Twilight Monk

Lots of fun! Seems like half the bad reviews have to do with losing progress to the last save point if you die. I am playing on hard, there are plenty of save points, and it has not been an issue for me. Also, not everyone is a fan of the Zelda II format. If neither of those bother you and it looks like something you will be interested in then I would check it out. It surprised me and I am enjoying it more than anticipated.

A rat with a fancy hat alternately whispers and heartedly yells "salutations" as you enter a certain shop in town. Easily one of my favorite NPC characters. Overall, the game is fun to play, looks good, and has an easy to follow story. The combat is a little too simple and the world lacks enough enemy variety, but the game is short and sweet, so I didn't mind.

Very good metroidvania. The only strange thing is that the game is a sequel to a comic, so some dialogue refers to things you don’t know. But gameplay-wise, it’s very solid: good combat, good exploration, and a helpful feature for 100% completion. Overall, only good things to say.

美术，手感尚可，战斗系统一塌糊涂，没吊用的收集品，强制刷怪解锁符文槽位，弱智没交互的boss。 4/10

A fun little Metroidvania. Combat is basic but serviceable. Definitely not the hardest game if you're even a bit experienced at platformers

Из 37 пройденных метроидваний только одна была хуже этой.

Pros: 1. Responsive controls. Although bosses are so-so even for a hard mode. 2. Fresh and new look for a metroidvania for me. Anime-style. 3. Story is good. 4. When you die, you will really restart from your last save. All progress prior dying will be gone. 5. Enjoyable and grinding for monster hunt and collectibles are not so time consuming. Cons: 1. Only one type of base attack. No combo. Although there are many ember-based attacks to choose from. 2. Final boss is the easiest boss. LOL! I chose hard mode on first playthrough and it's easy to beat. 3. No New Game+ so if like me, you 100% it on first playthrough, you can uninstall immediately. Overall: It's fun, not stressful. Highly recommended.
