tourian is hard as shit, and made me rage quit my first time playing looking forever and a half for chozo guardians, since the hack is so large, and you get next to no clues sand in maridia makes getting around really hard wasting time with pointless lost caverns section that isn't fun gauntlets of death that makes playing console condition next to impossible spend a large amount of time to get an item, and it only adds 1 to your ammo total enemies are too hard far too often, you never really feel like your OP until the end of the game the physics are not very fun, gravity is too heavy when you finally beat it, its a rewarding experience, with how hard it can be lots of polish in the hack make it look professional It's a fine game, and has some rewarding experiences, such as: It expands the size of the game to three to four times the size of the original. It's an amazingly large overhaul of the game, and even today, we are only just now getting to the level of polish that was in this game. Read More This was my first hack, and is what got me into Super Metroid hacking. It might be worth that if you like a Super Metroid hack that makes you suffer. Its biggest saving graces are Screw Attack as soon as you attain Speedbooster (normally required to reach Draygon in progression post-Space Jump) and Tourian is right to the point (if not still a savestateathon because the Metroids are always on you and you don't have enough bombs worth dealing with them). You will suffer through a mandatory heatrun, fall in lava and not be able to get out, explore Norfair and not be able to get out, explore lower Norfair and be unceremoniously booted back to upper Norfair, enjoy no hints and have to search out all of the major items yourself, and lose plenty of health trying to screw attack grounded foes in lower Norfair (don't touch Ridley btw). You can read why in my Axeil review, but between this version and Axeil this version of Redesign has some of the dumbest design decisions, particularly late game (some of them are fixed in Axeil, thankfully in regards to filler Chozo guardian placement). Play Axeil, and then rip the band-aid off when you get to Tourian (aka dump your rom in the trash). UPDATED REVIEW, DATED 12/22/22: Don't play this. Still, it's worth checking out as a solid release and a experience you will likely never forget - good and bad. The physics fight you, there are great places to get stuck X-Ray won't help you out of, and Sidehoppers will try to shank you with impunity. Read More ORIGINAL REVIEW: It's the granddaddy of major hacks, alright.
