Um bom metroidvania para iniciantes. O combate é simples mais gostoso e o sistema de parry é muito op quando você o domina.

O jogo tem uma arte linda que junto com a trilha sonora causam uma ótima ambientação. Meu único problema pessoal com o jogo, foi a falta de fast travel e não ter marcação no mapa, o que me deixava perdido as vezes, mas nada que incomodava demais.

No fim, como alguém que começou a jogar recentemente e esse sendo o segundo metroidvania que já joguei, posso dizer que me divertir muito com o jogo.

Great game, it's a lot like its predecessors. Parrying feels great if not too overpowered, and combat is overall improved from reverie mostly. A few nitpicks about the combat though, sometimes I would hit a parry and still take damage. For how responsive you are, the enemies are not as responsive. This leads to bosses kinda feeling underwhelming because you can schmove all over them. Some passive abilities you pick up are TERRIBLE. Like absolute dog shit. Some do things like reduce damage by 4%. 4!? What in the fuck is 4% reduced damage gonna do? One ability gives your melee attacks a projectile but if you use it with the mace weapon, it just doesn't work. The art is also a downgrade, not to say that this couldn't have worked, but it looks pretty terrible up close. The game also has a nauseating habit of zooming in and out way too often. Reverie looks so good because the animations are so smooth and fluid but here, they aren't really fluid at all, in fact they're pretty choppy. My last complaint is the music. It's so abrasive and loud, also it's not really balanced right. Like some areas music is way louder than others. I turned it down to 60% and the rest of the audio settings were at 100%. Otherwise though, this is a relatively same experience as reverie. I wish reverie had the number of enemies this game did but otherwise, I would choose reverie. Still a solid time though, with more dialogue and more story focus. Not too much though. Try it out, it's good.

Pequeno demais, mas, divertido

Short and sweet. A good Sunday afternoon game. Tight controls, engaging combat, and the story ends up being quite touching for all of its brevity, with a healthy dose of darkness and moral ambiguity under the hood. I miss the pixel art and more expansive world of Reverie Under the Moonlight but this definitely warrants a playthrough or two.

went for a second 100%, this time getting all the nohits on the base file instead of just equipping the frailty incense on ng+
i think this games main issue is that it wants to pretend to be a soulsvania when in reality its a 2d hack n slash. just by merely going about my day, i was hitting some absolutely disgusting combos. you are an unstoppable vortex, a flowing river that sucks enemies in and leaves them in tatters. you will get absolutely destroyed by the dinkiest attacks, and it is wholly deserved. once you truly get into the games flow, getting hit is a mark of shame.
another thing that bothers me is how completely useless the air dash is. the double jump is so absolutely insane that with the brunhilde/fennel sword you can hit every single airdash jump without it.
i appreciate rdein trying to tell a story thats a bit more complex but having both endings kinda suck and the one thats implied to be the worse ending being actually better is kinda stupid. silver coins are an absolute bitch to get btw.

i hope if bombservice ever makes another game similar to this, there'll be a combo counter or something. i think this game would be a lot better if it really clung to the offensive combat. idk if i can recommend this game, but i think its worth a try for the $8 it goes on sale for or the humble bundle i double dipped for this on. just be warned that before you really get into the games flow (should start hitting right before you get to the second boss) you will get absolutely rekt
