When this game first came out, I couldn't get into it. I hated it. But 2 years later, after I'd mastered Hollow Knight and Blasphemous, Minoria became absolutely do-able.

Really I just hated soulslikes, 2D or otherwise. I dropped 3000th Duel so quick you wouldn't even BELIEVE it. I still think that game sucks tho. Kinda dumb to like it.

Minoria is pretty light on the Metroidvania elements, I made it through with only one real movement upgrade and a couple swords. The souls aspect is extremely heavy, but luckily there's nothing to retrieve when you die, so when you journey off to a part of the map that ended up having a single 300XP flower, you can just die in 3 hits and go back to your save.

I dunno, I like this game more than I did, but all in all felt like it was just okay. Pretty short too. Can't wait for the next Momodora though!
