Evaluation

Plus Ultra: Legado launched on October 9, 2025 as a complete 2D Metroidvania. Following launch, the developer shipped a series of post-launch patches through January 9, 2026, addressing combat balancing, hitbox reworks, map improvements, bug fixes, and a Mac OS port — all quality-of-life and polish work rather than new story content or expansions. The only DLC listed is the game's original soundtrack, which released on launch day and is already available. There are no unreleased DLC entries, no announced expansions, and no developer statements promising future content beyond the patches already delivered. The first post-launch update on October 16, 2025 included the phrase "This is only the beginning!" in a community-facing context, but this reads as enthusiasm for player engagement rather than a commitment to specific new content — and no subsequent posts have named or detailed any planned expansions or updates beyond routine fixes. The last developer communication was January 9, 2026. With no outstanding content commitments and a post-launch update pattern consisting entirely of bug fixes and balance patches (not major content releases), the game appears to have shipped as a complete product.

About this game

Explore the New World

Traverse the beautiful, immense lands of Mesoamerica! This interconnected world blends real-world, historical locations. A love letter to our rich legacy.

Wield your halberd!

You've seen lots of laser guns and swords. Even whips! But... Halberds? Man, that's such a cool and underrated weapon for video games! Ideal for pogos!

A Comicvania!

Comic art style blends into gameplay with a well integrated interface. The player is always in control in this comic book!

Our influences

We got several influences from games we love, such as:

Half-Life 2 - Open storytelling, so the player is always playing!
Super Metroid - Great atmosphere in an interconnected world!
Hollow Knight - Aerial combat through pogo-system!
Europa Universalis - Attention to detail when dealing with History!
Comix Zone - A diegetic use of comic art style in order to bring a unique experience.

Commitment to historical fidelity

Even though Plus Ultra: Legado is a fictional story with some supernatural events, we have made a strong research to accurately represent each civilization, character, and historical event. In fact, it has been translated into Nahuatl.

Colorfulness

Most Metroidvanias are very dark. Which is great! But Plus Ultra: Legado wants to offer something different, something fresh.

Open storytelling

Many sidescrolling video games force you to stop playing when a textbox appears. This is not the case of Plus Ultra: Legado. Move freely and even abandon story events if desired!
