AHA! I totally forgot about that three piece door! Will head there tonight when I sit down to play, thanks so much!
Wasn't it debunked that the outfit makes chain dashing easier?

No problem. Glad to have helped. =)
Huh. Then wtf does it do? Its placebo effect is super strong, then.
I guess I'll change back to the orange cloak, then.
I think going back and forth only really works with a mouse and keyboard.

I just did counter-clockwise. I think your current record doesn't mean much. If you can do 200+ in a row, doing 800 is just more of the same.

So how do I get to the hoard mode?
Finished the east boss on my second try, fun fight! I'm soooo glad I finally bought this game after being scared off by reviewers calling the game very difficult. It's certainly challenging, but it never feels insurmountable. One of the best games I've played this year for sure.

To beat that, you just need to fill out all the boxes, right? I noticed in one arena that the enemies kept coming even afterward, and I just assumed it's unending.
Yeah - once you fill all the boxes the screen flashes and a little music chime plays to say you've beaten that area. After that it's just keep going for a high score.
Beat east and north bosses. I don't understand why I can't open a door in north area (the one with four triangles on it, I already found all of them in that area).
Great game so far, amazing soundtrack.
I unlocked two or three upgrades, need to practice for the dash challenge.

100% the same for me, going to be in my top five of the year for sure.
I just beat the North boss, it was so easy.. I almost did it first try, but completely nailed it the second time. Shotgun is deadly yo

There are 8 triangles.

Which is why a lot of peoples say to go East first, definitely gives an edge on the other two bosses.

I've always been using that exploding ball gun and the rifle (mostly for switches). Is the shotgun or that splitting-and-then-converging gun really good?
This game is fucking brilliant
Just finished West. Beat the boss second time by the skin of my teeth.
Just south to go. Found all power nodes so far. Missing a monolith in West and prob missed loads of gearbits but love hunting them down. Will make a Trek into the 8 triangle door in West later tonight. The shotgun is excellent.

Not sure if this is quite what you are after, heres a video from Vice - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUT5SBZkVys
Thanks, I saw it earlier but I'm more looking after the ideas that were scrapped and why.

They've said that it was to make the game flow better. Things that looked good in the beginning didn't look good to them near the end. That's what they've said anyways. They've got a couple of unused character models and animations. Seems odd. Even a few animations of the main character doing some weird moves that don't exist.
Thanks, do you have a source?

It was addressed in a Kickstarter update when they released it on PC

Any differences I should know about between PC and PS4?
Going to switch my backer code from Vita to one of those and need to decide.

I really love it. I was initially turned off because of how "difficult" I heard it was, but its not... it can be tough alot of the time but you get into this groove, like you can see the matrix and it all clicks into place.
Plus its gorgeous and hands down features the best soundtrack of the year by a mile.

I don't think the PS Vita has enough buttons for this. I tried it on Remote Play, and not having four shoulder buttons was kind of a big deal.
That said, the game is fantastic, and you should get it now.

Okay, so I've just beaten the boss in the East. Where is the next easiest territory? Bearing in mind I've really frigging struggled with it so far. Great game, but bastard hard!
East was your first? Then go north. Pretty easy encounters but boss is harder, so be prepared for that. West has the hardest boss, you may want to save that for last.

The weapon you acquired in the East should help tremendously in close quarters!

Thanks both. I need to get a but more used to using my gun during combat. Mostly dashing + using sword at the moment. On PS4.

Guns are super useful in this game. I think the gun from the west is my main source of damage, whereas the sword is often just for recharging the gun.

Jesus holy fuck, the boss in the north is kicking seven shades of shit out of me. There's so much going on in the screen sometimes I can barely see where I am.

fwiw, I found the North the hardest, but it was before I unlocked the multi-dash. That thing is damn near required for some of the bosses in this game, including West.

Alright, I cleared the north and I'm now heading south. Upgrades so far I've bought are the multi-dash, the sword charge swipe and the sword ability to knock projectiles back at enemies. I've also picked up a grenade which I've yet to use. Leaving it there for tonight, as I'm heading up to bed now. Took a while to click, but I'm really enjoying it. Gives me vibes of lots of different games, from the isolation of Super Metroid, the gameplay of Zelda: ALttP and I get Fez vibes from the visuals and music (the latter for obvious reasons).

I can't find my way into the south dungeon. Found a couple of golden cubes en route but there's a wall literally about 100 metres outside of the village and I can't find my way past it. Any tips?

You have to beat the other bosses before you can go south.
I was in the exact same position today. Beat East and North and South is blocked. Headed West.

Do you have the absorbing dash? It's easier to just dash through his shots and shoot him back.

I'm totally lost in the western area. Spent about two evenings looking around but I've only found two containers. Don't know what I'm doing wrong and a little more direction would be useful.

There are a lot of hidden paths in the west. Try looking at the ground for little square markers. A lot of secret paths and switches are marked.

What type of game is this, if you had to compare or combine two games to describe it? It looks like something right up my alley, but I want to go in as blind as possible, and right now I'm pretty fucking blind outside of some screenshots back before release. Is there anything random about it as far as generated levels, loot, etc?
Hoping for something like Zelda/Metroid as far as level design, and if there is combat, that it's hard but extremely fair.

Zelda/Metroid is pretty much it.
