    The worst map i have ever seen on a metroidvania.
    Music is repetitive, always kind of the same melody, sound effects are bad too, everything sound so weak and floaty.
    Art is ok, but too dark, everything looks kind of the same.
    Combat is ok and obviously it takes a lot of gameplay things from Hollow Knight

    Ender Lilies is absolutely NOT a 10/10 game.
    There are a few things the game does incredibly well: graphics, music, and the dodge mechanic. The combat is also alright, but it's also its greatest downfall.
    I had such high hopes for this game but in the end, much like what you'll be doing the game's protagonist - a weak af little girl in a white dress - for 60% of the game, it just fell

    I had such high hopes for this game but in the end, much like what you'll be doing the game's protagonist - a weak af little girl in a white dress - for 60% of the game, it just fell flat. I got to the final boss and quit, because I absolutely lost interest.

    The game is one of the most grindy Metroidvanias ever made. But even worse, after you kill thousands of enemies and level up into the 90s, you STILL feel weak. The game gives you absolutely ZERO sense of accomplishment or empowerment. Yes, that's right folks, after 20-25 hours of playing this horrible lesson in frustration, you are still, ultimately, a little 14 year old girl in a white dress.

    I don't think anyone should play this game if they're looking for a good time. If you're looking for punishment, grinding, extremely confusing and boring level design with dark daaaaarrrrrkkkkk areas, a godawful map with no labels or text anywhere on it (they might as well not have given you a map at all), tons of enemies that can destroy you in 1 hit all the way til the end, extremely frustrating bosses that will take you hours of retries, and lore and a story that are just as boring, uninteresting and wretched as everything else in the world, look no further.

    For everyone else, stay far, far away. This is not the kind of game I will be spending my time on ever again. A Hollow Knight predecessor this game is DEFINITELY not. I honestly wish I hadn't even played it.

    Ender Lilies is an emotional sidescroller RPG with a well-told compelling story, beautiful music & art, and solid gameplay. Its hauntingly beautiful style and satisfying world more than makes up for some slight combat blemishes, leaving a lasting impression as one of the most remarkable games of its kind.

    Ender Lilies is one of the best metroidvanias of recent years. What immediately caught my attention was its unusual combat system based on summoning spirits that attack your enemies, but I also enjoyed the dark, oneiric and slightly melancholic atmosphere of this beautiful, varied world. Hunting down bosses, discovering shortcuts, and a checkpoint system that resembles Dark Souls’ bonfires give Ender Lilies a distinct soulslike aftertaste. [09/2021, p.64]

    Ender Lilies is a game that might not have any revolutionary mechanics, but its graphics, music, battles, exploration and worldbuilding all contribute to an experience that has more polish than almost any other game in the action RPG genre. While the leap in difficulty near the end can definitely be overwhelming, the beautiful graphics and stellar presentation provide multiple fantastic moments and heart-pounding fights you won’t forget any time soon.
