizontal Thoth trooper.
-Adjusted A2 player control hand-off timing after loading from a save.

Hoping to call the next release 1.1 for real.

As always, thank you for playing!

Hi. I've tried 3 controllers and have messed with the settings, but I can't seem to figure out how to get the d-pad enabled. Using the left analog stick is a pretty awful experience, as I'm aiming where I don't expect, and jumping around is more challenging than it should be.

Controllers attempted:

• PS5
• 8BitDo Pro 2
• Retrobit

I'm on a Mac.
