Now playing: Ender Lilies

I’m back from my Metroidvania hiatus and my latest obsession is the first Ender Lilies game.

It’s giving big Castlevania: Rondo of Blood Maria vibes:

I love a good gothic sidescroller. Especially with a hardass female lead. It’s just as punishing as any Castlevania I’ve ever played, but a little more forgiving than either of the Blasphemous games. Really hits that sweet spot between fun and infuriatingly challenging for a ‘vania.
