History YMMV / AmidEvil

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47peFJiUWDI God Killer]] is a harrowing battle theme that will get your blood pumping in anticipation for the fight against the episode 5 boss.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SernBf9whR8 Aenigmata]] is a track full of epic synth goodness that really captures the mystic atmosphere of episode 6.

** Make no mistake, the Arcane Expanse is ''[[NintendoHard hard]]'', in big part due to being populated by very dangerous enemies. Among them, the crystal beast riders might be the deadliest. They have tons of health, and are fast, meaning they can quickly close the gap and bite your face off, while its rider fires projectiles similar to those of the powered Star of Torment (thankfully, these are not homing) that will put a very serious dent in your health if they connect. And after you kill the beasts, you have to deal with their riders, who aren't slouches either. In the Hexed Passage ([=E6M2=]) and the Circle ([=E6M3=]) they start to ambush you in groups, so make sure you save your Aeturnum for such special occasions.

** 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).

* 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.

* AwesomeMusic: Andrew Hulshult continues to deliver outstanding music, with this game allowing him to showcase his diversity:

* 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).

* 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 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 trsnslucent, 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.

* ScrappyMechanic: The only way to activate SuperMode is by the left mouse button, the same one for attacking. More than a few players have lamented this as it results in accidental activation of it, especially when you just cleared the area of enemies. This was mitigated with [[http://steamcommunity.com/games/673130/announcements/detail/1656636766782648325 Update 3]], as it will no longer activate when holding fire until your next.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AJcGpw1Swo Distilled Chaos]] is a tense industrial track, with some old-school synths sounding like something out of ''{{VideoGame/Unreal}}''.
