PlayStation Plus Users Get a Highly-Rated RPG
With one of the best metroidvania RPGs of 2021 coming the platform, PlayStation Plus members are in for a treat this August. Players looking for a more deep role-playing experience will value Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights even if PlayStation Plus offers entertaining games like LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga and Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach. Often labeled as a "Soulslike" experience, this highly praised game presents a distinctive and demanding Gaming experience that will appeal to genre aficionados.
A Dark and Atmospheric World
The official PlayStation Blog states that Ender Lilies will be on Playstation Plus on August 6th. Although the 2D art approach of the game may first seem simple, it is a major flaw. When Ender Lilies first came out, it was quite well-received; it scored an 8.4 User Score on Metacritical and an 86 on both reviewers' and players' ratings. Inspired by games like Dark Souls and Bloodborne, Ender Lilies presents satisfying and imaginative combat set in a dark and atmospheric environment just ready for exploration.
Specialized Fight Techniques
The battle system of Ender Lilies is among its most original features. Unlike many other metroidvanias in which the protagonist is directly engaged in battle, the titular Lily is unable of fighting herself. Rather, she depends on calling cursed knights to guard her and vanquish foes—including demanding superiors. Although at first difficult, with experience this new method becomes second nature. Even the toughest opponents can be defeated with deliberate timing and exact moves.
Stories and Beautiful World Design
Ender Lilies distinguishes other metroidvanias by giving players some narrative power. Lily's decisions lead the game to several unusual endings, hence every decision she makes has great influence on the last result. Beyond its story depth, Ender Lilies has a visually appealing universe created with a bleak but beautiful art style that accentuates the game's dark and sad environment.
An Enjoyable Sequel
Although Ender Lilies is a great addition to the PlayStation Plus collection, those seeking more of the same might want to look out Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist. Currently in early access on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, this sequel offers a carry-on of the Ender Lilies experience. Though still in development, Ender Magnolia offers a great chance for anyone ready to keep on their trip and explore the planet.
