Stumbling through Core of Innocence

[davidn]

Pudding Hat Games released Core of Innocence after a record-breakingly long time in production! And I gave it a spin, recording the experience and getting much more into it than I had first thought - even as this video was uploading I was back trying to defeat a huge annoying plant boss.

At its heart, it's a Metroidvania game, but it has a couple of extra dimensions that took me by surprise. Download and play it yourself!

Well, that was a fun $5 donation, and thanks for introducing me to this bit of strangeness, but as of now, I've 100%'d the game.

I'll tell you one thing: As much of a pain as finding all the items is, it's worth it. I just got the final Ensemble a few minutes ago (a cosplay of Ashe from FFXII), and uhh...well, it's worth it.

I don't mean in the "damn she's hot" way (though, in fairness, both Lila and Ashe are), I mean in the fact that, while it takes all your equipment slots, it gives a THREE-HUNDRED POINT BOOST TO ALL OF YOUR STATS.

I took that and the Fusion Rifle (a secret weapon) against the final boss...and killed her before the screen even finished brightening up (or, for that matter, before she'd even launched a single attack.)

So yeah, I think I'm done! :D
