game ruined by map

[riful reinhardt]

they should remove this boxes connected by line map, i feel like moving from one box to another and cannot continue. should pretend sections are interconnected like hollow knight does. i know hollow knight is basically made of boxes. at least its map pretends to be a 'world'.
also stop putting dots on unexplored exits. do unmapped exits again like hollow knight does.

otherwise a good game.

I agree that the map is just crap in this game and donest help with the irritating lvl design at all.

[Swamp Fox]

+1. Hate the confusing map in this game.

[Roober]

Oh no, the game's ruined! D:

I personally think the map in this game is wonderful, a more refined version of the great Super Metroid. Sure, there isn't some masterfully drawn and detailed world map like your pitiable god Hollow Knight, but it tells you all the information it needs to and it does so very well.

Couldnt agree more. I dont really see why its confusing and/or irritating. It does what it should (at least for me), showing where some things missing and not used paths.

I love the useful map in this game and it's one of the major features that makes it better than Hollow Knight.

The map is mostly fine. I just wish you could:

1) Tell roughly how large a room is from the map screen. A room could be a short hallway that takes 10 seconds to run from one side to the other or it could be a death labyrinth that takes 30 minutes to complete and you can't tell the difference by looking at the map.

2) Annotate the exits on the map so you're not revisiting them for no reason. You can see exits to a room but you can't tell if it's an open exit you just haven't explored yet, a blocked exit that's unlocked from the other side or an exit that requires some ability that you don't have yet. You might revisit a room and spend 30 minutes carving your way through it and then, "Oh, yeah, I can't get through here yet.".

I hope that saying the game is ruined by the map is a terrible, horrible, really bad joke because this game is amazing. One of the best metroidvanias that even rivals Igarashi's.

I have gotten very lost multiple times.. +1 to poop map, but nice shortcuts, so that kinda makes up for it

If you want to play Hollow Knight then just play Hollow Knight

[Algester]

or like to play metroidvanias with more detailed maps go play bloodstained, Order of Eclessia, Dawn of Sorrow, Aria of Sorrow, Ori, Hollow Knight, Deedlit's Wonder Labyrinth which is the same as Touhou Luna Nights games

Order of Eclessia, Dawn of Sorrow, Aria of Sorrow

How is the map in NDS titles any more detailed than in EL? It's the same coloured blocks with different hues for various points of interest. That's all there is to it.

[Algester]

no they are just the same as SoTN which is the same as Bloodstained

unlike Lost Epic and Ender Lilies which has just a 'vague' outline of the area without letting you know where you are in that area

[riful reinhardt]

the map is so bad i couldn't continue, had to turn off the map to stop reminding me that i'm moving from rectangle to another. not gonna pick it up. ciao

Sounds like this man needs to go play hollow knight instead.

If you dont like it thats fine dude. However the way you come off sounds pretentious and snoody as hell rather than offering criticism. If you are meaning to offering advice in future games this is not how to do it.
