thank you weather anouncer man

3:43 wait I never know the thruster is parryable

That's right! I talk about the Lore in V.A Proxy! Check the full video!

I’ve got mixed feelings on this one. On one hand it’s obviously a quality game and a labor of love. I respect the hell out of the dev for kinda doing whatever he’s feeling with every new Momodora. With that said it’s hard not to compare it to Reverie, and Reverie is just such a ten out of ten one of my favorite games of all time. It was one of the first 2d Metroidvanias to include some real Souls DNA, from the grim yet mysterious story, to gameplay and boss fights that heavily rewarded consideration over the spamming of attacks, and it absolutely knocked it out of the park. I don’t think every game needs to ape Dark Souls mind you (in fact I’m increasingly sympathetic to the idea that too many games are apeing the DS series without understanding why souls games do the things they do) but Reverie just absolutely understood it. We had Estus (which allowed us forgiving gameplay without letting us make unlimited mistakes), it left behind the souls retrieval system which bogs down so many Soulslikes that aren’t dark souls, it had weird reoccurring NPCs with cryptic dialogue, it had memorable locations and set pieces… It was just really the perfect attempt. And then Monodora 5! Fun game! But the gameplay seems way too forgiving, it’s very easy to essentially give yourself unlimited heal and just wallop many early bosses without learning their moves, the environments (other than the beautiful starting village) do NOT put their best foot forward in terms of being at all memorable (underground caves are very bland), the story is more direct and I appreciate how it attempts to tie so much together, but I miss a bit of the esoteric weirdness of the last one. Also am I the only one who thinks that Momo controls worse and has less interesting unlocks than Kaho? In summation, love the game, and I’m trying not to let the perfect be the enemy of the good. But it’s hard not to be *puts on sunglasses* “eclipsed” by Revery Under The Moonlight.

Nice vid corthos. V.A Proxy has truly become a hit game now cuz there's now a lore video lol. Also, do ya know where I can listen to the Fifteenth Cycle beta?

Wait a second, Isn't Eri an Extinction-unit? Or was that changed later on?

My favorite part about the dreams is when you wear one of the masks

The combo system is so free and yet in depth

Great game! Challenging but still fair. Please recommend more like this! Thanks for highlighting this one.

Looks neat but the word "Non-linear" makes me less interested, I like games with more structure. Is it non-linear in the way that say, link to the past is where you can sometimes choose which dungeons you want to do first but have to finish a set amount before going to the next area and choosing the new dungeons or is there absolutely no structure like breath of the wild? Link to the past non-linearity to me is fine, breath of the wild non-linearity is broken

There are some performance issues on Switch but I still love it.

Use rockets + laser))

10:58 I totally agree with you here. Instead of a stat based progression system with unlimited inventory space, an item based progression system with limited inventory space would have fit Lunacid much better. Stat progression in roleplaying games is fine, but in a combat-centric game like Lunacid where you find tons of interesting weapons and spells, the RPG stats contribute nothing meaningful to combat outside of character movement and small damage increases to your weapons. On top of that, stat based progression in a combat-centric dungeon crawler often renders loot and rewards utterly useless because you didnt spec points into that item's corresponding stat. These progression systems work in traditional roleplaying games where stats and attributes have far more uses outside of combat, but when these same progression systems are used in a game where there is nothing but combat, the stats feel tacked-on. RPG stats do not necessarily add "depth" or "replayability" to your game, and in almost every case where its just stats/attributes but no class system with unique abilities, strengths and weaknesses to specific classes, you end up a jack-of-all-trades by the end game anyway. If instead of RPG stats you progressed by finding better and more unique weapons, spells and equipment - but you could only hold several weapons and magic rings at a time - you could indeed develop a play style by favoring certain combinations of weapons and spells, as well as adjusting your play style whenever you are rewarded with equipment that grants a unique ability. I say let me be a jack-of-all-trades if I'm going to end up one anyway, just limit my inventory so I have to make choices in what to drop and when - that alone adds far more depth to the game than watching numbers go up.

Dude everything I see about this game has me hyped as FUCK.

Just play the whole Momodora series and like/subscribe while you're at it lol

I also picked a Shinobi and poured stats in only DEX and SPD. Yeah the stat system is a little wonky but it was fun zooming everywhere with high SPD/DEX, not a lot of games let you do that. The weapon stats also need some work. Like that Crossbow and Elven Bow comparison, they should be a big difference between them really. I was also surprised at how bad the gun was when I got it, it's way too inaccurate. The DEX weapons in general were disappointing. I used the Candle for the majority of the game, switching to the power wand to kill resistant enemies. For the lizard boss I just used the fairy(3x) and ice sword summons and spammed him with the candle, probably took like 5 mins for him to die. It felt pretty bad to use magic wands, that a wizard should be using, as a DEX build though lol. Overall it was probably a solid 7/10 game, would have liked to see what they can do with a bigger budget. The world itself was probably the best thing about the game.

1:30 what is the name of this game?

i liked the combat. i didn't like how the game does not communicate with the player so you could easily be stuck with no idea of where to go (also no way to leave the gauntlet if you have no shards, !!!). I didnt find any magic wands or magic items on my playthrough

I own it and am a super jaded 31 yo gamer who must mandate this unofficial hotline miami sequel as a must-play!

I NEED THIS GAMEEEEEEEE

I've almost finished this game. ALMOST because the final boss is a MASSIVE pain in the ass, worse than Valo and THAT one was a bitch to beat until I massively leveled up.

Awesome game, I really enjoyed the soundtrack. And nice video 🙏

Check out the video to know more about Ender Lilies! Liking and subscribing helps a ton too!

Play Indie games? Uh, for your information, most of them suck just as bad.

I like how the weapons have changed in the new demo, but i was totally able to cheese all the fights by parrying my own dive kick to heal, i feel like parries should only heal if the attack was from an enemy

everyone remember that in the demo, THIS GUY LACKS AN ENTIRE ARM AND DOES SHIT LIKE THIS

I'm confused... why do they label it as a metroidvania if it's not? It is lt level to level? Is there a map screen to select levels? It would be nice to know these things. Also, it looks like it's another one of those platformers that are hard the whole way through. Something I've noticed is that the majority of indie platformers are designed by people that have played platformers to death so they design their game for players like them who want every moment to be a challenge instead of a proper difficulty progression. Metroidvanias and "hard" platformers... the indie world is SO oversaturated with them...

Guess i have to buy afterimage now.

Watch the full review Ender Lilies review for more info! :)

How do u do those Vergil style slashes mid air on Judgement? Also nice moves

nice

The sequel is out shortly. You can play it now. It's exactly the same as Lilies, so you'll enjoy it too.

Seems like a very interesting indie game love the artistic style to it I def agree with the dark areas it does seem kinda bland at that and gameplay I would change things here and there but it def seems interesting for sure.

Bro just keep cooler with every minute

hey wait I know this guy

See, parry was garbo.

I really tried incorporate the playthrough commentary in this one. What did you think of it? Too long or too short or just right? Oh and remember to like the video! :)

I didn't really like ender liles because he seemed kind of boring the first time I visited

Theres this red character on the character selection screen it has 19 hours and 26 minutes on it but it has a password whats with that?

I want to parry a nuke tho

Normal game: You can't just purry a nuke! V. A. Proxy: Sword made "swing "swing hehehe
