Endless Memories Switch NSP Free Download Romslab If there’s one thing that never ceases to bring a smile to my face, it’s a successful Kickstarter. Especially when that Kickstarter is for an exciting indie game thought up by a talented small team. And given that Endless Memories managed to raise over ,000 and is developed by just two people, I think it qualifies. To add to my excitement Endless Memories is a combat-oriented Metroidvania. Given my past experiences playing the likes of Valdis Story and Hollow Knight, I was more than up for this. And even though there are some hurdles to overcome, Homunculus Games’ first release does not disappoint. ROMSLAB.COM Best Switch Games

Outside of the occasional platforming segment, most of the challenge in Endless Memories derives from its combat. Your choice of weapon plays a bit part in how you approach each battle. Although there are options to improve your equipment, most of the time you’re going to want to find a shiny new weapon instead. Weapon drops can be acquired in a handful of different ways. Defeated enemies can drop them, they can be found in hidden chests, or you can come across traders who’ll sell weapons for a price. There are a ton of different weapon types that all have their respective pros and cons. This varies from heavy two-handed melee weapons to lighter options like bows and daggers.

This allows you to fine-tune your play style for power or precision.Where the combat falls apart is with the enemy AI. This isn’t as much of a problem with regular enemies as it is with the bosses. Even on normal mode I was able to walk right into almost every boss’ face and smash my attack button until they were dead, taking whatever damage they dealt to me with little worry of depleting my entire health bar. Part of my ease in this regard was due to pure luck which I’ll talk about later, but even with that taken into account I wasn’t given much incentive to use my tools in a more interesting way. When enemies are actually a threat, that threat feels slightly unfair. Asphalt 9: Legends Switch NSP

Some regular enemies can freeze or stun you, and rather than mixing up their attacks to make that stun an integral part of a fun pattern, they’re perfectly okay just spamming their stun attack and keeping you locked down almost indefinitely. You do potentially have counter methods that can address these problems at a range or by stunning that enemy first, but it does present a bit of a beginner’s trap. Most attacks don’t do a ton of damage to you, which conditioned me to be a bit reckless, but then suddenly I might contract the burning condition which takes off more than two thirds of my health over time. Neither of these instances are a common occurrence, but I bring them up to argue that there’s little consistency with the difficulty or damage numbers.

GAMEPLAY – HACK, SLASH, LOOT

Coming into this game with a lot of experience with breaking game systems, I had an easy time with it, but lacking that experience I could totally see someone calling this game completely unfair. There is an easy mode that you can switch to every time you load your save file, but that’s just a band-aid fix at best. Besides enemies having inconsistent damage numbers, your own tools are equally just as random. You do level up in this game, but the stats you gain are determined by the number generator. You can find stat boosts through exploration, but the result is essentially a slot machine. Your gear can be scaled by rarity up to a level four “Epic” rarity, which gives that gear three bonus traits, but you have no way of choosing what those traits will be.

You can upgrade your weapons and spells using money and materials, but that has a max to it, making your only option at that point to get a new weapon or try again at the weapon trait lottery. The thing you have the most control over are the magical runes; you can equip up to three of them and they will adjust your stats in specialized ways. Which runes you have to choose from though is still determined by random drop – and it was unclear to me whether specific enemies had a higher chance to give you what you might need or if it’s all completely global. I happened to find a rune early on that basically broke the game for me. The rune made it so whenever I took damage the enemy also took damage, and this damage was quite substantial.

GRAPHICS AND AUDIO – SIMPLY FANTASTIC

Some earlier bosses seemed to die just from me running straight into their attacks, and while this strategy wasn’t viable past the halfway point of the game, it was still a rune slot I had no incentive to fill with anything else. The weapons in this game also lack any consistency or balance. For melee weapons, you have your typical fast weapons that deal small damage quickly, large slow weapons that deal large amounts of burst damage, and your medium weapons that are somewhere in-between. However the damage numbers do not reflect the speed of the move sets at all. The slow big weapons were too slow and didn’t do nearly enough damage to make up for the medium weapon’s spammability.

Small weapons didn’t do enough damage to compete with the slight speed increase, although there is an argument for using them to stack on status effects like stun or freeze. However, this doesn’t always work on bosses and you can’t choose the status effects you can inflict anyway – at least not without using precious rune slots. It might seem like a good idea to carry multiple sets of weapons to address specific situations, but the universal strategy of “do a ton of damage quickly” meant I usually only focused on one. It was brought to my attention that when this game was originally released you were only able to carry one of each weapon type at a time anyway, and the game seems to be designed around that premise.
