The road to platinum

2D horizontal scrolling action with no exploration elements. The stages are fixed and simple, with only one path, but you need to go around to clear the boss without taking damage and repair the castle. Your work will be collecting magic stones for castle repairs (10 hours)

Summary

Rookie mode if you want to save time

Damage taken can be reduced by 50%. It does not affect trophies, so turn it on in the settings if you like.

Torokon requires no damage from the boss. There are no invincible moves like Hollow Knight, or mid-battle saves like Dead Cells, so you'll have to rely on yourself to some extent.

My feeling is that people who usually play Metrovania will like it. Those who are not good at action may have a hard time, but it is not unreasonably difficult

Timed element

No

Stage configuration

Proceed through the stages, and if you die, repeat from the base. You can use the points you have accumulated to strengthen the base witch and gradually advance to the depths.

If you make ``Werewolf Hunter'', ``Ogre Peddler'', and ``Devil Druid'' your companions, you will be able to receive reinforcements and items when you depart from the base.

Adventure guide

    The door will open when you defeat all the enemies on the stage

    Collect the strengthening items etc. installed in front of the door

    The caged NPC will give you something if you help it.

    Replenish recovery and items at the shop

    Choose the door to enter based on what you need: gold, items, bones (obtained by disassembling skulls).

    In the early stages, the priority is "Normal Door (Gold) = Green Door (Skull) >>> Treasure Box Door (Item)". In the early stages, it is better to buy items at the store

    Strengthening with Arachne (increasing the skull's rank by exchanging bones) is important, and the aim is to make one skull legendary. 10/30/100 and the number of bones required for strengthening will increase. /p>

    Before you die, you can restart from that room at the end of the app

    When you die, you start from the base. Let's strengthen it with witches and gradually be able to go into the depths

Disassembly of things that cannot be carried

Skull = bone

Essence = magic stone

Item = Gold

The decomposition (destruction) of the essence is difficult to discharge

Recommended skull

Name changes with rank increase

Ninja

Skeleton spear

Skeleton shield

Ninja is my personal favorite. Skill techniques change in the air and are easy to use. No damage was also done mainly by ninja

Door description

There are differences in color and decoration between young trunks

Normal door: Gold

Treasure door: Item

Green door: Skull

Blue door: Shop

Light blue door: Arachne

Purple door: Boss

    The first goal is permanent reinforcement. Use the magic stones (strengthening points) you brought back to increase the attack power of the witch at your base. .jpg" />

    As the number of friends increases at the base, the number of initial items will also increase, making it easier to proceed

    Once you understand the gameplay, keep Arachne in mind and move deeper. Give the bones and they will rank up the skulls, so spend them on the skulls you like. jpg" />

    It's about time to start thinking about building. In terms of trophies, we recommend dash builds of skulls, ``ninja'' and ``skeleton spears'' in ``Pursuit 4'' and ``Flight 4''

    Once you clear the main story, the next step is to fill in all the reinforcements. You don't have to repair the Death Knight until you fill in the reinforcements

    Be conscious of clearing each boss without damage when all reinforcements are filled in.

    Depending on the timing of completing the no-damage clear, collecting magic stones to repair the Death Knight can be quite a task. The next 10,000 is tough...

    It might be faster to collect magic stones by defeating 4-3 Johanna II with a dash build and then finishing by going to "Menu → New Game". The final boss didn't receive a magic stone

    If you have any trophies that you haven't collected yet, let's do it when you collect magic stones. If you want to get into it, it might be a good idea to do it in the "mirror world"

Review

A 2D roguelike action game in which the main character, a skeleton, changes jobs by changing his head.

In terms of action, you fight by switching between two jobs, one special move called Essence, and two skill moves. In terms of build, it is a simple structure that is constructed by selecting 9 items.

The map is fixed, there are few branches depending on the route, and there are no collectible elements, so it can be said that it is an action-oriented work, but the problem is that the story and characters are poorly developed, so you can get bored with just the battles.

Although the system has a relaxing setting called Rookie Mode, it is good that there is no extreme relief. However, the PS4 version's trophies are unbalanced, and it feels like a lot of work. If you can accept that aspect, it's a fun work to play

Battle 81 Refreshing

Story 49 The picture-story show part is tough

Graphic 58 There is a difference in the quality of bosses

System  67 Lack of volume so you get bored quickly

Character 61 The backbone of the characters is weak

Score 63
