56 of 56 · most liked firstDay 6 - Vernal from Vernal Edge Vernal Edge is a dynamic combat metroidvania type game a friend of mine made. You should give it a look when you have the chance! For this character illustration, I just used the three colors of ballpoint pens I had on hand. #art #illustration #ballpointpenart
unlabelledView post →It was a really short time we worked on this, I think we both consider ourselves pretty lucky This was my first real 3d project coming off Vernal Edge and I took the time here to transfer my 2d level experience into 3d ones. This game catapulted my skills forward, I wouldn't be where I am without it

unlabelledView post →Yo Vernal Edge is cool as hell, why aren't more people talking about this game?
unlabelledView post →One day there will be a Vernal Edge successor, only because I need another game for myself with character action juggling and real platforming mechanics.
unlabelledView post →Alex was a key mind behind Vernal Edge please wishlist his game.
unlabelledView post →I've personally released DEMON DUST on steam and have access to revenue reports for another game I worked on, Vernal Edge. Both of them have performed in entirely different brackets of revenue, but I would not describe either of those brackets as "viral success" or "bad day at a garage sale" 1/2
unlabelledView post →I have been summoned to shill Magenta Horizons is a 3D Ninja Gaiden stuffed into a brutal but beautiful 2D game Vernal Edge is a well polished Metroidvania with KH/Smash inspired combat Pseudoregalia is an exceptional 3D platformer with a small but dense map to explore and lovely low poly visuals
unlabelledView post →Moderator @gbmento.bsky.social has a new entry in their "Indie Game of the Week" feature on Giant Bomb and this one looks at Vernal Edge! Read why they enjoyed its small touched but not so much its combat. User Blog: www.giantbomb.com/vernal-edge/... #games #gmaing #indiegame #indiedev #vernaledge
unlabelledView post →gonna ramble about something in a thread for a bit. A common point in Vernal Edge reviews are comments that say the game feels old school in some way. Positive reviews bring this up as a compliment. Negative reviews frame it as a negative, using words like "archaic" or "clunky"....
unlabelledView post →#games #promosky Once again Happy Birthday to me and while my gf bought me Bubsy 4D (lovely game, do recommend), my bff bought me a more low-profile and older Vernal Edge metroidvania. …I saw that game takes place on flying islands and has airships and I really can't resist such settings😭
unlabelledView post →So I just found out that this absolute banger of a game is on sale for just over 3 bucks for the next two weeks. Play Vernal Edge. I got literally 100+ hours of fun out of exploring this combat system and I still get cravings for more. #Metroidvania #Action #Indiegame youtu.be/Y7d_XymPYlA?...
unlabelledView post →Vernal Edge - What do you MEAN it's been three years since this game came out? twitch.tv/ashthemaus
unlabelledView post →I guess we were obviously drawn to make the type of game we grew up with, but I feel like Vernal Edge was more committal to its 00's action game roots than players were comfortable with.
unlabelledView post →The slide in Vernal Edge is maybe the sexiest feeling ground slam bonus effect I've felt in a game, way too slick once you figure out extending it and attacking out of it in cool ways
unlabelledView post →Doodle I did today in a magma session of Vernal from Vernal Edge. Very good game by the way, you should check it out: store.steampowered.com/app/1546710/...
unlabelledView post →Made some great progress in Wizard with a gun! I enjoy that game, didn't have the best of times with Wallachia. Then tried Vernal Edge, which was a wonderful time! I look forward to more of that! Thanks to twitch.tv/tripledeek for the raid! We sailed to @permaverm.in for Viewtiful Joe!

unlabelledView post →If you want a game with a similar combat design, I'd recommend checking out Vernal Edge first. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xN1k...
unlabelledView post →We have another Sunday night where I am trying to maintain consistency so we are streaming and playing some more Vernal Edge, ready to see more of what this game has to offer. www.twitch.tv/roybrewer
unlabelledView post →Going into another week of streaming will play Vernal Edge until it is cleared and then move into a new game. Stream Schedule in EST: Sunday 930pm - 1am Monday 11pm - 2am Tuesday 11pm - 2am
unlabelledView post →Played the demo myself. I think it's neat. It's a side scrolling style action game akin to DMC and Vernal Edge.
unlabelledView post →Vernal Edge; Very good looking, very good OST, very good combat. Very very good game.
unlabelledView post →So today's stream is this because I feel like it. Come by and watch me shake off the rust with a piece of indie game gold that lives rent free in my head since its release: Vernal Edge! Twitch.tv/shuncrone
unlabelledView post →#AVReviews First, the good. Vernal Edge uses an authentically washed out, crunchy pixel art to evoke an era of gaming that couldn’t possibly support a game of this scope. Audio is fine, save for some shrill, Casio keyboard effects in some areas. Movement upgrades are significant and empowering.
unlabelledView post →I love stuff like this. Like Vernal Edge, in the Task Manager it shows up as "the game with a sword in it"
unlabelledView post →Enjoying my week-long vacation, celebrated my birthday yesterday, enjoying game presents, Bubsy 4D (from my gf) and Vernal Edge (from my bff). Living a good life. Bubsy 4D is REALLY fun, I must say.

unlabelledView post →Couldn't beat the boss before the update so I'll probably finish offline after the update. Next stream starts new game so we'll be playing Vernal Edge.
unlabelledView post →Streams we are going to be doing more Fallen Tear The Ascension this week, I am likely getting to the end of early access content once that's been completed Vernal Edge will be the next game on the docket. Schedule for Twitch Sunday 930PM -1AM Monday 11PM-2AM Tuesday 11PM-2AM VODs are in YouTube
unlabelledView post →going to pull from my recent games and go for Vernal from the game Vernal Edge. She feels like she'd work well in a dynamic style such as Panty and Stocking's
unlabelledView post →for the stream tonight, we're checking out the Rad Venture demo and then back to Vernal Edge youtu.be/AGfI7JNrrNw
unlabelledView post →#AVReviews However, I think I’ll remember the positive qualities of Vernal Edge over those shortcomings. Movement and combat are excellent, and genuinely bring something unique to an overcrowded genre I hope other developers take on board. I just wish I could have met the game on its own terms.

unlabelledView post →I had a great time with Decline's Drops, has a strong core kit. Only just started Magenta Horizons but it's already got me replaying levels for S ranks so it might be onto something, Vernal Edge is a stellar game that I definitely didn't back, no conflicts of interest here! Pics unrelated.
unlabelledView post →So popular they were even featured in the hit game, Vernal Edge.
unlabelledView post →I've had a similar idea in my head for about a decade since playing the Tales games its why I've wanted to go into game dev. I would recommend you check out Vernal Edge its similar to what you're describing in the 2nd post!
unlabelledView post →42. Vernal Edge I remember playing this game a couple years ago and rage quitting pretty early on, but now that I've completed it 100%, I think it's great! I came to really like the combat by the end, and you get some pretty rad movement upgrades. Story hits a lot more than I thought it would too!
unlabelledView post →I beat Vernal Edge, finally (~19 hours in-game), and it does feel like an early try but also it has genuinely fun traversal, like imo second to Super Mario Odyssey to me, a high skill ceiling for combat (I am lying here on the floor but the ceiling is defs far away)
unlabelledView post →There are a number of not terribly positive reviews on Vernal Edge and it feels like a second game from the same people could be a lot better, but I'm not gonna lie it's got really fun traversal, and feels like it controls tighter than Ori and the Blind Forest all around
unlabelledView post →30. Lone Fungus: Melody of Spores (2025) Similar to Vernal Edge in terms of me still going through it (still pending review!), but this is a nice metroidvania to try and play. It's clear that this game has more of the "Vania" side of Metroidvania, especially since there's examples of SCIV in this.
unlabelledView post →29. Vernal Edge (2023) I'm still going through this game as I speak, but Vernal wasn't the protagonist I was thinking I would be playing as. She is so sassy and wants to get to the point of everything she comes across. I'm definitely looking forward to playing this game more.
unlabelledView post →Going to play a game i never heard about. "Vernal Edge" www.twitch.tv/nathan0m
unlabelledView post →Vernal Edge is another game with similarly inspired combat, instead being a more open metroidvania with some wonderful pixel art! Both games I own and have seriously been meaning to play store.steampowered.com/app/1546710/...
unlabelledView post →for the stream tonight, we have metroidvanias with Vernal Edge and Gal Guardians to play youtu.be/QAzZt_ZSj3E
unlabelledView post →Yeah, I get this vibe. Soulstice and Vernal Edge are probably my picks for games which are pretty objectively unpolished, but still hit just right. Both hard recommends from me. Especially Vernal Edge tbh, that game has like no profile and deserves more.
unlabelledView post →Added Vernal Edge to the illustrious list of “games I beat while waiting in the car to pick the kids up”. Had what professional critics call “complex feelings” i.e. it’s obviously a good game but boy howdy did I struggle to enjoy it.
unlabelledView post →👓: Occasionally I'll grab a game on sale when it's bundled with other games. Like I got Vernal Edge at a steep discount. Which is good, because it's the most frustratingly dull Metroidvania I've played yet.
unlabelledView post →Vernal Edge (2023) closest approximation to "PSX game you never saw before that you picked up at a rental store" you could imagine. interesting 2d combat-focused platformer that has a bit of stumbling with the poise system but solid level and art design, even has a cute little 3D overworld to fly in
unlabelledView post →‼️ Vernal Edge ps4 a 19,99€! También en Game en todas las plataformas! amzn.to/4jnnj3U
unlabelledView post →Its kinda sad that a game vaguley inspired my Skies of Arcadia, Vernal Edge a 2D metroidvania still had you use a air ship to fly to islands but not this game. Finished Vernal Edge last year and had a great time with it personaly mostly
unlabelledView post →Vernal Edge is a really fun game when you get the wall jump
