Okay I'll bite, what the hell is this game? Why does the protagonist act like a wannabe boss beach, and why do they treat men like weaklings? This game SUCKS! Pure feminist woke trash...don't buy this crap. Not even when it's on sale. You'll thank me later. Don't make the same mistake I made. I immediately refunded the game. I don't care if it was for chump change, this game pissed me off THAT much. Who made this hot garbage? Ughhh, friggin' terrible game...

If you play this game, look up a playthrough. This game doesn't tell you anything so it wastes your time.

I dunno, maybe the tutorial level just gave me a poor first impression - I didn't have any good attitude towards the game while playing. Combat is really spongey - with heavy reliance on just emptying your meters every time they build up. There's some moves you can do with basic combat, but they just pale against the health melting effects of your sword abilities and spell bombs. The charge attack being the primary focus to break shields, followed by spell/sword combos - it just felt tiresome after constantly repeating it. And why wouldn't I - it worked every time. Story is...whatever - typical doomsday, messiah complex BS. Sorta felt like the exaggerated anime style in the cutscenes undercut the gravity in mood. You just can't feel grief when the character has a single big teardrop hanging off their eyes. The open world map with the floating islands was an interesting concept. I just felt the execution lacked depth. The dungeons always felt so empty for some reason. And the underverse, or whatever it was called, is only ever used to reach islands? Really? Nothing interesting inside the mirror dimension? Oh well. Very shallow metroidvania. Maybe check it out on sale. ---- R…

What absolute nonsense. Spent 20 minutes after the tutorial wandering an obtuse map (you get an airship and can immediately fly to like, 10 different locations, EXCEPT they're all skill locked so you gotta guess which one to go to first) and after 20 minutes I finally MAYBE got the right location, and then? Garbage platforming and three whole one-tap enemies. Do not.

A game for metroidvania fans with some unique mechanics and intense combat system. The difficulty gets insane on Vicious but hey if You are a completionist go right ahead game is worth it.
