Play it if you…
Good fit- Metroidvania players who want enemy abilities to determine how they explore

- Players who prefer choosing the order in which they explore areas
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a strictly linear route may not suit the game's open-order area exploration

- Players who do not want abilities and items to open new paths may find the progression structure unsuitable
Our take on Limos' Lair
Enemy consumption replaces a more conventional upgrade path: abilities come from the creatures encountered in the lair. The frog-like tongue also combines traversal and combat, while areas can be approached in any order rather than through one fixed sequence.
What is Limos' Lair?
In this action-puzzle Metroidvania, enter the hideaway of an ancient mythical being and uncover its secrets.
Defeat and consume enemies to acquire their powers, then use those abilities to traverse the world, solve puzzles, reveal hidden routes, and access areas that were previously out of reach. A frog-like tongue serves for grappling and combat. The world allows areas to be visited in any order, with secrets, challenges, foes, and traps along the way. Items can aid in fights or open routes to new places. Follow a strange orb of light while using collected powers to explore the lair and lift its curse.
