“Amazing, absolutely amazing. Ender Magnolia is the sequel to Ender Lilies and it manages to pull off something you don't see that much in sequels nowadays. It vastly improves on everything, and I mean [b]everything[/b],…”

“Cute game nice music!”
“Great metroidvania game. Music, gameplay and map/character design are very good (especially if you like Mili's music like me). Has slight souls-like elements to it but is more on the easier side in terms of difficulty.”

“Definately a big upgrade overall as a sequel, alot of metroidvania quality of life as soon as the game starts - Enemies and stages get definately rougher by the 2nd half Some personal critiques: - In some way, I kinda…”

“A very worthy sequel to one of the better modern metroidvania titles. An upgrade to the original in almost every way, and reasonably priced to boot. Nice quality of life-features, fun combat, variety of builds. My only…”
“I can't praise this game enough. There are 2 bosses that got to me, one of them pretty much because fire is this games cancer when you get ignited. Other then that...my only complaint is there isn't more. If you like…”
“What a grind! I found myself skipping through story just to beat it. But the gameplay is 10/10. Game is one of the best looking metroidvanias you will ever play. Im not very good at games,(im old) but I beat it on…”
