Finished The Messenger!
My summary of this game is “amazing side scroller in the first half, mediocre metroidvania in the second half”. Which is kinda surprising because I absolutely love metroidvanias and was looking forward to see how that part of the game was going to be, but I felt it lacked most of the things that make that genre fun.
Finished The Messenger - Picnic Panic!
Also decided to clear the DLC before moving on, which was fun but quite short. But I can’t complain since it was free.
Playing Hatsumira: From the Future Undying!
Chapter 2 introduces the mermaid tribe and the next heroine Meltyna, and in Chapter 3 we meet the dwarves, the undead tribe (!) and the final heroine Reah. This is followed by a very short Chapter 4, after which the game forces us into Yukikaze’s route.
He route deals with final battle against the Evil Empire™ and it was a fun and action packed route, but there’s one thing that really bothered me: There’s zero appearances of the other heroines. At least you get to see Aliah’s side of the final battle when you play her route, wonder if the same will happen on the other two.
Currently around halfway into Meltyna’s route with 86% total progress and expecting to finish this one over the weekend.
Only played a couple hours, but don’t remember anying that looks like a connection between the two.
