A Metroidvania Where You Explore Floating Islands | Vernal Edge Demo
1Hello everyone! More gameplays of the demos from the Steam Next Festival and this is Vernal Edge. A 2D action Metroidavania where you are exploring different floating islands in search of your father. The interesting part is that each island is like a different metroidvania level, but I still don't know if I will need skills on future islands and then come back to a previous island. The action is pretty interesting at first, but very repetitive after a few fights. Maybe I should have used my skills more? But they waste too much mana, so I couldn't use them that much. For me it feels it was only a thing of time and patience, because the enemies can take way too many hits before dying. And making that most of the fights are "you enter an area, exits are closed, waves of enemies with plenty hp" with not a lot of enemy variety, it made it pretty monotonous to me.
The big question here is... HOW DO I HEAL? I don't know if I missunderstood something, but I just didn't find a way to do it nor found a key on the settings for that action... So...? No idea, not even after rewatching and editing. I would really appreciate if someone clarifies that for me.
I also didn't understand the use of many items I found (same with money... maybe they are for later in the demo?).
The pixel art is pretty and the music... I can't say a lot because I could barely hear it. I actually turned it up a lot while editing. I couldn't do it more, because otherwise the hits were going to sound too loud.
