It's fucking amazing, why haven't you bought it yet, /v/?

>>381968553
Beat the first two bosses, this game is a steal for 5 dollars. Good thing it's on sale.

you know how when you first played super metroid and you found your first missile upgrade hidden in a normal looking block you shoot to discover? and for the rest of the game after that you have to shoot every block constantly all the time? la-mulana is like that except those aren't optional upgrades. and then sometimes there will be blocks you have to hit ten times in a row, leave, come back, and then hit five more times for something to happen.

Fuck off shill

some furfag has made a better version (with better gameplay) of la mulana in his freetime

>>381969713
Maze of Galious preceded La-Mulana. So unless a game is mimicking the aesthetic of La-Mulana or its hidden (read:bullshit) puzzles and secret fetishism, then it's not a tribute or "version" to La-Mulana, it's Maze of fucking Galious. Especially when your game looks a lot more like Maze of Galious than La-Mulana, most obviously the HUD.
You're the kind of nigga who calls everything a Dark Souls-like. Stop.

la mulana is the dark souls of spelunker rogue like type of fps shooting titles

fuck off it looks exactly like la mulana it even controlls the same

>>381975163
To be honest assuming you are going in without using a guide whatsoever you may never finish it, at least not 100%. Using a guide obviously make the game as fast to complete as you would expect but kinda ruin the whole point of it all. If you play it I think using a guide as you need it may help to reach a middle ground, it is better than outright giving up on it to never be touch again.

>>381975163
just dont bother its a shit game there are much better options out there
if you want similar gameplay just play the anubis and the buried bone game trust me the La-Mulana fag has no idea what he is even talking about he is kinda autistic

Got to that boss gauntlet in the halls of origin (I think) and stopped playing out of frustration

Great game tho

>game that you cannot even play anymore if you havent touched it for a long time due to being so cryptic and all rooms looking the same
>great game

>>381975163
My first playthough was around 30+ hours.

20 hours was the mark where i started using guides. It barely helped at all because of game's extreme non-linearity.

>>381968908
>sometimes there will be blocks you have to hit ten times in a row, leave, come back, and then hit five more times for something to happen.

There would be a tablet or a hint of some sort somewhere that says you should do it

It wont tell you when or where, and said tablet might be on the other side of the ruins, and be cryptic as fuck but its not completely random as you make it sound

>>381978824
so the stone tablet is not even in the same room? then how are you supposed to know which room it refers to? sorry but that sounds like bullshit

>>381978573
I will admit the game, to me, feels like a project to which you have to dedicate time and see it completed.
But the room design has nothing to do with it, more with how non-linear it is that you don't know what to do next or what area you have/can explore now.

Its a matter of going back and giving yourself a tour around the ruins to check where you had left off

>so the stone tablet is not even in the same room?
ah you you naive child

It might not be in the same level. A hint on the first plate you encounter can be for the late game puzzle that you will have to solve 30 hours after.

> that sounds like bullshit
it is

Deal with it

>>381979064
Usually the tablets say which part of the ruins, and any telltale marks of the room in particular.

Maybe try playing the game first instead of just going from what your favorite Let's Player says?

>>381979315
glad that absolutly nobody cares
this faggot has completly ruined any discussion on this game and future games on the series anyways so iam actually glad it wont be released soon

>>381979583
dude stop acting so reddit i was just asking a question and no i dont want to play your shitty game fuck off shill

>>381979064
Cause in the same tablet it will tell you about things to look out for in a cryptic way.

Like if it says "Smash the heart of the crescent moon" and at some point you come across a room with vases in a crescent moon formation you look back at your notes to see if there's one that could help you out in that situation.

It might not be easy and at some point you might have to think really hard on what hint tells you what to do, but its not "bullshit"

>>381968553

to be honest i would legit like to play the game but i hate how when you fall down you cannot controll your character anymore he just falls down a straight line its specially annoying during platforming bits where you can fall off and then there are a bunch of bats that are hard too hit

>>381980282

That happens when you walk off an edge of a platform.

The solution -- don't walk off edges, jump off them.

>>381968553
I played it but got stuck not that far from the end (at least i think) and i'm too proud to use a guide/walkthrough but maybe i'll pick it up again in the future.

>>381980282
Guess it's not for everyone, if it is any consolation I also completely despise the aerial control of this game and it took me quite some time to get used to it.

It is one of the things I really hope they fixed for the sequel if it's coming at all

>>381980561
if you are at yellow/red medicine of life stuff -- don't even bother. Look it up.

If you need to do mantras stuff -- just run around everywhere and yell all mantras -- it will take you less than 10 minutes and is definitely faster than trying to solve it legit.

>>381980282
if you jump off ledges rather than walk off them, you are free to control your character during the fall.

>>381980530
but then i have to jump and then i would most likely jump into a bat or a bullet thats shooting at me

>>381980765
>i have to jump and then i would most likely jump into a bat
Kill the bat.

> a bullet thats shooting at me
Dodge projectiles. When you jump off edges -- you have the control over your fall.

For every problem you're imagining there is simplistic solution.

>>381968908
The thing about this game is tablets tell you everything about that. If you fail to read and maybe even take notes from time to time, you will be fucked. For every screen, there's a puzzle, but for every puzzle, there's at least 1 tablet. I kept a list of tablets I read and couldn't immediately figure out, and put a check mark next to them when I was sure I figured out what puzzle it was related to and didn't need it anymore. Took me 80 hours to beat the game guideless though. To be fair, the temple is fuckin huge with 16+ sections to it, but still probably took me an above average amount of time.

>>381982009

Its been so long since I backed this on kickstarter. On one hand, I have frequent updates reminding me that the game is still alive and being made, on the other hand, it has been so long and we still have no solid idea of when it might be close to done. At least I have the hope that all this time he's taking means it'll be as expansive as the first. I was a little worried when I heard about a sequel that it wouldn't have quite the love and ambition the first one did.

Heres the update from the backer forum:

I'm in a position of designing the overall structure, game balance or other important essences.
When I'm too much into these tasks, sometimes I forget to add small elements.
Which means, when I'm thinking about the connection of the maps or walkthroughs, the map tends to have less traps or lava.

Therefore, every time I realize these crucial oversights (which happens periodically), I do a thorough check of whole map and add the most important elements, "death traps" so that players can die a lot. This is how LA-MULANA is made.

Adding to above, I'm too used to making 2D games, so sometimes I change my mind to 3D mode to have more 3D assets like rotating objects.

La Mulana is a 10/10 game that's sadly rated lower than it should be since so many people have a low attention span/poor observational skills. Playing it with no online resources and a notepad next to me is one of my most memorable gaming experiences

Freeware version was the original.

Versions you think of as "original" came several years after that.

>>381990646
It's an Indiana Jones staple, stupid. It wouldn't be a set of ruins without deathtraps. My favorite is the one which doesn't even kill you, it just traps you and you have to use the grail to escape.

Meanwhile there's no reason that guy in armor can use OHKO shockwaves. It's just a guy, shoot him in the head.

They switched to working with Unity only last year I think, the initial release date was summer 2016 but thats long gone, now they havent said anything about a release date and simply keep on polishing until its ready, as it should be. They are also putting in a lot more visual detail than the original, pic related is apparently only a one-time character that gives a small hint
Wasnt the original a freeware game? Only the remake got a lot of sales, not sure how the profits were distributed.
Theres like 3 people actively working on Nigoro judging from the promotional videos and apparently they dont have money to hire more

>>381991252
I'd say fuck it and still play the game, it won't screw with your enjoyment I think because that's like the last set of puzzles in the game. Plus I don't even think you get it or have enough of a hint to not still need to solve it, if you're even referring to what I think you're referring to.

I have no clue what or who you're talking about. I learned about the game from /v/, from a thread like this or a thread where someone was asking for help on where to go / a puzzle, I don't remember exactly, but the game sounded fun. And now it's one of my favourite games of all time. Thanks /v/.

>>381991681
Dude, compare the latest video to that downloadable beta. It looks way fucking better.

>>381991823
After Cave Story gained a small but dedicated fanbase everyone set out to find the next obscure but good japanese indie game. La Mulana was one of these which was occasionally recommended.

However, La Mulana was way too off-putting for everyone so nobody realized what it was until some guy played through it, and you could see that the fucking thing had like 90 videos with content up the ass. There was a spike in popularity and NIGORO personally listed his name in the credits as special thanks.

>>381968553
Was sure fun walking around aimlessly until you happen to find the first tomb then realise you have to have a piece of equipment so you head back to the start and farm coins until you can afford it

The whole point is exploration yet you can unavoidably get killed by going the wrong way.
Oh and those "puzzles"
>Walk through a wall to come out on the other side of the map and you can proceed
>Those red skeletons you can't kill without 3/4 of your life getting taken away or even get past without taking a hit? Yeah you have to kill those to proceed.

Nah. The game is poorly designed. Apart from the lack of direction even something as simple as "I heard there was a tomb to the east" but no; "here's a laptop now fuck off lol"

And no, retarded cryptic "hints" on dead people are not a good method for telling people the obscure things you supposed to do.

okay jose
Also, those red skeletons do not do damage equivalent to 3/4th of your life or anything close to that, that's just a straight up lie. And getting past them or even defeating them without taking a hit is extremely easy, you just sound like you're really bad and salty about it so you blame the game for your inadequacy.

You'd have somewhat of a point if you complained about how difficult/obscure the game gets in the stretch from gate of illusion to chamber of birth, but if you actually had problems with what's basically the fucking tutorial area? Jesus christ man, that's all on you.

Thats one of the reasonings behind the mantra puzzles where you have to look at both sides of each area as a whole though but the whole solution is so convoluted that a hint like that doesnt spoil it at all

Just shilling environmental station alpha, its post-game is very La-Mulana influenced (with the part before the first ending being more Metroid). The game is great but somehow gets mentioned way less than other indie metroidvanias.

>>381995171
Because it's the ugliest game put on sale since the Atari 2600 decided to adopt some standards.

>entire level of minibosses for the final guardian before mother
>said minibosses are all its children because Tiamat was trying to imitate and surpass her mother
>guardian is also the only guardian that's on the rear part of the temple because of its power
Great way to drum up hype.

>>381996710
The whole idea of a pocket dimension is sort of ingenious. You solved enough impossible-tier puzzles that you were able to access a separate reality. Tiamat's probably like "what the fuck? how did this little shit get past the endless corridor?"

>>381992989
>Those red skeletons you can't kill without 3/4 of your life getting taken away or even get past without taking a hit? Yeah you have to kill those to proceed.
You had problems killing the red skeletons? How the fuck can you lack such basic skill? I mean you jump in and out, get a few hits, back off before they attack and then you go in again and repeat until dead.

I want to fuck Baphomet

Fuck the hell temple puzzle with having to scan the signs at the bottom of pitfalls in the penalty rooms and fuck even harder the one about scanning specific skeleton faces in the background, especially the one where the skeleton's expression is almost identical to all others

>>381996710
>>guardian is also the only guardian that's on the rear part of the temple because of its power
Not exactly, it's actually more awesome than that. Dimensional Corridor IS the frontside, but Tiamat used her powers to make it switch places with the Endless corridor (and then hid the entrance away in pretty much the furthest corner)

Baphomet has two terrible penises that are also shaped like snakes.

In fact if I didn't know any better, I'd say the only reason they're not visible is because you already killed them as the 1st boss

>>381998096
Yeah he's pretty doable, just outdps him before he kills you basically.
The only bosses that can really annoy me are Bahamut (fuck that fish and his fucking corridor fireballs), and Viy can be frustrating (but only if I get knocked back by a random thing and fall all the way to the bottom because of how you lose all control in a knockback) but is also pretty doable.

Thank god for the Axe though.

>>381998423
Objectively the hardest boss in the game is Tiamat because you either learn to be perfect with jumps to circumnavigate platforms to dodge rotating death laser or you abuse caltrops i-frames.

What now, Axefag?

>>381997527
Hmm. I hope they don't recycle too many puzzles. Those mantras had better be way harder to locate now that everyone knows to look for the crosses.

>>381998572
I didn't have much trouble with the death laser for some reason. Trying to get in reliable damage without getting hit too much before that was more difficult because of the hair blocking so much. Until I figured out I was dumb and you shouldn't come at her from the side but just stand under her breasts and double jump.

>>381998572
Nah, Tiamat is set up so you fight her last. Baphomet is the only second tier boss you can fight pretty much right away. No HP, no gauntlet, no flail whip, it's bad.

>mfw I beat Zou without the lamp of time

Really wish the was more user friendly. It becomes stupidly unintuitive after you kill 3-4 bosses.

>when La Mulana 2 comes out there will be no guides
Can't wait to play it and see the threads of people being fucking lost

So if the ruins are the mother's body and she kills each generation of children after they fail her, why are there still living creatures inside the ruins? What role does Chamber of Extinction play into this, how come that's the only area completely ruined by her wrath?

>>381999820
But that's what's so fun about the game, figuring out a difficult puzzle by going through your notes, best feeling in the world.
>>382000516
It will be glorious

>not even la-mulana threads are safe from peoples stupid arguments
Fuck everything

I bought it like 3 and a half years ago and beat it like 3 years ago.

Easily one of the hardest games I've ever beaten, and probably one of the hardest games ever made.

Not that that's good or bad, it just is what it is. Some of the puzzles in this game are so fucking dumb and ridiculously obscure, it's ridiculous.

same shit in the endless corridor speedrun section, I didnt check for alternative solutions because I thought the run was pretty doable although tight

>>382001103
Same here man, that's why I felt so cool when the achievement popped up. I just thought it was supposed to be a really hard miniboss.
I did the Endless Corridor thing the intended way though, too shit at the platforming to do it the hardcore way.

Who thought that turning these metal bars into ladders is a good idea? They don't look like any of the other ladders in the game. In fact they look differently from the other ladders in the same fucking area.

I love La-Mulana and making progress in that game is one of the most satisfying thins you can do in vidya but stuff like this is dumb.

Only the Fifth Children were killed by Mother I think, they tried to imitate Mother by trying to create life themselves (the Sixth Children) and made Mom mad. Chamber of Extinction is the place where Mothers wrath took place, the corpses are the remains of the Fifth Children I think. Other Children either killed themselves (accidentally or out of shame of not being able to fulfill Mothers wishes) or just faced extinction as the next generation overtook their place.
The monsters in the ruins are not the actual Children but rather their distant descendants or completely other species that just happened to adapt to the environment and look the same as the Children
Heres a neat map from the backer forum, theres interesting lore about each of the Children too to provide some more background for LM2

>>382001626
Yeah, that's one of the few things that never get defended in these threads because it was indeed kinda dumb. Just like how killing Viy suddenly spawns a door on the fucking surface of all places to the Tower of the Goddess.
I mean I guess that particular part of the surface is connected to the Spring in the Sky, but it's still a pretty random fucking trigger. I believe even the devs called that one a mistake.

>>382001778
Those were ladders? I just jumped to the left platform and then to the top.

>>382001649

From what I understand Mother just made whatever societies they created collapse and ruined them but didn't actually take the effort to wipe them all out.

>>382001918
What are you talking about? You can't even reach higher parts of the area without knowing these things are ladders. Unless you go some complicated way through the fucking Gate of Time or something.

Love the original Grand History: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTLjlUIDI_U

I usually prefer the remake versions though.

Are upgrades always going to be so awful? This barely feels like metroidvania, more like a 2D puzzle game with awful combat.

>>382001889
In the original game the closed door was visible so you knew you'd have to go back there eventually. It's pretty bizarre that they changed it for the remake.

>>382002848
Aside from the Feather, there are not really upgrades that impact the platforming and combat like there would be in more traditional metroidvanias, no. The focus of the game is the exploration and the puzzles foremost.

>>382002848
If by upgrades you mean items, theres only a couple of items that enhance your combat abilities, most of the items either give you more movement mechanics or act as puzzle pieces
>more like a 2D puzzle game with awful combat
thats what it is, the puzzles and exploring are the main point

>>381990019

Reading this thread made me realize how much of a pleb and casual filter this game is.

Every time. Should I just grind for pistol ammo?

>>382003278
>>382003397
Yeah man it's probably the hardest game I've ever played haha and Yeah I've even played Dark Souls.

>>382003957
>ever using the pistol

The pistol is basically a last resort weapon for when you truly can't progress, it's way too strong and defeats the purpose of the fights. If you use shurikens and time the whip hits correctly the boss isn't that hard.

>>381968553
I bought it but it won't fucking open without crashing so I've accepted that I'm never gonna play it.

>>382004132
Chakrams actually deal almost the same amount of damage as the pistol and you have effectively unlimited ammo for it. The final whip upgrade is even more powerful. The only advantage to the pistol is that you can get it before either by grinding for money.

I don't know, it's one of my favourite games of all time but I'm always hesitant to completely recommend it. It's definitely not for everyone, nothing wrong with that.

Honestly the elitism surrounding this game probably turned more people off than anything. It's a fun little project, but it's hard and complicated.

>>382004492
>posting a slow kill of Viy
Just one round it with the whip bro

>>382004681
>Stop!!! You're playing the game wrong!! Stop it!!
What else should I not do?

>>382004681
Actually surviving the caltrop quick-kill trick is a lot harder than just hitting Viy with strong projectiles. In the remake you get your health drained constantly when in contact with Viy, even while you have invincibility frames. The caltrop damage boost is just so you don't loose time to the hurt animation when on top of Viy.

>>382004681
well maybe devs should actually balance the combat in such a way it will make all subweapons useful and not just i-frame abuse caltrops and ez mode revolver

>>382004919
How will you get the whip without killing Viy? Retro world skip, I guess?

>>382004369
Well yeah I meant early on in the game. He was talking about Sakit and in that stage of the game the pistol is powerful as fuck.

Ive noticed in this thread, the disgaea threads and the final fantasy threads that people lash out against a supposed dedicated shitposter who goes around just trolling to incite replies.

The one thing that we all hopefully can agree on, regardless of gameplay or not, is that LM has some of the finest tunes in all of gaming.
The moment you set foot in that Indiana-Jones-like territory, you're greeted with music that riles you up accordingly. And it only gets better from there on out (except for a few throw-away themes).

Tiamat is just excellent in general. I loved that she flipped shit up and hid in the back instead of the front.
I love when you fight her, she has that smug fucking grin at the start of the fight, no doubt due to overconfidence. I mean just look at her fucking huge visage compared to Lemeza.
Her face then turns to anger and then finally a mixture of anger + panic when she realizes you ain't fucking around.

Le mulana haha I love this game haha, its good and not shit haha

I really want to like this game, and it's fucking great at parts, but every time I start I quit because of some stupid b/s.
Most memorably I was stuck for a while in the tower of the gods because the trusses look like background pieces and don't remotely look like the ladders literally one screen away.
Other than that I spent so long wandering because as far as I'm aware, there's no hint for the door to the tower of the gods appearing, or the sphinx in the temple of the sun getting destroyed.
Also using weights to go anywhere is shit because it costs money to explore, in a game about exploring.
Am I just shit and suck at this game? I'd really like to be shown what I'm doing wrong, but it always feels to me like there's enough design oversights to ruin the whole thing.

I regret cheesing that fight to this day. I have to replay the game sometime.

I honestly can't play La Mulana. Difficult 2D platformers has never been an issue for me, but this one game manages to push every button in the worst way. It's just way to hardcore for me.

aside from maybe 1-2 situations it invalidates all other weapons
