White Flame Inna: Daughter of the Void Reviews

1 hour of my play through : https://youtu.be/z0wQIhcIES4 Overall: 5/10 Excellent boss fight, but everything else is kind of average. I can imagine the dev's dedication and time spent, but right now, it’s not good enough to keep me playing. Graphics: 5/10 • Feels kind of amateur. Some monsters are cool, though. Controls: 5/10 • No low jump when releasing the jump button early. • Dash can pass through some monsters safely, but sometimes it doesn't, and I don't know why. • Dash feels kind of slow because of its constant speed. Maybe make it fast at the start and slow later while keeping the same distance. • Normal attack feels kinda spammy, but maybe I didn't get far enough to unlock new moves. • When jumping and pressing direction + down + attack, it doesn't attack downward. It prioritizes left and right, making it hard to travel by jumping > down-attacking mobs. • Direction lock during the normal attack animation is critical. For example, when I attack on the left side, then press right and dash immediately, I should dash to the right, not left. Level Design: 5/10 • Feels very similar and repetitive. I really hate those "drop down this hole, then go left and right while clinging to walls, and there will be a spike at the bottom." I start jumping down and take damage because it wastes my time. • I don't really understand the purpose of those levers in the stage. I toggled all the ones I found, but nothing seems to change. • The checkpoint is not properly conveyed. I thought it was a save point at first because it has some floating light particles around it. Story: 3/10 • I don't understand anything, and the game doesn't make me care about it. All I got from playing is that I once had a master or something, and I must collect some fireflies or something. • The manga cutscene is pretty good. Boss Fight: 9/10 (the best thing in the game, despite poor controls) • They're challenging and well-telegraphed. I really love it. • First boss: Nothing memorable, too easy. • The Weakest Knight: Excellent early boss—weak name but the right amount of difficulty. Some attacks have a dodge window of less than a second. For example, in the second phase, when he thrusts the sword into the ground, the flame explodes too fast. • The Monk: Another excellent boss. I love that I can cheese him, though.
