Last Vanguard - All Bosses (No Damage / Hard) & Ending

Описание: Defeating the bosses in Last Vanguard without taking damage (other than a final scene that you can't really lose) on Challenging difficulty (aka hard) and its ending. When the Absolute Leader decides to take over the world in a way that sets off a self-fulling prophecy you get to emerge from stasis to deliver their comeuppance.

Challenging just has it cost energy to reload your gun. That only is an issue if you have no bullets or energy, requiring you to whip something to use your gun again. As such it's not significantly different from normal difficulty.

I used the iframes from sliding/air dashing at times (you can see me iframe a bullet on the Junker fight) but opted to switch them out for higher damage on later fights. I did have a super close call on Prototype III, beating it right before its minion would have hit me. Curiously, the health bar on the Furnace Sentinel fight appears to be bugged.

Overall this is a pretty solid Metroidvania that allows you to go to any of the major areas in the order you please and there's a good number of optional bosses to tackle. One issue is that guns aren't really a significant damage boost - "better" guns let you use more gadgets but these don't provide big boosts either. I opted to stick with the stronger charge gun even if that left me one gadget shy of the max. I'm also not a huge fan of the flappy bird drone (it's not terrible, it just takes a bit to get the hang of it).
