"Like most romhacks, the difficulty is ramped up, only this time, it's the damage output of Planet Eris' inhabitants rather than ludicrously precise jumping with instant death as a result of your failure. Personally, I find this kind of difficulty to be a whole lot better really as it requires skill in choosing your enemies and knowing when to flee rather than just run n'gunnin.
For once, exploration takes the priority in the game play rather than arbitrary difficulty. There are hidden goodies everywhere in this well decorated landscape. The missile pickups are dramatically cut down to the point where you'll be needing to hunt the missiles down rather than just say "cool, more missiles". There's a few new gizmos for you to play around with as well, but I won't spoil that for anyone.
The world itself is just beautiful. This is the first hack I've seen to use this many customized tiles. The music in the areas was carefully chosen to impact the ambient affect and it really shows. The creepy areas look and sound creepy and the lonesome places do the same.
Give it a try, but don't be alarmed by the difficult enemies, it's truly a marvelous experience."

"Not even Redesign left me this speechless."
-Bloodsonic
"This hack is extremely epic, I can't help but stare at each and every room, difficulty is tough but it just makes finding stuff that much better! Wow, I'm pretty much speechless, absolute masterpiece."
-daltone
"A beautiful hack all round; fantastic work. The environments were great with tons of detail and uniqueness."
-Derakon
"It's the kind of hack that I've wanted to see for years, a complete re imagining of super metroid. Thanks so much for this."
-shiidii
"This game is the definition of Epic. The exploration is intense most of the time, but that makes it even more of an accomplishment when you find stuff.. one of the best, if not THE best hacks ever made."
-squishy_ichigo
"Holy fucking shit this was epic.
I've never played a game that's actually made me feel this excited and this worried for the character when I'm playing it. All of the exploration made me frustrated, but it was a good kind of frustrated. I felt lost, and all of the stone statues everywhere made me stop and think sometimes, "What happened to these people to turn them to stone?"
I absolutely enjoyed going into the deep and fighting the rest of the bosses. Amazing stuff. I loved the whole hack, and I think it really deserves a sequel."
-CyclopsCaveman
"Not really much more to say than this hack is a Masterpiece."
-ChozunSDA
"This would have to be the best SM hack I've played, the effort put into it really shows."
-axiol
"Wow. Too epic, and when I say "too", I mean, I just shat. But seriously, I had tons of fun with this game, the backgrounds were so great they were almost annoying at how they integrated so well with the foreground and it's surroundings."
-TAxxOUTBR3AKxx
"This hack is definitely the BEST HACK EVER even it's 'just' a minihack!!!
Every Metroid fan have to play this!
You can't even describe this with a million words!"
-Black Falcon
"The areas were done beautifully. The mix of layers is superb, and made the hack look like completely new GFX were used, though they weren't."
-Sadiztik Fish
"I would say this is tied with Redesign as the single best hack of Super Metroid ever made."
-Televangelist
"This game was like what a true "Super Metroid II" would have been like! As someone posted earlier, it felt like I was in places I never, ever should be in! I think it felt like that, sort of like it feels when your in a weird dream where the places are familiar, but oddly different. The long elevator down to Spore Spawn is like a nightmare come true, and the water reflections were truly beautiful. Other parts felt like I was Samus running around inside Castlevania!"
-Jinx
"Enjoyable hack. Highlight for me are definitely the amazing colour changes, and creative background- and level design that bring a totally different atmosphere in pretty much every sector to the game."
-Saturn
"It was a "pretty cool hack bro"."
-Cpadolf
"Wow, just wow is all I can say at this point, Dmantra you have set a new standard for metroid hacks.
This is by far my favorite Super Metroid hack I have ever played. As far as quality and innovation go I'd say this is on equal footing with Redesign."
-Thane
"Just a word from someone who has seen, worked on, and played (some of) Eris:
Usually when playing hacks, I *feel* like I'm playing a hack (you all know what I mean). Being constantly reminded that something is a hack depresses me and I generally lose interest after a while (there are exceptions to this, of course, but they are few and far in between, imho).
Eris is an exception to this. Even though it does have a "mini" feel to it (as DMantra already pointed out), it actually feels like I'm exploring a new world (ie- not just playing a rehashed version of the same thing again). I don't play many hacks (ironically), but this is one I definitely will be playing through when it's officially time."
