Morphite (Low Poly FPA) launches September 7 [Switch/XBO/PS4/iOS]

Looks like a low-poly Metroid Prime mixed with a little No Man's Sky. Could be really neat for the right price.

Press Release said:
Morphite is an atmospheric exploration sci-fi shooter with platforming elements.

It is lovingly inspired by classics – Metroid Prime, Ratchet and Clank, and Turok.
Your goal is to explore the galaxy, research plants and animals, battle hostile entities, and unravel a mystery surrounding a rare material called Morphite. Morphite is set to be a deep and enriching single player experience with both a story-driven plot as well as open-ended, player-driven exploration and discovery.

The story of Morphite takes place in a far off future when humanity has long since populated the distant reaches of space. The player takes on the role of Myrah Kale, a young woman residing on a space station and workshop under the care of her surrogate father, Mr. Mason. What starts as a simple exploratory mission to gather supplies to support their shop rapidly turns into a journey revealing Myrah’s unknown past and her relationship to a rare, coveted, and nearly extinct material called Morphite.
In order to unlock and understand the mysteries of her past, Myrah must travel to undiscovered planets, roam uncharted sectors of space, and confront exotic creatures and locales in search of this Morphite.

Aside from the main storyline, the worlds of Morphite are randomly generated.
Encounter various creature types, landscapes, caves, rivers, and more to explore. Explore space stations, abandoned or infested with alien life.

Had me up until randomly generated. Ugh, that's one bad aftertaste NMS left.

The game has more in common with Metroid Prime, where the worlds are more like levels and are not like full planets. The randomized planets that are not part of the story are procedural though, but set up a bit more like procedural dungeons, if that makes sense.

A little fluff between the ears never did any harm...
Looks really pretty, I love low poly games like this. I'm really glad it's coming out so soon.
 
Just hearing about this now but it looks intriguing. I wonder how much there is to those 15, non-random, planets?

$15 CAD isn't a half bad price either. Being such a sucker for flat shaded polygons I might just go for it.
