By default, Kaho starts with a double jump, a dodge with invincibility frames, a melee attack with her leaf, and a bow and arrow. Plot aside, the combat is where Reverie shines. For the most part, the entire story is “save the land, kill the bad guy, also we are characters that exist, hello.” I can’t help but feel perhaps I’d have appreciated the different races of characters and grasped the story a bit better if I played the previous games, but I can’t speak on how much focus was given to that aspect in other titles in this series. Aside from that, only a few instances of any type story exist in the game, and mostly through short dialogues with NPCs, which don’t reveal much. It is briefly explained that there is some kind of curse over the land, and you’ve got to do what you can to save the kingdom. It starts abruptly with a priestess named Kaho being led into the woods and given a leaf to use as a weapon. Thankfully, this latest release is the first to come to consoles and requires no prior knowledge of the events of the previous titles.Įven with this relatively fresh slate though, the story of Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight leaves a bit to be desired.
MOMODORA REVERIE UNDER THE MOONLIGHT IVORY BUGS SERIES
The series started with two free indie games before the third became a paid product for PC. Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight is the fourth title in a series of Metroidvania games most people probably aren’t familiar with, myself included.
