Edit: As mentioned, storyline is VERY difficult to follow if you can at all. If that’s what you’re after then this won’t be the one for you, if you’re a souls fan though it actually felt quite reminiscent. Gameplay is where this one lives.
Ah a good old Metroidvania review I feel like I might be the outlier with this one.I will say i totally forgot to mention text size is also small but there is voice acting for all subtitles for handheld players thought – worth considering.. let me know what you think! Mark
Oh look…another metroidvania side scroller with generic art style. Enough
early area is the only place u can one shot enemy..later in the game no matter how high your level is..enemy pretty much brutal.
when level up,renee increase in hp,mp and defense…not attack.
attack stat only increase by unlock at talent and equip armor/accessory that raise your attack stat.
soo you're fck without better equipment..some equipment that have better stat hidden throughout the world,some require you to navigate a road full of spike and you need to do some pogo jump on enemy at same time.
It looks beautiful and the combat looks good so it's all gravy for me
Zero charm and soulless like most Chinese and Korean made games. They've a long way to go
This gives me a similar vibe as Blasphemous for some reason.
Thanks for the very detailed review! We're truly appreciated. As for some of the problems addressed in the review like the teleporting, will be changed in the coming patch.🥰
Man, does everything need to side scroll? It's like the industry has regressed to the early 90's.
Looks lovely, I'd want a physical though so it there's a demo I'll get that to start I think. Cheers guys seeeeyaaaa!!
£20 is a very good price for what looks like a long, beautiful and engaging metrovania. It’ll have to go on the wish list though, shelled out £50 for TotK – so excited!
God this game looks so awesome! I can't wait to pick this up and dive into it.
This looks fantastic. Those worlds are beautiful. Can't wait to play.
Story sounds like a mess to me. I know the "Ubisoft" style well where they just throw some stuff in a box then add a layer of glue to try to stick it together. Also don't like what I'm hearing about gate keeping enemies, for me a good Metroidvania is Dread where skill is the only thing you need. In a good Metroidvania, you shouldn't have to grind, then it's just another RPG.
Edit: It's made by a chinese company. This disgusts me. All I've ever seen the chinese do is copy better games. This looks like they took parts of Ori, Hollow Knight and just a ton of random stuff and stuck it together. Hard pass.
This game is just so pretty 🤩 I can't afford it right now, but whenever I get the funds I'm getting this for sure 😀
Does game have chinese dialogues or maybe japanese too (like steam version)?
Not gonna lie. I first thought this looked like a cheap mobile game. Detailed art but clunky animations and superficial gameplay. Thank god I was proved wrong! I looove metroidvanias. When will Castlevania return?!!
The story can't be that messy😅
Looks interesting. Thanks for the review.
This game looks amazing. But TBH I'm just here for the Seeeyaaaaaa!
It looks a lot like ender lilies- which I believe is made by the same developers. That game has some great elements but kind of stays stale in the combat department from what I've played. Hopefully, the developer's experience from that game helps this one….
I have been keeping an eye on this one but there's honestly too many games coming out and idk if my wallet can handle them all!
looks terrible.
Picked this up on Friday and have been playing since and it is just absolutely beautiful! Every so often I just stop to stare at the artwork. Wasn’t sure if I was going to like how the map works, only filling in after you’ve explored and saved, but I actually enjoy it. I also don’t mind the way you fast travel…I know it may be annoying to some but I’ve found quite a few potions allowing me to fast travel. I’ve also been having fun backtracking to find little areas ive missed and just exploring the massive world. The only issue I feel is the loading time when first opening the game and if you die it can take like a minute before you respawn but to me the good definitely out ways the bad.
i think it's first positive review of this game, so worth a shot after all
Looks like a lot of fun!
the character loooks like he have 15 fps xD
This game is gorgeous and is very fluid in the gameplay. Really enjoying myself with it. That initial load time for the switch is literally about 5 minutes for those who aren't aware. I thought the game was bugged but give it time and it will pay off.
Game is great. Travel system is broken badly. No reason you shouldn't be able to fast travel for free. Really ruins it for me.
This feels like the intersection between Ender Lilies and Ori and I am HERE for it!
Already got the game but was still waiting for this review from you guys 😅
Are you guys planning on reviewing Labyrinth of Zangetsu? Would love your take on it.
Now, I'm not nitpicking dude. BUT… you spelled world incorrectly on your overall rating. Still love you guys 😂❤
This was so cool to watch. I voice Ifree, and I really appreciate the kindness/ shout out for the voice acting! I’m glad we were able to add to the experience in a positive way 🙂 (also, I just added my mom’s maiden name to my performer name, and this is the first time I’ve heard it out loud. Totally made my day 🙂 )
Preordered mine off Amazon, came in a couple days ago. Haven't played it yet due to still playing another game and waiting to see if this game has any future patch updates. Have you been experiencing anying crashes at all or long loading screens that lead to crashing? Been hearing this things online, not just for the Switch but for all consoles
I’ve ordered it. I hope I can get past the first boss Mark mate lmfao 🫶
I've been following this game for a while. Looks like it didn't disappoint.
A very amazing game with beautiful art style.
How long is the main history??

I will FOR SURE buy this. It looks so good and I love when a game has a huge amount of different types of enemys. I will just wait a few weeks until they have patched it up.
This looks fantastic. I’m working through Ender Lilies right now so this will go on the wish list for my next metroidvania.
Yet another good looking game on Switch that needs to be patched? Well, wishlist and waiting for sale in future then…
Thanks! I’m still slightly torn on this one. I can’t fully decide. Staying on my list for now.
im level 50 and i dont know what to do 😂😂😂im lost
The best MV game for sure. not even exaggerating. it's way too good.
So are most indies"games in general" just making all main characters strictly females now? Gameplay looks good but the gaming industry is clearly pushing an agenda. It could be a little more mixed up seeing ive never seen G I Jane in real life
