Forgot how hard Absented Age could be. You see, the second game tones back the difficulty a lot, but you are still required to be strategic.
So, I didn’t notice much since I was doing this on autopilot with the strategies and whatnot.
However, I was replaying a stage and didn’t pay attention...
The form is supposed to be a form that strikes fear into enemies and allies alike, and I’d say the mechanics does that quite well.

Really hope a third game comes out, since I suspect it will go into more directly the church.
The protagonist is still the church’s enemy.
Ah right, I forgot the protagonist is like a Driftworld. Meaning they have the power of a world inside of them.
Which goes into why the church wants to capture them, to seal them within a dagger to use as a weapon against Gängers.
However, there is likely something else. Since none of their...
Replaying Absented Age Squarebound, the first game. Two floors before the boss, encountered a super boss. Used up a lot of items.
The next floor? Monster House, used up the rest of my items.
When I got to the boss, I had nothing left. To rub salt in the wound, the tip tells you how items can...
