Ukrainian studio Cheers has finally released its prehistoric metroidvania Neanderthallica on Steam, which has been in development since 2017.
Neanderthallica is a humorous 2D metroidvania set in the Stone Age, but with some elements of the world that are clearly sci-fi. You have to explore a prehistoric world, search for secrets and solve puzzles, create and combine various weapons and tools, use the forces of nature to change your environment, decipher cryptic prehistoric dialogues, and more.
Neanderthallica has Ukrainian and Russian localization, but the game is not sold in Russia. To celebrate the release, until July 8, 2025, Neanderthallica can be purchased with a 10% discount for only 168 UAH. If you are not sure whether you will like the game, a demo version is available on Steam.
