Metal Gear Rising: Rarivengeance

Metal Gear Rising: Rarivengeance is a Nintendo Switch action platformer parodying Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. Rarity from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is now the player character and uses her hooves, telekinesis, and various melee and ranged weapons to carve up a dark army before it reaches and effortlessly destroys Equestria (unlike the show's villains, said army would immediately knock out Twilight and end the series early).

Controls
Left Control Stick - Walk.

B - Jump. Rarity can sprout her butterfly wings to double jump and then hover by holding B.

Y - Hoof attacks. Mash for a lightning kick with both hind legs. Hold and release to throw a Hadouken that hits one enemy 1-6 times depending on charge time. By holding Forward and pressing Y, Rarity will harden nanocrystals on her body to parry the attack. Do this just before the attack hits and she will then kick the enemy backwards.

X - Melee weapon. Each equipped weapon allows Rarity to perform a different set of combos by combining Hoof and Weapon strikes. Hold X to perform the current melee weapon's special attack. Hold Forward and press X to parry attacks with the weapon. Do this just before the attack hits and Rarity will perform a strong slash that dizzies the enemy.

A - Rarity will grab an enemy or projectile in front of her with her magic and automatically climb over obstacles. If she grabs an enemy, hold A to Force Choke him. After a successful grab (and letting go of A after a Force Choke), you can walk around while still magically holding the enemy/projectile. Press A again to throw the enemy/projectile towards the one you are currently locked on to. Kinda like Kirby's signature inhale.

L - Hold to gallop. While galloping, Rarity will graze small shots with her magic. During this run, press Y for a belly slide, B for a spin jump that does repeated damage, or X for a quick swing with your current melee weapon.

ZL - Blade Mode. The screen will shift to first-person view. Gradually uses Magic. If Rarity has at least one Magic bar full, she will do extra damage and time will slow down. During Blade Mode:

-Right Control Stick changes the cutting angle.

-Y performs a vertical strike.

-X performs a horizontal strike.

-After hitting the spot containing the enemy's heart or power core (indicated by a red square), press R to perform Zandatsu. Rarity will rip out said heart/core with her teeth and eat it, restoring her Health and Magic.

R:

-Hold to hide in a cardboard box. Stay out of the path of enemies, or they will knock the box over.

-Finishing move (if enemy is dizzy). At the end of the finisher, you can go into Blade Mode.

-Stealth kill (if you haven't been spotted).

ZR - Dodge. While sidestepping, Rarity will attack with her current melee weapon.

Minus - Toggles Raripper mode (all Magic bars must be full to activate it). Rarity will take less damage, cause more damage, and cut off body parts in one hit.

Plus - pause.

Arrow buttons - Change target.

Right Control Stick - Move camera.

Weapons
(All of them deflect small shots and cut apart rockets.)

Lightsaber: Hold and release X to perform Iaijutsu.

Twinsaber: Low damage, but has quick strikes a plenty. Hold and release X to throw the Twinsaber like a boomerang.

Street Sign: Slow but powerful. Hold and release X for a shockwave-creating overhead (Rarity won't flinch during it).

Frying Pan: Hold and release X to flip a hot sausage at an enemy.

Spear: Can only be used for thrusting, but has a long reach. Hold and release X to throw the spear.

Bowcaster: Hold and release X to fire an explosive energy arrow. Charging it increases its speed and damage.

Cloth Whip: Hold and release X to wrap an enemy and send it spinning into others.

Chillblade: Has a small chance to freeze enemies solid. Hold and release X to freeze the floor, causing enemies to slip.

Tiki Torch: May light enemies on fire for a damage-over-time effect. Hold X for a stream of fire.
