Any other game in the last 10 years that can compare to this?

There's a lot of abilities unlocked later through the game, many of which open up previously inaccessible areas. There's the standards like double jump but also a triangle jump, ice pillar (raised platform), projectile teleport etc.

Various items even completely change the gameplay, such as an item which slowly kills you and prevents healing, but increases damage and lifestyle. There's a talent tree as well, so each of the 4 characters have different builds, equating to about 9 different playstyles

>what is rain world

nice to know, I’ll take a look then
thanks user

Just played it for the first time yesterday and finished on beating Hornet. Shit is great. I love how during the fight with her it seemed like she was teasing you and really having fun fighting you. I'm still kind of shitting pants over what will happen if I lose my soul.

The art is beautiful.

Looks like a fucking flash game.

Valdis has the best combat in a metroidvania imo.

if you lose your soul you get locked out of the good ending

solid game but way too much backtracking and the simplistic combat made it kind of forgettable, literally in the sense that as the story was progressing i was forgetting what the fuck was going on. also trying to 100% the game damn near ruined my whole experience. searching for the mushroom guy really made me hate this game. but that's my autism trying to go for the 100%, so i can't fault the game for that

>100%

to 100% this game you'd have to beat the 5 Pantheon's, with the 5th being so hard its a fucking joke, at least if you are fully shackled.

this games combat isn't THAT indepth for it to have such a difficulty curve, give me more options and moves first.

So fucking good
One of the few games I've beaten 3 times start to finish.
