Traditionally, Metroidvania usually uses a lot of backtracking in areas that have already been visited. This usually coincides with the fact that the player captures a new object or a new ability that receives entry to previously inaccessible places. While it is often funny and painless, some fans of the genre would argue that it is one of the more tedious properties of the genre, especially if they have to travel through a particularly difficult or non -capable biom. Blade ChimeraThe radical solution is to enable the players to open the card and to forgive wherever they want. Team Ladybug describes this idea:
'' I think the most unique thing about this game is the ability to catch everywhere on the menu. As soon as the player experiences the warp ability, he can travel to the menu on which they were previously, almost anywhere. I only made some locations and objects accessible by distorting to realize one of the main features of the game. As soon as I have got used to this function, you may feel a little upset if you play other metroid vanias without them. ''

However, melee attacks recover to their MPs and Lux's attacks their HP. So if you change your attacks and use both your weapons and the Lux attacks, you can quickly handle enemies without having to spend many resources. The gameplay makes the gameplay quite satisfactory.
