Chronicles of 2 Heroes: Amaterasu's Wrath

I suck at this game but I love it. (So much so that I've nominated it as my Best Game You Suck At in the 2023 Steam Awards!) The music is great - really enjoyable tunes that you can find yourself bobbing your head to, and just the right length that it isn't irritating when it loops, even if you spend hours stuck in a level. The pixel art is gorgeous. Scenery and character animations are charming and very well done, each area has a distinctive colour palette and overall vibe but everything ties in nicely, the yokai enemies are distinctive but designed in such a way that its clear what they are for yokai fans - my personal favourites are the karakasa kozo (the parasols), their attack animation is delightful (as long as a hit doesn't land, of course!). There are 6 areas to the game and, especially on your first trip through, most of them will pose at least a little bit of a challenge. The environments are very cleverly designed to encourage you to use all the tools at your disposal and there's plenty of little skips and tricks in there for speedrunners. The abilities, both optional and mandatory, are all well designed too, and easy to use when needed (which is great, because you'll be using them A LOT) The boss fights are just the right amount of challenging and as long as RNG hates you less than it does me, you should be able to get through them all fairly easily once you've got their patterns down (well, except for one...). There's not too many collectables, 2 cats and a handful of optional abilities per area, so you won't get collector's fatigue (though you may get frustrated with some of the ability stone collection challenges as they can be quite tough if you go for them on your first trip through an area!). Overall, I am loving this game so far and plan on 100%ing it, as well as speedrunning it. The game is a little buggy at the moment, but the devs are aware and patching so I'd say definitely buy it, but maybe don't teleport back to area 3 until after the next patch comes out (which will hopefully be soon).

Chronicles of 2 Heroes is a fun platformer that will appeal to most Metroidvania fans. Features some challenging traps and boss fights. Could use a touch more polish but a very fun experience overall.

Lo sigo desde hace tiempo y ahora que lo estoy jugando... ha merecido la pena la espera. [list] [*] Una historia interesante. [*] Una jugabilidad rápida que combina muy bien el combate/plataformas. [*] Las mecánicas que surgen del intercambio entre personajes, con sus habilidades propias, me están encantando ya que se aplican tanto al plataformeo como a combates. [*] Me encanta el arte del juego y tiene un pixel art muy bonito. [*] La música y efectos de sonido me han trasportado a mi Sega Master System II a juegos como el Cyber Shinobi. [*] Dificultad ajustada pero desafiante. [/list] Si te gustan los desafíos plataformeros y los combates intensos, la estética pixel art y los metroidvanias aquí tenéis un buen juego.

Бывает в жизни неутолимое желание смачно пёрнуть, а по итогу получается постыдный шептунок...К сожалению только такая аналогия приходит на ум по отношению к этой игре. Однообразная и настолько пустая, что о ней даже написать толком нечего, ибо содержимого контента в ней ровно на два одноминутных рекламных ролика, которые собственно и "красуются" на главной страничке игры в магазине. И я сейчас не утрирую, в этих трейлерах действительно уместилось абсолютно всё, что имеется в этой поделке.

Very fun game! Enjoy quickly switching between characters to optimize movement and speed. Great pick up for any 2D platformer enjoyer.

the italian isn't too complicated in this one, you have time to read everything. game developed by devs in italy, so the italian dialog is good. the game is a bit frustrating with the control system. you constantly need to swap between two characters, each with their own primary method of movement and attacking. the girl can double jump and throw kunai, but kunai are limited. the guy can't jump at all but can melee attack and dash through obstacles. you need to alternate between the two to maximize maneuverability. primarily, I'd say this game is a puzzle game. you have very little health, and because of the awkward control system, it's easy for you to get screwed over and get stuck taking hits. you will die a lot of dumb deaths in this, particularly against bosses. birds are the bane of your existence in this too. when you get used to the swapping mechanic, it feels good to do some cool maneuvers, and you'll find ways to circumvent challenges later in the game. you earn upgrades and new abilities that can absolutely break the game, and it has a new game plus. it's fun, but a bit rough around the edges, especially around the edges of the screen, where lots of buggy behavior can happen. I'd look forward to a second game that maybe streamlines the gameplay a bit more.

Un pixel-art precioso y unas mecánicas hechas con mimo, cuesta un poco acostumbrarse el ir cambiando entre los dos protagonistas, pero en el momento que te adaptas, se vuelve muy cómodo y natural. Lo que llevo me esta gustando.

中文名：《二英编年史：天照大神的愤怒》 [code]双语评测，认准我们： [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/35263058-Bilingual-Curator/]双语评测[/url] Make Chinese and English speaker feel at home： [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/35263058-Bilingual-Curator/]Bilingual Curator[/url][/code] 日本弥生时代邪马台有位极具极具神秘色彩的女王大人，她的名字是卑弥呼。据《三国志·魏书·倭人传》记载，平定倭国内乱后，卑弥呼为寻求政治稳定，派遣使者拜见魏王请求封印，诏赐刀、镜、剑等物件。 “跪倒吧，在你的女王面前。” “服从于我？还是与我为敌！” 《二英编年史：天照大神的愤怒》便选取这一时期的古老日本为时代背景，参照传奇色彩的卑弥呼女王的事迹，虚构天照大神和她的面具守卫们统治着封建时期的日本，妖魔横行，民不聊生。具有反抗精神的白发老道便训练一对兄妹，男成剑士、女当忍者，血脉相融，配合默契。最终兄妹二人在白发老道和勇敢智慧的帮助下，最终给予天照大神惨痛的一击。 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2984226518 《二英编年史：天照大神的愤怒》是一款非常经典的16BIT绚丽像素的平台跳跃游戏，它有着高难度、高挑战的游戏关卡，讲究合理切换剑士和忍者两个角色的使用。忍者能够跳跃，但不支持二连跳。特定的关卡会有飞镖可拾取，最多携带五个。飞镖的抛掷距离较远，能够远距离杀敌，抑或是远距离触发机关。某些关卡需要玩家触发机关后快速过门，比如远距离抛掷飞镖击中前方的木鼓，它相连接的门便会打开，我们能够节省一段距离靠近敲击木鼓。剑士不能跳跃，而是能冲刺一段距离。冲刺距离根据我们按下按键的长短调整，冲刺后的位置会有一道虚影预示，非常方便。 《二英编年史：天照大神的愤怒》人物立绘是传统复古像素画面，动作模组并不是很流畅，我们需要一定时间的适应时间。游戏关卡设计非常好，双角色自由切换，玩法多样，是一款值得游玩的平台跳跃小游戏。

《Chronicles of 2 Heroes》是一款偏重于解谜跳跃的类银河战士作品，故事讲述了被邪恶卑弥呼女王统治下的日本暗无天日，为了拯救万民于水火，玩家需要扮演两位主角取得传说中的三件神器，摧毁卑弥呼的邪恶统治。在游戏中玩家需要不断运用主角的能力来完成各种谜题，提升能力，找到三大神器。 其实游戏就是把一个传统的类银河战士恶魔城游戏主角一分为二，分别为近战刚猛的剑圣和灵活跳跃的彩女，分别把常规的跳跃、冲刺等操作分配在两位角色之上，反而增加了游戏的繁琐度，老实说直接一个主角什么都会不香吗？正因为游戏的探索需要两位角色不停配合导致玩家的操作繁琐度也支线上升，需要在两位角色中不停地切换，游戏在后期难度还是有一些的。 游戏的实质解谜和跳跃大于战斗，男主本身攻击方式就是近战劈砍，女主更是只有五根苦无，基本没有战斗能力，更多还是利用跳跃、冲刺、格挡等等技能来进行反击和解谜。值得注意的是本作的格挡不同于其他作品需要到身前再格挡，反而需要计算提前量。 同样的，游戏中也和其他类恶魔城作品一样增添了不少的收集要素，那就是猫猫。游戏中大部分猫猫收集都放置了比较显眼的入口，需要花费金币或达成条件来进入，但总体而言游戏的隐藏内容相对比较好找，而且地图再升级后会有明显提示，因此只要细心几乎不会有遗漏。 金币是游戏中的重要经济道具，可以帮助玩家解锁地图标记内容以及在大月寺中享受茶道buff。虽然前期金币的来源单一，但是在第二个大月寺处可以通过反复进出大月寺刷新门口两张图的金币来快速的解锁地图定位内容，也算是一个偷懒的小方法了。地图一共可以显示技能、寺庙、隐藏猫三种内容，也就是升级3次，150的金币基本2分钟就能搞定，还是很方便的。 总体来说本作算是轻量化的类银河战士恶魔城作品，最主要的一点就在于它牺牲了游戏的战斗部分，让整个故事变得轻薄起来，不过依然不能小觑它的难度，这些谜题既考验脑力，也对玩家的精准操作有着极高的要求。 [quote] 游玩百态，将游玩心得用汉语化作玩家的指明灯，(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧ [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/35402408/]点击这里关注汉化语录~[/url] 如果喜欢这个评测，请点个赞让更多人看见 [/quote]

Challenging, frustrating, and rewarding at the same time.
