Retronauts Episode 783: El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron
Zero problems detected.
An occupational hazard of covering old video games is the inevitable moment when you encounter titles you personally covered when they were new. 90s games, sure, I was a teenager, but you're telling me the PlayStation 3 turns 20 this year?
Put a pin in that for the inevitable $599-get-a-second-job podcast coming this fall because today we're talking about El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron, a 2011 release for the aforementioned PS3 and the Xbox 360. Once upon a time I (Diamond Feit) played this game at TGS and reviewed it for a magazine which no longer exists!
But that's in the past…or is it tomorrow? Find out more as I talk to Shane Bettenhausen, Chris Sims, and Benito Cereno. Chris and Benito have a podcast called Apocrypals where they once discussed El Shaddai and other Bible-adjacent games; please enjoy this YouTube video where the hosts compare holy figures to their Persona 5 equivalents.
Description: Diamond Feit, Chris Sims, Benito Cerino, and Shane Bettenhausen have no problem podcasting about 2011's biblically-adjacent El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron.
