Our take on Bitter Belief
The page emphasizes an engaging story but gives little detail about its twists or how the narrative unfolds beyond Elizabeth’s search for three stones and her father’s release.
What is Bitter Belief?
Bitter Belief is a metroidvania starring Elizabeth, who travels through unfamiliar lands to find three magic stones and free her exorcist father from the spirit world.
The journey follows an encounter with his spirit at his tomb. Elizabeth gains powers as she progresses, including a fireball attack with lightning. A quick attack targets an enemy within reach; holding the attack button briefly slows time, allowing the player to select a target, cancel the attack, or avoid a collision with danger. The game has 3 stages and more than 20 levels, with difficulty that calls for attention to level details. Its final boss is described as difficult, and the player has 3 lives.
