TEVI's Metroidvania And Bullet-Hell Gameplay Is Looking Very Promising

Rabi-Ribi is excellent so I'm definitely keeping an eye on this.

Easy pass just on the character designs alone.

Promising trailer. Looks great and fun!

Looks pretty but not sure if the gameplay is my cup of tea. Will wait on reviews.

...while its name may give some Bethesda fans a heart attack when glanced over in a newspost headline.😄

story cannot possibly be worse than Rabi-Ribi so that's a plus

Combining Ikaruga with Metroidvania and some chibi anime girls to the table, sure I may check it out.

@GoshJosh Why?

@axelhander I mean I am with @GoshJosh on this one. Scantily clad anime girls that look like children ain't gucci, brøther.

This looks way too hard for me, I'm not as good at games as some others but if control of the difficulty makes it work, and sounds like it will, then I might be interested.

Gameplay would be the main factor for myself.

@Fazermint

Thank you, Jan!

Thank Jeebus, I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks this. And this is coming from someone who owns Deathsmiles 1&2!

Looks promising indeed, thanks for writing about this.

This looks like it'd take ages to finish, so I'll pass.

@SpeedRunRocks @Fazermint You both are coming off as really bloody weird right now.

@Samalik @axelhander You don't have to agree with their comment. But, both of you are acting weirdly defensive over a couple of comments not liking the character designs.

@Samalik

Sorry you feel that way. Sometimes I feel like the only sane person in an insane world.

@Frailbay30 It ain't defensive to call out neopuritan idiocy.

@axelhander Sounds like someone just learned a new word and wants to shoehorn it into every sentence. Are you really that weirded out that some people don't like staring at art of half-naked children?

@Frailbay30 The problem is that they said nothing about the character design. If anything, it was the equivalent of saying a character design is slutty because the character merely had noticeable cleavage. Point being, there was nothing pointed out that was relatable back to the characters.

@Jadamson929 Bloody hell, if that ain't a Freudian slip leaking from your mind I don't know what is.

If someone's too creeped out by half naked or even fully naked kids in the future, they're not gonna be very good parents while their kids are stinking up the place let alone give them a memorable summer vacation...
there's far worse things out there than shameless innocence... Like child abuse

@Samalik There's a difference between a kid dressing as their peers or just being naked due to the need of taking off clothes once in awhile vs advertising a kid as a sexual kink and fetish.

People in general aren't creeped out about nudity. People are creeped out when said nudity is applied to a child out of sexual exploitation.

Think what you wish, but I find nothing appealing about scantly clad fictional kids all sexed up for grown ups. You know good and well Japanese media has a weird fetish for making children as sexual looking as possible.

Played the demo on Steam, excellent game, getting it day 1 and milking it for all its worth.

Idk what are people going on about on the character designs, nobody looked scantily-clad and everyone was fully clothed. Like man imaging ignoring the best Metroidvania ever because of some crappy aesthetic hate.

@DripDropCop146 Neopuritanism AND racism, a winning combination.

@DripDropCop146 The irony is that it's often the one who points it out who sees it in a sexual light, whereas the others may not, and then pretend that they don't. So no, I'm not buying what you're telling me, no matter how righteously you try to dress it up.

If you're so concerned about child exploitation abuse, then join a profession that deals with that instead of ranting on the internet over fake abuse. Especially when it's art level fake.
