Critic Reviews
Niche Gamer
By Augusto A.Crypt Custodian doesn’t deviate far from the very basics of the Metroidvania formula, but it polishes simplicity to the point where you can’t help but be engaged by it. Having a tight combat system, exploration that doesn’t screech to a halt every five minutes, and a pleasant aesthetic is more than enough to create a fun experience, and Crypt Custodian does exactly that.
Smash Jump
By Ashton LovellCrypt Custodian, ultimately, is a charming adventure meant to relax rather than stress and which tried to help the player along rather than hinder their progress.
Siliconera

ProjectN
By Neto JaburCrypt Custodian is a charming Metroidvania adventure, featuring a deep narrative and engaging gameplay mechanics. Pluto’s journey in the underworld stands out for the originality of its premise, an immersive soundtrack, and flexible gameplay that encourages experimentation. Although the progression loses some challenge in the later stages, the striking visual design and the variety of enemies ensure a memorable experience. For fans of the genre, it is a must-have addition to the Nintendo Switch, offering a balanced mix of exploration, combat, and moments of reflection.
