While we wait for Hollow Knight: Silksong, perhaps some of you missed Ender Lilies? Sorry it’s taken a while I have been chipping away at it for a few weeks! Let me know if you like the look of this one! Mark
The tone reminds me of order of ecclesia, the last DS Castlevania. Looks really cool, gonna have to check this one out, thanks for the highlight
I did find myself comparing the mapping system to Hollow Knight and Ori. I think they could have done something a little better than what they went with. It reminds me of the outlining mechanisms from the days of my programming and network security classes rather than a world map. I still think the game is worth it though.
Another Metroidvania? Well at least the art style is lovely!
@@tywolfcry we saw it :) - You're welcome! Mark
@@sevensyns7732 when I saw an image of the mapping system pop up, my face scrunched all the way up
The world is depressing, suffocating and overwhelmingly beautiful. Each stories of the main spirits are well written and realistically human. The endings are top notch too.
I genuinely hope that this game got enough positive reception for the devs to consider making a sequel or a similar game of sorts. Definitely one of the recent metroidvanias that stands among memorable titles like Blasphemous, or Bloodstained.
It's getting great reviews on Steam.
I still need to finish blasphemous, I got annoyed with bloodstained at a certain point and gave up
@@TROBassGuitar did you get around to finishing Blasphemous? Now is a great time as they just dropped their last update and it added even more awesome bosses and whatnot to find.
@@kirkenstiensmonster6522 I actually did the final boss my second time to get the true ending now started the ascended playthrough
@@kirkenstiensmonster6522 I forgot to mention I literally did it a few hours before you posted that, funny coincidence
Great review, reminds me of a cross between child of light with a aesthetic of salt and sanctuary and art style of odins sphere. Im a sucker for hand drawn fantasy art. It doesnt feel as accomplished as a legendary vanillaware game, but it looks really decent still and will be picking this up.
Yeah I've thoroughly enjoyed it. I imagine the sequel will be 90+ . Mark
Salt is one ofy favorite games ever. This looks like a mix of that and hk
I ADORED Child of Light. Not nearly enough people talk about it. It's one I'm proud to own physically, but I do wish it had got a stand-alone release instead of being packaged with Valiant Hearts. It would have made a decent display piece.
I couldn’t have said it any better. I have to check out odins sphere tho. I havent heard of that one.
Just finished it 5 mins ago. All endings. It was great! I would've loved it if maybe there was more audio or talking dialogs, but so far I really enjoyed it!
Sounds like we agree on it! Mark
You actually reviewed it, I was worried you would pass up this gem, already 100 percented this, amazing
Looking forward to a sequel now! Mark
Took me four hours to get into this game - thought it was well boring in the beginning, but as the difficulty ramps up and you gain more weapons and such - it becomes ace. Love it now (12 hours in). Must buy for metroidvania-fans.
after finishing it do you still recommend pushing through the first hours?
I already purchased and just started playing this weekend. Glad to see the good review. The music, and the visuals are sublime. So good so far.
Great audio for sure! Mark
I could tell what you felt for this game, Mark, cos you were using your "In love" voice 😄
I was searching for reviews of the Switch version of this yesterday, and lo and behold today you upload one. Thanks.
Yeeeessss been waiting for you guys to review this. Missed out on the discount pre launch but will be picking this up after your review!!!
This game is amazing!
Truly the Dark Souls of little girl simulators.
Lol winner! Haha! Mark
how are the load times?
@@salmark9080
I'm playing on pc, on an ssd. Loadtimes are near instantaneous.
Cant speak for the console versions, but the game seems pretty lightweight to me
@@TheAquarius87 ya i want to get it on switch tho to play a work
@@salmark9080 loading time on ps4 are also nearly nonexistent
I was hoping you were going to review this I saw it the other day and thought it looked beautiful ! Definitely be picking this one up thanks for the review guys for helping make my mind up
Thank you! O hadn't heard of this one, but it looks amazing! Thank you for bringing this one too my attention. I will definitely be picking this one up. Please keep up all of the wonderful work!
This is right at the top of my must have list. Looks amazing and metroidvania style games are my jam so I’m looking forward to this one. Thanks for the great review.
I was hoping you would review this! Looks lovely.
I’ve been waiting on this one, thanks for the review!
Wow, I wasn't expecting much from this one when I first heard of it, but seeing the gameplay now I have to admit the atmosphere is intriguing and the art looks fantastic. Thanks for the review!
Glad you guys reviewed this one. I heard so many good things, spontaneously bought it a bit ago. Haven't played it yet, but hearing yall like it makes me more excited to get to this game. Thanks guys
Definitely excited about this one! Love the art style- my sense is that it has that warm vs cool palette that you see in movies like Minority Report where it’s almost like a black and white movie but they used orange and blue for emphasis vs background. The way Ender Lillies uses red, purple, and blue sets up a lot of depth.
Not long ago i was trying to describe the same look. I think its desaturated, in terms of photo editing. Just a notch or two away from total b & w. Its a unique look that im surprised has been used a little more. I can see why it might be passed over for an entire games look but it could be used for one world or area. It would be neat to progress through an area and more color comes into it as you do. I actually really like that idea. Hell you could make it fit into part of the story.
That little dive is amazing and I find it the most adorable thing ever! I'm gonna have to pick this up after I get my Switch & Dread.
I have been waiting for the push to get this game, and I believe this video was the deciding factor for me! Wonderful review, I am definitely picking this up sometime!!!
Just purchased! Thanks for the review!
Crazy I remember first following this channel when it had about 60k subscribers and here you pat a quarter million. Awesome job!!
The art style is absolutely beautiful. I've never heard of this game until recently. I'm definitely checking it out. Thanks for the great review
I was on the fence with this one needed the info that you guys just provided. Going to download it now thanks for that. C ya!
Great review, thanks! This wasn’t on my radar and while I should wait before adding anything to my backlog…I’m happy to support the devs with an early purchase. Cheers!!
So happy you reviewed this game! I recently finished it, got the true ending. I loved almost every second I spent with it so much. Definitely one of my favorites of the year. It doesn't do anything revolutionary, but what it does it does it very well. I was hooked on it for a few days, getting blown away by the art style and the music. I hope we see a sequel (or a prequel??) to this gem.
Really enjoying this one, even though it's quite challenging. Definitely good value, I tend to consider my rest time to be at least twice as valuable as my work time. As long as a game entertains me for double the length of time it took me to earn the money to buy it, I consider us square. That's also why my stingy employers will NEVER get me to work any overtime 😆
Haha I like this thinking! Mark
I also like the way you think. I will use it from now on, before I buy a game. 😄👍👊
I was waiting for your review. Thanks.
I really did expect a high score for this game. It looks so beautiful and I'm intrigued to play it at some point
This is one I’ve been waiting for y’all to review, I love the amount of Metroidvania and dark souls type games that the switch has. I just picked up Morbid the second acolytes yesterday and it’s great!
I actually didn’t like morbid
@@Maikeru101 it’s definitely not for everyone I can understand that
I love that game I was waiting on it since it got announced last summer picked up day 1 it amazing I can't wait to do more playthroughs
@@devonjames7999 i just picked it up two days ago, it was on sale for 12.49 cents!
@@TheRealAero all the weapons are really cool I mainly stuck with the great sword and the trident the (trident is so cool!) I'm gonna do multiple playthroughs just because the weapons are so fun and the characters models for each acolyte is so cool and unique!
This looks very interesting, and I love that song that was playing over the credits of this video (that was from the game, right?) Definitely going on my wishlist.
This will scratch my itch while waiting for Salt and Sacrifice. Looks beautiful.
Assuming it's coming to the switch... and if it is, will it be day & date with the console versions?? I certainly hope the answer is yes to at least one of the above questions.
@@sofaking1180 considering Salt and Sanctuary took around 2 years to get ported on the Switch from it's original release, Salt and Sacrifice will not be available on the Switch for a while. As for performance and visuals, i don't think it would be too taxing on the Switch. Maybe some shaders will be skipped, and some textures will be lowered in quality.
All we can really do is wait and hope. 😁
Mark. I loved the music and artwork before you even got into the review. This game is a must buy for me that I would have missed. Thanks.
Looks like another excellent addition to the amazing Switch metroidvania library! Awesome review, I will be picking this one up
Yessss! Ive been waiting for this review! 😋
awesome review and video guys! thanks!
Nice review. Def planning on picking this up but I’m going to wait for a sale since I have a few games in my backlog I need to get through.
I am in awe at how amazing the musical score and the visuals are. Was playing this while watching Indiemaus play through this game and I am excited to be punished by the damn game.
Heheh yeah it has a lovely soundtrack! Mark
Thank God, been waiting for this review!
"No silly faces in thumbnails" thank fuck. Doing great work boys!
Thank you for the detailed review.
Thanks for this video. I now will consider getting this on one of my systems.
Thank you. Bought it. Can't wait to get into it.
Great review! Just got this game. Hoping for a physical release via Limites Run or whoever.
The gameplay and art style is drawing me in like crazy. Wishlisting this one for sure
Such a solid review as well. I’m happy someone else is enjoying this game so much. It really gives hollow knight mixed with bloodborne vibes (a music box is even an item). Thanks for always releasing quality reviews!
Try salt and sanctuary
Nice. Thank you for this review.
Thanks for the review. Just added to the library
That notification noise in the background at 5:43 caught me out! :D
Already got it. Love it. May stream it on twitch too. It’s beautiful so far.
About time! So glad you guys finally reviewed it. A balanced assessment as usual.
Cheers mate - yeah it has been quite busy so been chipping away at it in the background. Mark
Thanks for the review. Love the atmosphere the game appears to present.
As an unlimited physical verison, I will buy this immediately. Hopefully it will sell well enough to make that possible.
Hey, cheers for the heads up...
Having now recovered from Ori and the will.. I feel I'm now ready to enter another heartbreaking metroidvania relationship
What a beautiful game, I'll be waiting until it appears in one of your sales videos ;)
How I missed this review is a mystery to me but thankfully today I founded it out, this game looks amazing
A solid backlog booster. I'm interested.
"Aah... Goberin Srayer..."
Been waiting for this then gave up hope and forgot. Nice surprise!
I was waiting for your review on this so happy it’s scored well. I’m sure you got a bit discount if you pre ordered it but the price seems reasonable to me, there will be a sale on it soon enough. Hopefully they bring an update out where she doesn’t trip over and knocks a flip out for your dodge 😂😂😂
uploaded 18 seconds ago, I am SONIC
Super fast! Mark
Haven’t seen review yet but… got this two days ago and been loving it! Anyone who likes hollow knight will enjoy it, guaranteed.
Nice i was exited to see review for this here im going to play it after i finish my 3-5-7 game i just start anyway thanks for the review 😆😁
I have been eyeing this one since I first saw this on a Nintendo Direct so thank you for making this great review! As a fan of Hollow Knight, I will definitely will be picking this up whilst waiting for Silksong!
Btw, I too found BOTW a bit too quiet so I’m glad that I’m not the only one 😂 I’m the type that can be heavily influenced by music so I love games that have good scores.
Great review. This look amazing
I thought the game looked beautiful. I agree with the controls feeling tight.
I'm very happy with it. I thought the baseball diving slide looked odd too. I,
would guess they went that way instead of a standard feet first slide because
if we're sticking with realism her dress would slide up if she went feet first.
then they'd have to animate her fixing her dress each time or say "magic"
keeps it from sliding up .
So happy I found this channel.
Great review.... Looked really good before this review and I planned to eventually get it. But this makes it even easier to buy it. Definitely will enjoy this game one day!
Thank you for bringing this game to my attention. Right now my stack is full for the next couple of months Ghost of Tsushima (currently playing), Ys IX: Monstrum Nox, No More Heroes III, Metroid Dread, Monster Sanctuary and so on but I REALLY want to play this game. Looks like the anime Angel's Egg meets a Metroid.
Never even heard of this. Great review!
Beautiful review. Subbed!
Thanks Kent! Mark
Low key curios on how that audio “vanished” lol. Great review though will probably be waiting for a sale. Cheers
I loved this game. Finished my playthrough last week. A+
I was hooked the moment I heard the music on the first level and I can't stop playing. I already love Metroidvania games and this one is very very good! Don't sleep on this one guys.
This will definitely be a pick up for me. Another game I’m excited for is Crowsworn, it met its funding goal on kickstarter in just a couple of hours yesterday
I was hoping yall would get to this one. It deserves so much more attention than it's getting so far. Beautiful game with depth and enjoyment. Must play game for sure.
I will be picking this one up, but I'm waiting to see if there will be a physical retail release.
Bought this and watched the review to make sure I made the right decision. Pumped for this now.
Thanks for the review boys! I will definitely get this game later. 😋
Thanks, I picked it up just now!
Let me know how you get on mate! Mark
I was waiting for this review as I was concerned about performance. I prefer getting these games on Switch. Thank you - I'll be picking this up!
I was about to buy the game wen it released, but I was waiting this review first! 😄
I love this game. It's definitely high on my list of best Metroidvanias.
I’m a sucker for Metroidvanias and this looks awesome! Money is a bit tight for me at the moment, but I’m definitely snagging this one either after I get Bloodstained or when it goes on sale
Dude, the way that she sends the spirits out to fight for her makes me think of one game and one game only...
FOLKLORE ON PLAYSTATION 3!!
🤩🤩🤩🤩
I've been considering this one for a while. It looks absolutely gorgeous, but I was unsure about the actual gameplay. Glad to hear it's pretty good!
Incidentally, I don't know if it's intentional but it's super reminiscent of (a dark version of) Child of Light for me. Maybe it's the floatiness, but also something about the way the backgrounds look.
Definitely some similarities there for sure! Mark
It reminds me of Child of Light, which I loved, although the battle system for CoL was different.
In love with this game after this review I grabbed it and love it
My hubby bought this game and he loves it and agrees with your rating. He got the game before this review btw. Keep up the good work.
Wow looks fun, first time I'm actually interested to play a metroidvania
I so hope a lot of ppl get into this so we can get more
I love how many people get such a different vibe from this game. Has a great mix of Salt and Sanctuary, Timespinner, and Vigil to me.
Thank you. You made me a believer.
Watching this review I had flashbacks from Child of Light (my favourite game btw) so I definitely have to buy this!!*_*
Gonna wait and hope for a physical launch. Game has my interest.
Another overlooked metroidvania you could check out in the meantime would be Vigil the Longest Night
this has been my 2021 game of the year so far.
I was pleased that for once there wasn’t anything I wanted in your eshop sakes video. What a win for my wallet. And then I see this video and another $25 disappears from my bank account.
SwitchUp is the only channel that regularly manages to find things I want to buy. Your recommendations are solid.
Thanks for all of your hard work.
i bought it yesterday after beating grime on the PC...i was kinda worried when you said it's kind of short in the beginning but 20 hours is totally ok for a good metroidvania imo
