I just picked up this game last night. Its right in my wheelhouse. I love metroidvania games like this. I just beat Big Venom so I am not too far.. my only real complaint is that some abilities are tied to boots.. I wish there was a way to hot swap them without loading menus.
I didn't know about this series until I got a PC Engine in 2009 or so. Confusing naming conventions aside I instantly fell in love with it. The exploration definitely doesn't go as far as as most MetroidVania-style games but that made it approachable for a newcomer to the genre and it makes the games easier to pick up casually. The audio and visual styles of the series definitely gives it a charm that can do a lot of heavy lifting for people used to deeper exploration and more challenging combat.
I agree. He doesn't hold you up, in order to watch the whole video. According to this genre, you want to know if the 2D-game, at least looks somewhat good. So he starts with the graphics. So I agree, great review, and maybe i subscribe to his channel.
The game gets pretty tough. The first few hours are a pleasant showcase of the devs skills. After unlocking the tower it gets way more challenging.
