This game is just Symphony of the Night but you play as a woman, ew!

Record of Lodoss War: Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth is a Metroidvania, actually, it's more than that it's a Symphony of the Night-inspired game. You might say that these two mean the same thing but not all metroidvania plays like Symphony of the Night, like their previous game for example, Touhou Luna Nights. This game doesn't play or look anything like Symphony of the Night while Wonder Labyrinth actually takes many cues from SOTN like the same type of melee weapon, similar art style, similar walk animations, similar enemies, and this isn't a complaint by any means I actually support games taking cues from other, why bother being original when you can just improve on past works.

Other than that I have no complaints about the game, it's just a really well-made Metroidvania game that may be a bit short but it is always often to be expected with this type of game.
Should you play it? It's definitely a must-play and a hidden gem, I never hear many people talk about this game as much as Luna Nights.
