A warrior bound by fire, haunted by betrayal and yet unbroken by chains.Through haunted forests, drowned citadels, frozen palaces and forgotten deserts, you carve a path not only through steel and stone - but through memory, betrayal and weight of a dying world that does not wish to be saved.It is not just about survival but what remains when the flames die.

You can watch a video review here: https://youtu.be/NtSxyzvyyOY For those who don't want to watch the video: Playtime: 9 hours (story completed) Completion: 90% (A bug kept me from going for 100%) Pros: - Story-wise, this is an engaging and straightforward tale of revenge presented in, both, beautifully rendered, semi-animated cut-scenes as well as pixel-perfect scripted sequences, always accompanied by incredibly solid voice-acting that delivers some interestingly lyrical conversations and soliloquies. - The game’s world is absolutely beautiful to look at, courtesy of the fantastic pixel art style utilized to bring it to life. - Great music. - Platforming is, unconditionally, the central foundation of the game as well as one of its most entertaining aspects, though whether you’ll fully enjoy it or not will largely depend on your tolerance for frustration at times. For starters, the vast majority of the map is actually comprised of platforming gauntlets that boast varying challenge levels, and said challenge is mainly connected to the game’s elemental system. More specifically, as you progress through the story you’ll gain access to a total of four different elemental forms…4 found this helpful
I had high hopes for this game. The idea of this being a mix of ALTA and DMC sold me to back it on Kickstarter, but this game has been boring to me. The rooms a empty at times, the platforming is way to unforgiving and combat is not as fun as I imagined. I also had several crashes in the 3 hours I've played. I hope the devs fix the crashes, but for now I can't recommend this game.3 found this helpful

I've read that the game wasn't the greatest when it first launched, but I'm having a blast with it.2 found this helpful
This game is super fun. When it first came out there were a few bug issues, but after they fixed it, it's been enjoyable ever since.1 found this helpful
This was a mix between frustrating, rewarding, fluid, and fun... This game sucked 30+ hours out of me which definitely reflects my poor motor skills when it comes to the precision puzzle platforming that this game definitely has it's fair share of. The gameplay is fun, and varied, and totally worth a play, but I tried picking it back up just now after a few weeks of completely forgetting the mechanics, and I pretty much have to relearn everything. That's one problem with this game, but if you have the time to just grind out the game in a reasonable amount of time, this game is definitely worth it. I hope to find time to replay and finally follow through in the future and recommend anyone who is into Metroidvania or precision platformers or puzzle platformers to definitely give this game a try. It's getting unreasonably penalized for a $15 action platformer.1 found this helpful
