TEVI

yeah the reviews were right. the game DOES become 10x better when you unlock airdash holy ♥♥♥♥

As someone who really enjoyed the ENDER duology of Metroidvanias (also highly recommended!) and was looking for a similar experience, TEVI caught my eye with it's cute designs and charming pixel-art style! Having just completed the main story and beginning the DLC soon, I've got to say I loved this game. It's art and music paired super well together, not to mention full-voice acting throughout! Very good performances (especially late game) that had me feeling the emotion in my chest. The story itself I thought was very good as well. The worldbuilding of Az was natural as the game progressed, though I must note that if you really want to immerse yourself in the world then you'll have to do a bit of reading in the journal... The gameplay was absolutely addictive as well. Exploration is super smooth with the versatility and mobility Tevi gets throughout the game, and each new movement item encouraged me to sweep back through previous areas for formerly inaccessible goodies without feeling like a chore. The combat was spectacular, with impressive visuals and combos that make you *feel* strong. My only nitpick is that Tevi's hitbox is NOT as big as her actual sprite, so dodging so…

Tevi is excellent, and a great successor to Rabi-Ribi. Rabi-Ribi was already a very good game, but Tevi refines what made it so good. Tevi's combat moveset is very dynamic. There's a lot of emphasis on keeping high combos with the sigil system, and it feeds into a nice loop with the combat. It felt like a lot of thought went into how the systems were designed to interact with each other. The bosses are very creative, many of them have creative gimmicks to change how you approach them without completely throwing away what you've learned. The bullet patterns are generally very readable, and the fights felt well-paced, never outstaying their welcome. A standout fight was [spoiler] the Vassago fight[/spoiler], he felt very frenetic and even though I died several times, he was a good challenge and was almost strategic to fight as I began to recognize how his moveset changed between phases. That said, I would have liked it if there was an indicator that a boss room was up ahead. I often depleted my healing items during the last one and didn't bother to resupply until I was just before a boss, but it can be hard to tell how close you are to one. Luckily the game autosaves just before so …

yeap its peaky kino etc etc. maybe some of the best boss fights literally ever and the map rocks too good goog game

Game is long, lots to collect. Starts off with horny anime story but eventually buckles down. Has a backwards difficulty curve where it's tougher at the beginning but then you pick up a million different doo-dads and ways to do damage and heal so that the end is no problem. All the different badges are cool though. Soft recommend from me.

Im not really into games like these but i found the mechanics pretty interesting. The art is really cool and is just an all around good experience. definitely play on the harder difficulty for more fun.
