Report a translation problem
Enemy loadout on hard mode is borderline insane but that too becomes manageable as you get more upgrades.
As for it being "clunky", I'm afraid that hasn't really changed. Especially swimming mechanics still feel completely busted.
Overall I'm leaning towards liking this one more so far.
i do prefer the way jumps, etc. control in la mulana 2 though, and i think basically everything in the sequel is better aside from guardian fights, which don't quite seem as epic.
+ Amazing character designs and artwork
+ More involved use of mantras
= Puzzles are still great
= Lore still great
=/- Text saving still bad
- Worse presentation in general. Boss design and level visuals are not as good as the original.
- Bosses also significantly easier
- Little invulnerability post hit leads to silly enemy+spike combos
- Music still good but not as memorable
- World design not as cohesive and unique among levels, most areas look samey
- Lots of bugs as of now
- Translation is wonky. Some hints are unclear and make certain puzzles harder, and seems to be more a translation problem than the developer's fault. Also, for some reason everyone talks super casually and swears a lot. Dunno if this was in the Japanese text, but the first La Mulana wasn't like this, and doesn't look good now.
All in all, it's a worthy sequel, but not a better game IMO. Lots of rough spots and bugs. I'd love to have this game's controls in LM1 though.
