The Many Monsters Of Bō: Path Of The Teal Lotus
FrameWork
Bō: Path Of The Teal Lotus is the debut game from Squid Shock Studios, who managed to successfully crowdfund it via Kickstarter. Full disclosure: I donated to that campaign myself.
The end result is a Metroidvania that not only looks beautiful, but also contains some brilliant ideas that combine traditional Japanese yokai with the mechanics and level design you’d expect from games in the genre. That’s what this video is all about.
If you want to play Bō: Path Of The Teal Lotus yourself, you have a few options. It’s available on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
