Sunday Longplay - Momodora: Reverie Under The Moonlight - Insane Mode 100%, All Bosses No Damage

This week on Sunday Longplay, I'm checking out a new Metroidvania-style game I had only recently heard of from the publisher of another indie game I had been following for a while. Welcome to Momodora: Reverie Under The Moonlight!

This is actually the fourth game in the Momodora series, though I had never played any of the first three. Apparently the first game started as a Cave Story fangame (I still need to play Cave Story sometime, by the way!) and evolved into its own series. The first three games were only released on PC, but Reverie Under The Moonlight was also released on consoles. I'm playing the Switch version here.

In this game, you play as a priestess named Kaho who has been called to the kingdom of Karst to lift a curse from the land. Simple enough story, but the gameplay is where it really shines. It has a bit of a steep learning curve, and your mistakes are punished pretty soundly, but at no point is it unfair, and it makes you pick yourself up and rewards you for finally conquering your objective. It's hard, but it's the good kind of hard.

Speaking of conquering objectives, just like in the later 2D Castlevania games, this game rewards you with an item if you can beat each boss without taking any damage. In this playthrough I will take on the challenge of beating every boss without getting hit.

There are three difficulty settings available at the start: Easy, Normal, and Hard, with each difficulty reducing your starting life bar and changing the enemy layouts to make the game harder. If you beat the game on Hard, you'll unlock another new difficulty: Insane, which starts you with only a sliver of life with the same enemy layouts as Hard mode. I'm always up for a challenge, so I'm playing on Insane mode.
