Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights

I’m a bit torn on Ender Lilies, it is harder to shit on an indie title, with the devs not having as many resources to polish each part of their game. I do however feel like with a lot of similar titles, the game drops of in quality after the first third. Technically all the ingredients are the same, in practice a lot less polished and balanced. You can read even on this site how lots of players simply stopped playing at one point.
- At some point I feel like the level design goes by the numbers with just the art changing.
-The difficulty ramps up significantly, regular enemies become just damage sponges. To up your damage you either grind levels, or explore levels to gather upgrade materials. Both require you to face spongy enemies that deal too much damage.
-The new abilities you get after the boss encounters serve as a glorified keys. The abilities are barely utilized in gameplay/combat design, this is why the gameplay remains a bit stale and monotonous
-the boss design is pretty good though, with some usual exceptions (mob boss & one-hit-kill boss) and is the best part of the game
-the spirit system is pretty neat too and gives for a lot of variety in combat. Shame there is no way to respec the upgrades in game (or at least I have not found one)
-I also like the exploration aspect and the map system.

So overall…it’s ok I guess, I got my millage, they can’t all be Super Metroid’s or Hollow Knights.
