[@superstatus2640]

Do u know how this game's difficulty compares to that of Blasphemous?

[@karmicbacklash]

Yeah, Blasphemous is definitely a fair bit harder. Mainly because Ender Lilies is super forgiving and has no real penalties for death.

[@davidvila5053]

@@superstatus2640 EL is more accessible. No penalty on death, balanced enemies in general and easier platforming. In my opinion platforming in Blasphemous was rather frustrating and that's a downside for me but not for everyone obviously.

[@superstatus2640]

@@davidvila5053 honestly if it wasn't for the no penalty on death id say EL was more difficult.

To be honest I don't mind this game being easy or having repetitive combat. The atmosphere, graphics and soundtrack make it all for me. Just want to play some dark metroidvania while chilling and this is perfect. Gonna be probably shorter compared to HK that's for sure, but if it offers at least 10-15h I'd say it's already worth. Off topic: this can be kinda related to films also. Many people expect any terror film to really scary them so hard no matter what (on this case people expect hard or souls like games) and if the film don't achieve this (most of them don't) they rate the film so poorly. Thing is maybe you will enjoy more some of those films if you watch them trying to live a good atmosphere instead and that's it. It's also easier if you like the theme sure. I take Lilies like this.

You really should mention how this is entirely based off of the early segments. You're setting for a damn full game review while only covering the sections in early access. Much of the gameplay issues are not true anymore, all the clumsiness that exists only lasts as long as the early segments of the game. Ive cleared 112% hollow knight and after nearing the end of Ender Lilies can verify personally it's just as (if not sometimes more) challenging, particularly with the way jump movement comboes with spirits to allow truly stellar traversal and skipping of areas not initially available.

From what I understood, the combat is smooth, albeit a bit too simple and easy. And every other aspect of the game is great. (So... Probably a more casual game you get into for the exploration and atmosphere rather than the high level of challenge and mechanical complexity. Which is very unusual for a Souls-inspired game, but not necessarily bad.) The user reviews for the Steam Early Access are also overwhelmingly positive, so I had my eyes on this game for a while. Altough, yeah, I must admit I was expecting a slightly lower score. (Around 8 or 8.5, to be exact)

Good review. Just started the game yesterday, and so far, I agree with your score. But I disagree on it being a 2d souls-like. It has some souls element (especially in its narrative, ambiance, and the big emphasis on positioning/dodge), but it is much more of a simplified metroidvania in its gameplay than a souls-like in my opinion. Also agree with your impression: the combat is relatively simple (even through some boss WILL pose some difficulties to people not familiar with the metroidvania genre, through less than a bloodstained for example), but the combat is also obviously not the main selling point of the game. The ambiance and the soundtrack (which is REALLY good, with some clear Nier inspiration) are the main point, and in that regard, Ender lilies is absolutely fantastic.

It sounds like you only played a few hours of this game because "unchallenging" is not how I would describe this game at all. I've been playing Souls games since 2010, metroidvanias most of my life, and the modern combos with every major release and this game is definitely in the upper tier of difficulty. Midgame bosses and areas are drastically more challenging than hollow knight and id say salt and sanc as well. I just beat the 5th boss and some of his attacks did over half my health bar and you only have 3 heals for most of the game. The area before the boss is also one of the only sections of a game I have outright given up on for a month or two before coming back to try again. It's probably easier if you explore every nook and cranny for max health upgrades but to say this is easy along the lines of, say, Ori 1 is just incorrect.

In my experience, metroidvania games tend to limit the player action in the beginning and it's only going to ramp up.

People dont know what souls-like is.

[@paragonwill]

Now days people are like "yo you can die more than 3 three times doing something in this game. It's so much like dark souls"

[@milkweedreflections]

This game ain't easy at all. What are you smoking?

Tbh I was out at souls like! Sorry

[@NoisyPixelNews]

Haha no worries

[@CompleteProducer84]

If you like Metroidvanias, take “Soulslike” with a grain of salt. 2 of the biggest features of the Souls series are the stamina bar, and losing your souls when you die. Ender Lillies has no stamina bar and no penalty for death (in fact, all EXP gained and item collection progress is permanent, even if you didn’t find a save point before dying) While the darker tone and dodge mechanic fit into the Soulslike genre, the game is much more just a standard 2D Metroidvania with some Souls elements

@@CompleteProducer84 at this point if im not playing castlevania or metroid i dont want to play a metroidvania the market is ridiculously oversaturated! Between that and hardcore retro bit platformers its way too much.

[@axelatticus2642]

I think game length should be mentioned in the review as it's an important factor to the overall value.

[@NoisyPixelNews]

That’s a good stance to have and you can make that a rule on your review channel. I’ll ask the reviewer how long it took them.- Azario

Exactly haha

[@SerfsUp1848]

Lol yah wtf? Its a metroidvania not a souls like. No combos and shit involved lol

[@coda821]

Sounds like it's for beginners.

[@davidvila5053]

Not really. As many already said, the difficulty increases the more you progress. I'd also say it reaches at least HK difficulty. Some bosses offer a challenge. On the other hand the platforming difficulty it's very easy and simple but to be honest I prefer it like this over for example Blasphemous platforming which is rather annoying. At this point everyone saying this game is so easy is based probably on the first zones/bosses of the game. It's not a dark souls difficulty that's for sure, but again, it offers a fair challenge in general. Not so easy, not that hard.

[@coda821]

@@davidvila5053 Sounds good. So beginners can get up to speed on it. Good introductory game. I'll keep it in mind for suggestions.

[@jonf5975]

ah man, 2d soulsike.. almost as oversaturated as survival/crafting games at this point

[@NoisyPixelNews]

Lol yea kinda

[@matthewharris9008]

Not sure how you came to that conclusion, there are hundreds of survival/crafting games. Im having a hard time thinking of more than 10-12 2d souls like games. Ender Lillies, Deaths Gambit, Blasphemous, S&S, Dark Devotion, Vigil, Momodora (not really soulslike), Hollow Knight (Not really soulslike), Titan Souls, Hyper Light Drifter (Not really souls like), Skautfold Usurper, Immortal Planet, Fallen Angel, etc.

[@CompleteProducer84]

I wouldn’t really even call this a 2D Soulslike. There is no penalty for death and no stamina bar. Those are 2 of the most defining aspects of the souls-like genre. It does have character leveling, but that is more of a general RPG element than souls like in particular

[@Kensterrrrr]

Tired of these clone dark souls style metroidvania games.

[@andyo4797]

It’s not a soulslike game
