Really nice to stumble on amazing games out of the blue. We desperately need more stylish action 2d games, though this game and Astlibra Revision are scratching that itch for now

Magenta Horizon is a hidden gem,, the art style is very original, the combat is good although I'm not good at it and at platforming. And about healing, I would have preferred to fill a bar as you hit enemies and use that bar to heal yourself.

Cooked 🔥 It's too bad some people don't even give a chance for superficial reasons, like the game is 2D. So what?

It's a good game, but it's surprising that word of mouth isn't spreading as much as expected.

i looked at the date for this video and saw 2025 i was so confused for a second

Heartwarming: this solo developer still makes hollow knight clones the old-fashioned way

2:30 Very stylish Blucher kill

Looks very cool. So impressed by this was only made by "one" person! Good job man & best of luck 2 you.

GOTY

Hello ! I'd like to reset my settings back to default but I can't figure out where the option menu config is saved. Can you help me find which file it is ?

those cadilosh attempts are real clean

You should do a joms% speedrun

Wow this is so cool

Sink Pissers Rise Up

Got inspired to do a fresh slate run of act 1 after this and managed to die just one time. Only on Wraith difficulty but man was it fun, I hope to get good enough to perfect the higher difficulties one day.

Hmm... You gotta wonder which reviewer is responsible for Alien Soldier/Wonderful 101 being referenced here...

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Amazing game

Gonna buy it

wait this looks good..

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO

Heck yeah!

Absolutely shocked at how you managed to survive the arena before picking up the red key. Awesome.

Purgatory is looking a lot more like Hell Just a few days and it's really finished huh? Congrats on that, it really is a great game.

NGL I think this version of the style meter is better because "attack a lot", "hit lots of enemies", and "don't get hit too much" are basically what the game is actually about as opposed to using tons of different moves for their own sake. You even say as much in the first part of the video

40:09 oh hey, Cookie Cutter! One of my favourites. I wonder if Stefano (the lead dev) has seen this video and would take some of the stuff you talk about into consideration for further development on the game. Combat designs between MH and CC do differ, but which would have to be taken into account, but still. I wonder what your methods/ideas could add onto CC. And likewise i wonder if CC may have had some influence, however small, to MH.

8:42 i suppose that's Blücher's official voice revealed. The lad's awfully possessive of his Pokémon card collection.

I don't see how you are getting hit but not losing health. I die in just a hit or 2

Good work! How on earth do you do that raining down of arrows and the screen go red?!

its been 3 years, can we please have some more?

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

damn, you have a SKILL ISSUE 🔥🔥🗣🗣🔥🗣🔥🔥🔥🦉

thank you gamer

YEAH LETS GOOO

Its so NEAR.

This sounds as if Minos truly displayed how angry he is, instead of keeping himself composed

I still haven’t played the game, all I know about it is that it has a V1 boss in it (also YOU MADE MAGENTA HORIZON??)

Idc if it’s for a collab or whatever it’s still the best duel cover

You've got me toning down the difficulty below standard and you're perfecting these levels. Makes sense because you're the dev but MAN. I haven't even beaten 10-1 yet i'm just commenting because i saw this in my notification feed though i ain't spoiling myself with your gameplay. Great stuff though it's fun even if it kicks my ass EDIT: Just finished the 10-2 boss and damn that was pretty good.

"Who are you?" "I'm you, but taller"

should’ve made a train version of him smh

I actually know the dude who made this game, ye we're kinda bffs

Fantastic video! I love this devlog type of stuff and learning the reasons behind design decisions is always interesting. Also I never realized the end of levels quote all started with the corresponding ranking initial lol. Nice touch!

nice video

This is an epic as hell fan rendition track for Gabriel, one of my favorites honestly.

Hope this eventually comes to consoles (specifically PS5 in my case).

that mic is unbearable but the game looks amazing, can't wait for it to come out of EA :D

Basically this game is kinda like the average day in Birmingham.

Hello maddi

Coming from a guy who's only similar games are DMC 5 in normal difficulty and P-Ranked Ultrakill in Brutal difficulty : These combo games are not really my type of games at all, cuz I'm really not that good at doing extended combos, juggle or anything fancy. But your style and your designs was what attracted me because it all looked so grotesque and cool as hell ( plus , the pink/purple for the win ) I appreciate a lot of designs decisions you've made on the game, especially all the links between attacks, projectiles, player movement and the enemies design ( also Holy shit so many different enemies had crazy ) All difficulty available at the start. DMC 5 didn't want to make me try playing in a harder difficulty because it bored me to hell, being forced in the maximum difficulty you can have at the very start. My only fun was trying to make long aerial combos, but I didn't have anything pressuring me to do so. Haven't finished my run on Magenta Horizon, but playing on Wraith difficulty as a first run forced me to learn the systems of the game. It felt unfair as hell some times, but once the systems clicked in my head, god damn is it satisfying to control the room. At first, I had a really hard time incoporating the projectile attacks into my combos, as I saw them as just a safe way to attack from afar. But once I started considering them as some actual attacks I could get in my combos, it became brutal the good way. Wraith Heart for example, I used to just use them as some prop to put down then just chose whatever direction I wanna send them in. But realising the initial installation of the spike IS an attack that lifts enemies up, it became one attack with a follow up instead of a projectile generator. Except Ultrakill, I don't think I've experienced another game that rewards me with experiencing with my tools to be even more effective in the coolest way possible. All this long text to basically say that you've made a really cool and beautiful game that I'll be coming back to from times to times, whenever I want a challenge :)

Let's go real 2d dmc. Love and blessings!
