About this game
ENDER MAGNOLIA: Bloom in the Mist follows Lilac through a land shaped by magic and machinery. Fight hostile Homunculi and free their souls to bring them into your group, then combine their combat abilities, from close-range weapons to ranged attacks. Your companions also help you explore through high jumps, wall climbing and grapple movement. The journey leads through abandoned districts, laboratories, an academy and factories. Search these places for useful items or obtain them from shops, then use materials from defeated enemies to enhance equipment. Recruiting companions, arranging their abilities and developing your equipment all contribute to moving through this side-scrolling adventure.
Collected in series
ENDER brings together dark fantasy action RPGs built around exploring connected 2D worlds and fighting through the powers of rescued allies. New abilities change both your attacks and the routes you can reach, sending you back through ruined places to uncover what was previously out of reach.
