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
