ENDER LILIES: QUIETUS OF THE KNIGHTS

Combat is entirely summons: each spirit has a cooldown and a role, so your loadout is a party rather than a weapon. That makes progression feel like recruiting allies instead of upgrading a sword, and the boss fights are built to be solved with the right three spirits.

Eight gigabytes, watercolour backgrounds, and a soundtrack by Mili that carries the melancholy the story is going for. The map is more linear than a true metroidvania, which keeps the pace tight and the fifteen hours from sagging.
