[Review] Pronty (PC)

The best underwater steampunk Metroidvania I’ve ever played!

Pronty is a satisfying finale for my current run of aquatic-themed games. A friend linked me to the Steam page and I was hooked. The moody 2D hand-drawn look is eye-catching, with its mutant rubbish-fish dwelling in a ruined art-deco undersea city. I’ve noticed a recurring theme of environmentalism in the marine games I’ve been playing, and it’s especially evident here. Taiwan-based developer 18Light Game likes to include such social commentary in their games, and there’s even hints of Taiwanese culture buried in this sci-fi postapocalyptic future.

Pronty is the name of our protagonist, or at least their class of genetic soldier fishpeople (in-game dialogue refers to them as he, while the Steam description uses “it”... shrug). In this future, mutated sea life has bonded with the refuse that humanity continually dumps in the oceans, and this new species of garbage/fish hybrids has fought back, driving humanity in its sunken Bioshock-style cities to the brink of extinction or perhaps beyond. Our Pronty and their “Bront” robotic eel partner are the last remnants of humanity’s morally-ambiguous experiments to create a resistance force, and must solve the mysteries of the polluted deathtrap of a city.

Gameplay feels quite inspired by Hollow Knight, with movement mechanics similar to something like Aquaria. You move freely around a Metroid-esque 2D map, changing up your build with slotted perks. Pronty has a dash that later can be augmented with other movement-based techniques to unlock new map exploration. Combat is quite interesting, as your eel buddy has independent movement and must be directed to attack, in my case with the right joystick. It can be charged to act as a temporary barrier and unleashed to land a more powerful blow.

The interplay of these core systems works well, making for a unique and dynamic control system. Changing out your build at save points then lets you suit your preference or the situation. The map seems well designed with shortcuts and lots of fast travel points facilitating the inevitable backtrack for secrets. The economy is balanced pretty well and the unlockables and upgrade paths are satisfying. I really don’t have much bad to say about this other than perhaps it’s not quite as polished to a high sheen as some other games I’ve played, but it’s very solid with a cool setting and some interesting quirks. What more could you ask for?

i feel like lately i've taken a small step back from this account and focused on other things in my life. here's my thoughts on this "radqueer-adjacent / paraphilia / transID / shipcourse" stuff:

i like the anti-contact paraphilia acceptance/education movement. i feel thankful for it; it helped me understand myself better and changed how i view abnormal attractions.

i’m still pro morphological freedom. i guess i'm still pro-transID because i don't have an issue with the term. (i don't like any of the alternatives more.) i feel like this has also helped me understand myself better

i’m still pro fiction (expressing philias through fiction, exploring dark topics through fiction; properly tagging). i like criticizing media and its effect on the world though

i’m anti contact: don’t try to have sex with kids, or (non-human biological) animals, try to be respectful of peoples corpses even if nobody is living in them any more, don’t rape people... (i think it's unfortunate that this needs to be said, but if you don't try to push pro-contact ideology away, it'll take over a community. this is what i think might have happened with the radqueer community to some degree, becoming more pro c / apathetic over time. or maybe it was always kinda bad and i just don't remember lol)

i’m tired of contact neutrality and i don’t like how contact-neutral the radqueer community is. my hot take: "making a safe space for everyone" is bad when "everyone" includes rapists (a safe space for abusers to be abusive = not a safe space for (possible) victims). it really gives me bad vibes when someone posts about paraphilias a lot, but doesn’t say anything about their opinions on if it’s bad to abuse animals/children. being against harmful contact is crucial to me.

i don’t really consider myself radqueer any more. but i’m still pro paraphilia and pro transID, so i don’t really feel like calling myself “anti radqueer” either, since that usually means ‘against transIDs or paraphilias in some way’. i'm not really "for" or "against" radqueer as a concept - i just don't like the community much any more. it's probably partly because i have grown more skeptical/critical of "contact neutrals", and also partly because it's just gotten worse in general from what i can remember.

i would really like to have more people in the world that are pro morphological freedom and pro para (skeptical of repression and "recovery" that's just trying to change the attraction, but anti contact). maybe that's an overly specific dream, lol.
