ULTROS, the psychedelic side-scrolling Metroidvania from Hadoque, has expanded its reach. Previously available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC, the game is now out on Xbox Series via Microsoft Store and Switch via Nintendo eShop.
A sci-fi world like no other
In ULTROS, you wake up stranded on The Sarcophagus, a massive, cosmic vessel holding an ancient demonic being. Caught in a looping black hole, you must navigate this strange world, uncover its secrets, and decide your role—will you break the cycle or become a force of rebirth?
The game blends fast-paced, close-quarters combat with moments of peace, letting you tend to plant life in The Sarcophagus. This duality—fierce battles and quiet contemplation—shapes the experience. With every loop, you unlock new abilities and deeper paths, making each run feel fresh.
With its eccentric art style and a soundtrack by El Huervo (Hotline Miami), ULTROS is a sensory trip. The game delves into themes of mental health, karma, and existential cycles, woven into its rich environmental storytelling.
Is ULTROS worth the dive?
If you love Metroidvanias with deep lore, challenging combat, and unique mechanics, ULTROS is worth a shot. Now, with its release on Xbox Series and Switch, more players can experience its mind-bending world.
