>>382021174
>mediocer combat
you're being too generous
it's one of the worst combat systems i've seen in metroidvanias, with one of the worst weapon/subweapon balances

>>382022065
It's unbalanced, but considering most Metroidvanias have zero difficulty in combat it at least provides some challenge. Things like the axe are kind of broken but there's nothing in the game that trivialises it, which is more than can be said for any Igavania.

How is the combat "mediocre" when every single weapon has weight to it, can be used in a variety of ways, and the enemy design perfectly complements the combat system?

Are you upset that it's a non-conventional combat system (GASP! A NON-DERIVATIVE GAME THAT DOESN'T PLAY THE SAME AS MOST THINGS!) and isn't like hollow knight where you can just press a button and an enemy instantly takes damage if they're in your range?

People like la-mulana because the combat is satisfying, the level design is phenomenal for how it compliments the gameplay, the graphics may be pixelated but the art design of each area is greatly nuanced and polished, the sound direction is satisfying, the music compliments the rest of the game more than it sounds good on its own, and the puzzle design is really good in spite of what your tiny-brained mind thinks (except for like one or two really shitty puzzles like the diary one)

It may not appeal to everyone--niche games don't tend to do that, you know why? Because they're not focus group tested garbage--but that doesn't change the fact you shouldn't respect it for what it is.

>fairy money grind + revolver
Doesn't work on Tiamat and its pretty shit for most of Mother's forms.
>caltrops
Pretty situational outside of abusing i-frames.
Neither of them have anything on shit like the Crissegraem, Claimh Solais, Nitesco, etc., which are just the most broken examples of each game's extensive selection of overpowered bullshit.
>i'd rather play in hardcore romhack of SotN than this shitfest
Good for you.

those were at least fun to use
i mean, igavanias are balanced like shit but on a base level their weapon/spell/subweapon design is miles ahead of anything that LM provides and they have a way better overall "feeling" of combat with many possible setups and strategies

Having puzzles that require a bit of thinking is fine, but having stupidly elaborate puzzles that require you to go back and forth through a bunch of different areas is not. I really preferred when the game's areas were relatively self-contained, once it "opened up" I lost interest.

I liked it. I think most people who enjoy these games are not normal people, be it autism, mentally ill or masochism.

>>382023564
>which is one of the most laughable bosses in the game, especially with caltrops abuse to dodge the super laser
Still harder than anything in an Igavania, to be honest. Most SotN and HoD bosses could be stunlocked with normal attacks, for fuck's sake.
>those were at least fun to use
Not really the point, to be honest. Yes, they have tons of variety, but that variety breaks the game and gives it absolutely no challenge.
LM has very little variety in terms of combat, but at least it's possible to lose (provided you don't use a guide or look up exploits online).

Admit it. You cheesed """that""" room in the hell temple.

I couldn't do it. Maybe I was doing something wrong, but some of the jumps/drops/whatever was just too hard for me. I am eternally ashamed.

>>382024905
M8, I've only gotten a few rooms into Hell Temple so far. I wouldn't even know what to cheese.

>>382025094
It's ok. I also froze time to get through it.

>>382025094
Did you use the software combo to increase your i-frames? Maybe you forgot.

>>382025205
You'll know when you see it.

I was talking about picrelated room (and one above it). I don't know if you're talking about the same one.

>>382025094
Protip: It's way easier with a joystick. All you have to do is cling to the wall and then do a quarter-circle up, and then when you fall to the right place for you to jump down next, you press A to jump to the other side, and repeat.

>>382024485
>Still harder than anything in an Igavania, to be honest
tiamat? hell no. it's about as hard as, say, giant enemy crab from ooe, and that's while i agree that generally igavanias are less challenging
>LM has very little variety in terms of combat, but at least it's possible to lose
difficulty in any igavania can be easily increased merely with tinkering around with damage values and maybe excluding a few things from the game, and there's either romhacks or cheats for that if you're so hell-bent on difficulty
meanwhile LM is simply boredom-inducing as far as combat goes at its basic concepts. i'd say i had WAY more fun doing albus boss rushes in ooe than with LM's combat in its entirety

>>382021174

Badly designed.

I got myself into a no-win scenario. did part of one area, then left to another before beating it. Some thing came down and trapped me. I could do nothing but turn the game off. Turns out you're supposed to get some kind of teleporter or something.

So you're supposed to explore, but not really explore out of the order they want you to play it in or you get into an unwinnable situation? Shit game.

>>382025507
I was. I cheesed it with the lantern.

>>382025553
I don't understand how can someone NOT get the grail. That's one of the first puzzles, and the easiest.

>Get punished for exploring

Hurr, a bunch of skeletons are surrounding this dais, I wonder what would happen if I put a weight on it?

I played through most of the game without the grail and I fucking loved the "no-win" situations, it was a breath of fresh air that you get punished but unable to die.

>>382026112
fuck off with this meme.

>>382021174
Game is not bad, it just takes too much effort to play it, some people enjoy that and to others playing vidya it's something you do to unwind and relax. Nothing wrong about both things, there's plenty of games for everyone.
