Saga of Sins

The stained-glass art style looks incredible and unique. Unfortunately, the actual platforming and combat feel super stiff and repetitive. It's a cool concept, but the gameplay doesn't quite keep up.

A story with religious themes in which you enter people's minds without their consent to help them "repent", cool. Themes aside, it's a basic af platformer with a basic story that only offers an interesting look, But the said look, combined with the way the animations play, the movement feels and the lighting ties everything together, ends up looking more ugly and tiring on the eyes than beautiful.

Saga of Sins is weird. A game with mediocre gameplay and strange mechanics, however the setting, atmosphere, and personality do the heavy lifting to deliver an interesting experience. The story is basically about bro Cecil (MC) coming back from the crusades only to find that his village is being ravaged by a plague. When talking with his "mentor" at the chapel, his mentor tells him that in order to get rid of the plague, he has to enter the head of the sinners and get rid of the sins. It's strange, but each villager's head is a level, and they commit different sins, so it's entertaining. I also love Cecil's voiceover, his accent and how he develops and questions his faith through the game are super credible. The biggest strength is its sense of style. Everything is glass stained, the village is completely decrepit, and the enemies are biblical entities. I also love how each sin has its own visual style and mechanics in the levels, like "greed" spawning coins that detract from your counter or rage being enemy-infested and harder than other levels, for example. Some boss fights are very fun too, like not all just kill stuff, some are puzzles or platforming challenges. It's creativ…

Recommended: 7.5/10 If you're looking for a short but stylish action-platformer, Saga of Sins is a solid choice, especially on sale. Saga of Sins succeeds because of its incredible visual style and enjoyable action-platforming. Transforming into different demons is fun, and each sin-themed level has its own personality. However, once you've seen the core mechanics, the game doesn't introduce many new ideas, making the second half feel repetitive. The story has enough twists to stay engaging, but the game's biggest strength is undoubtedly its presentation rather than its gameplay depth. If you're expecting something like Hollow Knight or Blasphemous, you may be disappointed. If you're after a short, polished action game with a unique aesthetic, it's worth your time.

I got the game for 1$ from a random steam key and for the price i got it is it pretty good. I like the story and how the devil talk to you, the bosses where pretty nice, overall it was a beautiful game. My only complaint is that the combat got repetitive but it is a short game.
