Antro (2025)

Antro is a creative, rhythm-based indie platformer with a unique Spanish hip-hop vibe. Despite clunky controls and a predictable story, its powerful artistic style makes it a memorable experience

Antro is a musical platformer that blends rhythm and puzzle levels, set in a dystopian underground in Barcelona. Its greatest strength lies in its soundtrack, integrated into the gameplay, and its visuals inspired by urban peripheries. The story addresses themes of oppression, revolution, and inequality, but superficially. Despite the bugs and short length, it delivers a good sensory experience, but its short length lacks depth in the narrative and themes portrayed.

Antro makes you move and think to the beat, whether you're dancing through a burning hallway, tagging graffiti in a rebel hideout, or sneaking past deadly drones in the dark. It has great beats and a beautiful look that will keep you playing.

Antro is a work that dares. It shouts a powerful message through its soundtrack in a world that has stopped listening. The opening is striking, the artistic direction is captivating, and the use of music as the backbone of the narrative is undoubtedly original and powerful. However, when theory turns into practice, the game struggles to bear the weight of its ambitions. The repetitive and unpolished gameplay, the limited evolution of its mechanics, and various technical issues end up overshadowing an experience that could have left a much deeper mark — a goal that, for now, remains out of reach. It's a title that earns appreciation more for what it represents than for how it delivers it. And perhaps that's its greatest flaw: fascinating from afar, but fragile up close.
