more like alisia midgoon

This had potential to be a hidden gem, and there is alot i like about it, but goddamn did they fuck up on the gameplay.

Really, my only problem is with the difficulty. This game is HARD. Alisia Dragoon just adores spamming enemies at you left and right, and while you do have a homing lightning attack, its not infinite. Using it for too long will make it need to recharge. leaving you vulnerable. Yeah, there ARE the pets, but i didn't find any use for them apart from the yellow circle guy, and he died pretty early for me. This isn't helped by the fact that you get a SINGLE life to beat this game with.

After dying a few times on Stage 6, I gave up, went to the beginning of the game, and turned on the immortality cheat. You could say that I didn't beat the game then, but to that I say "idgaf". Didn't enjoy my time with this one tbh.

I play this game through once or twice a year but I don't blame you for dropping it at stage 6. It's an awkward ass dumpster fire and no matter how many times I replay the game I don't look forward to it despite enjoying the rest of it.

I will say that you can in fact get 1ups though. They're just hidden. On normal I'll usually have 7 or so racked up before dealing with that awful stage.

@evy96 Glad i'm not alone about stage 6, genuinely one of the worst levels i've ever played in any game.
Also, you have to find lives?? Never heard of another game that does that lol. Considering i didn't find any, i'm guessing they're pretty cryptic (or i'm just an idiot)

I have no idea why they thought having a whole level diagonally laid out with those controls would've ever worked. Yeah they're in little orbs like the rest of the power ups and appear as little chibi dolls when they drop. You really have to apply a euro-platformer train of thought with this game- it is chock full of phony walls that you can either travel into or blow up using the lightning. Kinda silly considering most games like this will add lives based on score or whatever but it does reward poking around at least.

@evy96, Wait, do the chibi dolls look like the one of the top-left of the screen, next to your lightning meter? If so, then I think i found one in stage 1, but was unable to get it lol.
I really hate when games make you try literally everything in a level just for the chance to find a secret passage. This game definitely wasn't for me
