Bo is a hand-drawn 2D Metroidvania based in a colorful world of Japanese folklore. You play as a tiny fox spirit that grows from lotus blossom after being blessed by the moon god. Use your legendary bō staff to bounce and move fluidly through a delightfully-demonic east asian fever dream. Use the tight movement and reset system to reach areas efficiently and gracefully or recover chaotically while floundering for footing.
Use your legendary bo staff to bounce and move fluidly through a delightfully-demonic east Asian fever dream. Use the tight movement and reset system to reach areas efficiently and gracefully or recover chaotically while floundering for footing. Fluid jumping, bouncing and aerial/acrobatic movement and combat is taken to a new level of flow and complexity and becomes central to the game play. The chaos that ensues when the platforms and enemies become more varied and unpredictable. We want players to remember that this game looks challenging, and that you always need to stay on your toes and react quickly to find a way to stay afloat.

The movement and parkour segments were amazing and the way they implemented that into the boss fights was rlly good.
The environments were also very pretty and the okamiesque aesthetic was a good touch since that game’s so pretty
The story and npcs were pretty weak but that can all be thrown aside in a metroid anyways.
I just dont know why every metroidvania tries to copy the mantis lord fight and fails so miserably😭
Extremt hög difficulty spike mot slutet.

I liked the art style and the combat it looked like hollow knight
Man the parkour was amazing the enemies and the bosses was easy to beat but fun to fight against.
The story was beautiful and simple although i liked how they but a depth in it.
This game is good and beautiful 100% recommend

⚠️ Prise en main compliqué, gameplay peu satisfaisant au final, et surtout un level design très approximatif.
I wouldn't say I was burnt out by the game at the end but the last two main areas and last three bosses are all extremely platform based so it was definitely feeling repetitive and tiring by the end.
Difficulty wise you are able to equip charms to assist you in different ways, more health, more attack power, move while healing etc. There isnt a set difficulty option but you are able to slow the game down which helps with some of the more finicky platforming and I'd also recommend using invincibility for those sections. Without it if you lose all your health you respawn at a save shrine, with it turned on you just start at the last bit of ground you landed on. Given that some of the platforming sections can be particularly long and have spikes and enemies it's a pain if you die and have to redo the entire thing. Invincibility doesn't prevent damage just prevents death.
