Little Noah Scion of Paradise - Playthrough Part 1

Little Noah: Scion of Paradise is a 2D action rogue-lite game. You play as Noah Little - an alchemist who is on search for her father. Her airship crashes in some mysterious ruins where she meets a talking cat, who is their guardian. The ruins were attacked by an evil Sephiroth-looking fellow who wants to use them for his no-good purposes.

In terms of gameplay Noah can collect Lilliputs - creatures who do he bidding and are incorporated in combos. Each Lilliput is part of the string or you can put it in the special move slot where it will perform a different attack. Special moves are powerful and require cooldown. It's a very interesting system, which somewhat reminds me of Ender Lillies (although this game may be older). There's also the Avatar Burst, which is a super move filled as you fight enemies. In the levels themselves you can find artefacts and crystals increasing your abilities. With the gold you get from chests, enemies and destructible objects you can go to a shop to purchase different artefacts or Lilliputs. One thing to note is that you can teleport to any part of the stage that you have previously been to and do so instantaneously making exploration more smooth. That being said once you exit a gate and move on to the next node you can no longer go back.

I made some progress and even defeated the first boss, but the second one got me - the Titan does tons of damage and it can kill you in 4-5 hits. When I died all the Lilliputs and artefacts I found got converted to mana, which is the currency used to repair Noah's ship giving you permanent upgrades. At the airship you can change your costume giving you different boosts and abilities, bond with your Lilliputs by giving them gifts (the chests you collect during the exploration) and place statues giving you more permanent stat upgrades. I unlocked a chicken, which gives you 500 gold before you start each adventure. I also got the ability to use potions and activate different effects at the gates, as well as an attack boost.
