El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron HD Remaster - Dramatic Edition
Nintendo Switch · 2024
About this game
The story of El Shaddai takes place in a fantastical interpretation of biblical themes, taking primary inspiration from the apocryphal Book of Enoch.
Enoch is sent by God to capture the angels which have lapsed in their duties to watch over the human world.

These angels, called Grigori, became fascinated with their charges and renounced Heaven to live and breed among the humans.
Enoch must traverse their realms, battle their aberrant Nephilim offspring, finally locating the fallen angels and bring them back into Heaven's fold.
As Enoch journeys, he is assisted by the head archangel Lucifel.
El Shaddai is a third-person action game which emphasizes platforming and melee combat.
The combat system uses very few buttons, instead relying on button timing to effect light, heavy, and counterattacks.
Enoch has no weapons of his own and must rely on stealing enemies' weapons via counterattacks.
These weapons degrade and must be periodically "purified" or discarded for new ones.
Combat occurs periodically in arena-like encounters, which then give way to either 3D exploration or 2D platforming.
The game's art style is primarily watercolor, though each angel's realm has a distinct theme.
About Nintendo Switch
Released in 2017, the Nintendo Switch became one of the best-selling consoles of all time thanks to its hybrid handheld/docked design. Its cartridge-based physical format (as opposed to discs) has made complete-in-box collecting popular again, with certain limited print runs and Nintendo-published exclusives already commanding a premium on the secondhand market just a few years after release.
Gamevaro tracks El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron HD Remaster - Dramatic Edition for Nintendo Switch with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron HD Remaster - Dramatic Edition to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NSW release dates back to 2024.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron HD Remaster - Dramatic Edition, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo Switch titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
