System

Monster Lily encourages you to use multiple weapons & magic shards instead of just relying on one or two. Every Art uses energy - yes that includes weapons! When you kill a monster, you get energy back, multiplied by the number of equipped arts. More arts, more energy.

There are many different kinds of items in Monster Lily designed for tactical gameplay. Use a Door Toy to create a locked door, useful for escaping or trapping a horde of monsters. Drink fluids that impart special powers, such as Ogre, Faerie, and Shadow. Try the Battle Fan, a weapon that deals more damage as you dance around your enemies. Or the Claw, that'll multiply damage with sustained hits. We'll leave it up to you to discover nearly 100 unique items.

Monster Lily aims to have a relaxing control system. Instead of pressing a key for every step you take, just hold a button down and walk smoothly.

Monster Lily is a hard game but introduces a unique twist on permadeath. Checkpoints are available every 8 levels, with a scoring system that rewards smart play. If you wish to get the true ending, you'll need to play to the end without a death.

You'll have to figure out what this is for yourself.
