There are scenes with some fantastic backdrops, and all of the art is so pretty, I just wish I could have looked at more of it without seeing four copy-pasted bad guys obscuring the view. I would have loved to explore some new places without fighting the same enemies with the same attacks again and again. The hits, by the way, that I was landing on the same wizard and skeleton enemies that I had been fighting for a while.

MeaningвЂ¦I did slightly more damage on each hit. The most useful ability I found was about 3/4 of the way through, and it added a fire modifier to my attacks. Turns out, the game just decides toвЂ¦not really go anywhere at all after the first handful of areas.ДЄfter the midpoint, enemy variety rarely changes, nor do your skills in the button-mashy combat. ThereвЂ™s tons of cool little details and a lot of personality tucked into Momodora, and I couldnвЂ™t wait to see if this was the next Castle in the Darkness, instant classic, Metroidvania thing. I walked through a jail and tried to rescue a prisoner, but saving him wasnвЂ™t as easy as I expected. I sliced up a giant blue witch who got very angry and I rolled away right before she squished me.

I fought a creepy monster thing in a sewer to upgrade my ranged attack. It was great, and it seemed like it had nowhere to go but up. I was rolling and dodging cool enemy attacks, fighting bosses, meeting NPCs, shopping for upgrades, unlocking shortcuts back to my safe zones. Pretty soon, though, you enter a spooky castle town and the real game beginsвЂ¦for a while.ДЄfter reaching the gameвЂ™s second major area, Karst City, I was smitten. The first 30 minutes didnвЂ™t do a ton for me, but the character animations and general feel let me know that there was some care behind this, so I forged ahead without having a clue what to expect. Momodora IV doesnвЂ™t put its best foot forward, as it launches you straight into some forgettable enemy encounters in a forest with little atmosphere to speak of. Momodora IV, we know where your influences lie. YouвЂ™re told that healing at certain safe areas in the map will recover your health and mark a checkpoint, as well as refill your limited supply of healing Estus FlaвЂ¦вЂќBellflowers.вЂќ A title card pops up, revealing the name of the mysterious area youвЂ™re in, right before you run into a lonely NPC who spouts short bits of dialogue. You start with a dodge roll, in which youвЂ™re invincible.

This is the fourth game in a series of 2D adventures that I hadnвЂ™t even heard of until now, and this one makes me want to see what the rest of the series is all about.

Momodora: Rememberings of the Forgotten Cold Sky or whatever itвЂ™s called ( MOMODORA: REVERIE UNDER THE MOONLIGHT) is a Good Game. This is a Vania riff first and foremost, but the Souls influences are obvious. Okay, so itвЂ™s more like if one of the Gameboy Advance CastlevaniaвЂ™s had a handful of Dark Souls elements sprinkled on top.
