One of the biggest features of 'ENDER LILIES: Quietus of the Knights' is that you can control the weak girl 'Lily' instead of a strong warrior to fight against the enemy and defeat them to make them friends. am. If you play the following movie, you can see how the first boss 'Guardian Seagrid' is actually defeated and helped.
I tried to defeat the boss in 'ENDER LILIES: Quietus of the Knights' and make friends-YouTube
Lily (left), a girl with memory loss who awakens in a place like a decaying altar, is the main character of this game. The 'Knight in Kuroko (right)' who awakened Lily doesn't seem to know the circumstances, but he decided to help him for the time being.
Lily can't attack herself, so the 'Knight in Black' will attack with her sword instead. This is the 'normal attack' in this game.
The main means of transportation on the map are left and right movements and jumps.
Items are everywhere on the map ...
By picking it up, you can get enhancement items and see 'Tips' that will help you to tell the story.
In addition, an unexpected space may appear in a place that was thought to be a wall.
A little further from the first place, the boss 'Guardian Seagrid' appears.
It is a difficult enemy that launches a wide range of attacks that swing the iron ball.
It transformed when I reduced HP with a normal attack and cornered it.
Since there is basically no defense, combat is mainly evasion. In addition, all enemies including the boss have a stun gauge (bottom) in addition to the HP gauge (top) ...
If you attack and reduce the stun gauge to zero, you will lose your posture and get stuck for a certain period of time, creating a chance to attack at once. The stun gauge will recover over time, so the point is how to fold the attack and stun it.
If you are attacked 2-3 times, the player character's HP will be exhausted, but you can recover up to 3 times. However, the amount of recovery is only about 60% of the maximum HP, and when it recovers, there will be a gap, so it is important when it recovers.
I managed to defeat it. When Lily touches the dead ...
The memory of 'Guardian Seagrid' will flash back. Apparently, this woman was a person who had a connection with Lily in her lifetime.
The dead 'Guardian Seagrid' has become a friend with the purification power of Lily, and the skill 'Guardian Seagrid' can now be used.
There are occasional 'rest points' on the map, and you can recover HP and set skills by taking a break. Save is also done at this 'rest point'.
By setting the skill you got earlier ...
When I was an enemy, I was able to make an attack that swings an iron ball, which was launched by the 'Guardian Seagrid'. Some skills can be used only a limited number of times, but if you take a break at the rest point, the number of times you can use them will be restored.
In addition, since it is possible to jump in two steps, it is now possible to go to high places that could not be reached before, expanding the range of exploration.
You can use up to 3 skills at the same time, but you can set up to 2 sets of skills with 'rest points' ...
You can use up to 6 skills to fight.
◆ I tried to fight using various skills
In the movie below, you can see them actually fighting while using various skills.
Skills can be broadly divided into the 'normal attack' type, which has an infinite number of uses, and the 'special attack' type, which has a limited number of uses. With the aforementioned 'Knight in Kuroko' who can make quick triple attacks with a sword ...
The 'Old Warrior Gel Rod', which can attack a wide range with a large hammer, is a 'normal attack' type.
'Old Warrior Gel Rod' can knock down enemies flying in the sky and inflict additional damage when put out in the air.
Other than the above two, it is a 'special attack' type with a limited number of times. When 'Guardian Seagrid' is activated, it swings an iron ball back and forth at the same place, while Lily can move freely, so she can survive the state of pinch shooting or unleash at the same time as a normal attack to stun the enemy in an instant. Can be used for.
'The Boy in the Village of the Cliffs' is a projectile that explodes when it lands on the ground, and it flies in a mountainous orbit, so it is convenient in places where there is a difference in elevation.
The 'West Merchant' attacks Lily's head while staying in the air, so it is useful in places with many enemies and in boss battles.
'Bacterial Wizard' produces a fog of poison that keeps damaging for a certain period of time, so it is effective for opponents who move slowly and have a lot of HP.
The 'Knight without the Neck' is the only defense that can be attacked with a shield. The time to hold the shield is only about 1 second, but if you catch the attack at the right time, you will get a powerful counter attack.
As you progress through the game, you will be able to advance in the water. Many activities are restricted in the water, but some skills can be used both on the ground and in the water. A 'flower witch' that creates a tornado and blows away the hit enemies ...
'Black Witch Elaien', which shoots bullets that gently track enemies, corresponds to the type that can be used underwater. Only these 9 types of skills can be used in the Early Access version, but 26 types of skills can be used in the product version.
◆ Other points
Another feature of 'ENDER LILIES: Quietus of the Knights' is the stunning graphics and ...
It is a BGM that well expresses the sad atmosphere of dark fantasy. The music of this work is handled by the music group '
The battle is difficult and if you are not careful, you will be defeated immediately, but even if you are defeated, you can revive as many times as you like at the rest point where you took a break at the end, and there is no penalty. If you like action games, you will almost certainly find it rewarding, but for those who are not good at action games, it can be a bit tough because there is no difficulty selection.
In addition, although there are elements such as skill enhancement and item equipment, most of them increase the number of times the skill is used and the power of the attack increases, so the action property does not change significantly, so the training element and customizability I got the impression that the width is a little narrow. However, this point also means that the game will not get stuck due to mistaken training, so it can be said that there are advantages and disadvantages.
Careful reading of the tips and lines of enemy characters you can pick up while exploring will help you immerse yourself in a unique atmosphere as you can see stories and settings that cannot be told directly. In addition, 'fast travel' that allows you to move between rest points in an instant will be available in the early stages, and the map is color-coded according to the presence or absence of leftover elements, so exploration is stress-free. Therefore, I felt that 'ENDER LILIES: Quietus of the Knights' is an action game for those who like the world view and exploration elements of dark fantasy.
