After flailing around with no SP, I allow Sumire to catch her breath before the video ends.Įxploration ( as in, “no stone left unturned”) is mandatory for players interested in the full game. In the following clip, I showcase a variety of attacks against a room full of enemies. In fact, sometimes it’s best to expend ammunition when juggling SP would endanger Sumire. When Sumire runs out of SP, she can no longer run or deal damage until taking a short break. But melee isn’t just for saving bullets, it’s an essential piece of her tool box! For example, her pipe offers a wider reaching attack than her gun, allowing her to reach flying enemies deal or take out erratic foes.īut melee consumes “SP”, a constantly replenishing resource analogous to “fatigue” in other games.

Sumire has four attacks a kick, a pipe, a pistol, and Molotovs. But when reloading takes as long as taking a shit, you also have to decide whether or not it’s worth pinching bullets in the heat of battle. Sumire can only hold up to three magazines for her weapon - and reloading will not preserve unused bullets. The key to success is shooting with moderation. Well, I guess that depends on you consider “stakes” huh? Section Two: Combat Sumire’s mission for “NEW SHELTER” is an arduous one - but with stakes along the lines of being raped until she (presumably) dies, failure isn’t exactly an option. Whether it be platforming, stealth, or juggling colored keys there’s more to survival than counting bullets. Chapter Two: Gameplay (3/5★) Section One: OverviewĪnthophobia is more than a shooter each level has one or more gimmicks to keep gameplay interesting ( or frustrating).

I also later learned Anthophobia features cheat codes for skipping levels, but at that point the damage was done I only somewhat enjoyed this game, and I decided I’d rather just be done “done” with it than pursue completion. I didn’t know that and thusly, felt robbed of my time and money. You see, to unlock each “chapter” you have to collect hidden “golden cards” throughout the game. I took me about five hours to reach the “credits” screen, but later I learned I only unlocked the “bad ending”.
