El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is a breath-taking combat title and tells the story of a lone warrior tasked with saving the human race. The game is set in a world in chaos, overseen by a number of angels named the Grigori. Originally the servants of God, these celestial beings once watched over mankind, but soon succumbed to temptation and abandoned Heaven to live amongst the people of Earth. After witnessing the Grigori’s negative influence on humanity and the construction of a blasphemous monument to their success, the Tower of Babel, the Heavenly Council pledged to cleanse the Earth with a great flood, thus eradicating both man and the errant angels.
One voice stood up to these omnipotent beings: a human called Enoch, who was a lowly scribe in Heaven. Thus, a deal was struck wherein if Enoch could capture the renegade angels, Earth would not suffer – and El Shaddai’s stunning 12-stage mission unfolds.
The player is cast as Enoch, who enters its beautifully-realised environment totally unarmed. The world of El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is layered in dynamic, ever-changing visuals, creating a truly original aesthetic style that runs through the game. It also reveals an immersive 3D world, where the unarmed Enoch must locate the errant angels and defeat them in combat. Although initially unarmed, Enoch is a master of hand-to-hand combat capable of stringing together incredible combination attacks, and can also arm himself with those weapons dropped by his defeated foes. These can then be incorporated into his attacks, improving his effectiveness further.
All weapons in El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron are crystalline in structure and possessed of supernatural powers capable of defeating the angels. They range from swords to projectiles, but most coveted of all is the Arch – a holy blade that can slice through absolutely anything. The Arch is key to Enoch completing his mission, but the sword must be first liberated from his angelic owner, and then its blade must be purified before he can complete his task.

El Shaddai
With the countless identical games being released year after year, there's almost no room for innovation, since the masses demand "more of the same" every year, since it always makes money. El Shaddai is a game that defies that logic, it innovates and shows that a game should be seen like a work of art, not some derivative of something else that already exists. With El shaddai you will surely find a game that is different from the rest. El Shaddai is a beautiful to look at, artistic, original, with an unique design and soundtrack, and it will surely keep you entertained for the entire play through, even though it has a small campaign.

Wonderful Action Adventure
If you are looking for a wildly artistic adventure game then El Shaddai will be exactly what you're looking for. It's a game that has good combat and mixes sections of platforming in between to keep the game from becoming too repetitive. The combat system is not too varied but still engaging enough to keep the player interested.

Strange feeling
This game is big in a sense that I feel the power of a small god that is trying to bring good to this universe! There is no other game like this one. Feels good to play something different besides shooting and racing. This is a game I will remember for a long time.

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron
El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is visually one of the most unique and impressive games I've played. The story is extremely convoluted, nonsensical and hard to follow but it doesn't detract from the simple but (for the most part) enjoyable gameplay. Combat will get a bit repetitive towards the end but it feels solid enough. Reminded me a lot of God of War or Devil May Cry. There are also some pretty creative side-scrolling platforming sections which are hit or miss. Some of them are absolutely stunning to look at and fun to play, but others are so frustrating that they make you want to throw your controller out the window. Nice little palette-cleansing budget purchase.
