Ori and the Blind Forest

June 6, 2016 — 00:00 / 24:56

In this complex podcast, Kenny and Matt get into a brutal avocado-fueled melee about Metroidvania and barely get this podcast out the gate. Also, [vampire reference].

01:17 "Metroidvania is a subgenre of the action-adventure video game genre which borrows heavily from the general gameplay concepts of the Metroid series and the Castlevania series".
01:51 The developer behind this game is Moon Studios.
02:25 More of An American Tail.
02:55 Not Metroidvania, actually Metroid.
03:09 Definitely a Metroidvania game, but not this game.
03:22 Why not throw in a Robocop reference while we’re at it?
03:33 The best Metroidvania game, but still not this game.
03:52 Naru is the name of the blubbery creature.
05:07 Kenny loved that Batmantroidvania game.
12:25 Kuro is one evil owl.
13:21 Here is Kuro again as a half paper, half 3D, faux-parallax version of himself demonstrating the sometimes questionable custscenes.
15:40 INTERMISSION
19:30 Ori showing off some super spirit flame fireball.
22:27 The owl, the music, and the difficulty are all top notch in the final chase sequence.
22:54 Owls are super cute.
