History YMMV / AmidEvil

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIw0eXPKigQ Aetheres]] is a hauntingly beautiful track starting with a somber-sounding piano before building into a grandiose composition of choir and orchestration. Perfectly encapsulates the Champion's journey so far while building up the dire atmosphere of the road ahead.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SernBf9whR8 Aenigmata]] is a track full of epic synth goodness that really captures the mystic atmosphere of The Arcane Expanse.

** Pretty much any enemy in the Solar Solstice is a candidate, but among them the shielded spearmen stand out. The spears they throw at you not only deal moderate damage on impact, they stick to you for a while, and since they're ''on fire'', they will continue to deal damage before disappearing. Also, their shields aren't for show, they will actually reflect most projectiles you fire at them.

** The Astral Equinox has the lowly grunts. While they're no threat on their own, their insane speed means they can quickly close the gap while you're busy frying bigger fish, and their hits can shave off a good portion of your health. Getting cornered by them means a swift death, especially in higher difficulties.
** The Domain of the Sentinels features amorphous, flying blobs of flesh covered in tentacles and eyes. What makes these enemies annoying are their homing shots. They're fast, pack quite a punch and they're translucent, meaning they can be hard to spot if you're distracted by other enemies. Prioritize killing these first.
** The Sacred Path has these flying giant stone heads, which are by far the most dangerous enemy in the episode. They're surprisingly fast, breathe flames which can deplete your health in seconds and have the nasty habit of ambushing you in groups. If they surround you, it's a one way ticket to your last quicksave.

** Where do we even begin with The Forges? Again, every single enemy in there has the potential to ruin your day (which, combined with the MalevolentArchitecture makes The Forges [[ThatOneLevel That One Episode]]), but the nail spitters deserve special mention. They're slow, and their attacks have a quite short range, but they're basically a walking almost-InstantDeathRadius in higher difficulties. They also have enough health to withstand 3-4 planets to the face. Encountering more than one at the same time means you're in ''big'' trouble unless you have ammo for the Aeturnum (which thankfully, isn't uncommon in that particular episode).

* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: Despite being a homage to the 90's, the game makes good use of modern technology. The usage of lighting, pixelated textures, weapon sprites that blend excellently with the game, combined with the rather colorful locales results in a fairly striking look.[[note]]Yes, we said weapon ''sprites''. Those are not 3D models, but normal- and material-mapped pixel work with carefully done animations and design to hide this fact, making it one of the few games to attempt this and succeed in the illusion if you don't know ahead of time.[[/note]]

* ScrappyWeapon: Defied. Every weapon in the game is useful to some degree. Even the less damaging weapons, such as the Staff of the Azure Orb, have utilities that make them invaluable even when more powerful weaponry is available. Even the basic melee attack, the Axe of the Black Labyrinth, isn't useless, as it does more damage than many of your earlier ranged weapons with a single strike.

** AuthorsSavingThrow: Mitigated even more in [[https://steamcommunity.com/games/673130/announcements/detail/1687043580905344324 Update 4]], which added the option to activate said SuperMode with an alternate bind (Although WordOfGod warns this is not how the game is meant to be played).

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_q7FhWEtF1M False Prophets]] is an ambient track that builds with drums over the secons half, getting you ready to slay some enemies.
