Budget metroidvania (in a good way). Bought this on sale expecting nothing of value, got a hidden gem instead. Pros: - Fairly tight controls & combat - Fairly good map design & length - Okay combat customization (weapons, accessories, and skills) Cons: - The title, seriously it is very generic and uninspiring - Lack of story, just a dialogues here and there but doesn't give bigger picture for the story (if any) - Lack of art direction, looks like the game created with stock assets bought on unity asset store or something that give amateurish and cheap visuals (it is) - Uninspiring BGM, probably stock assets as well Neutral: - Game system basically metroidvania with souls-like influence (stamina bar, parry, losing currency upon death) but it doesn't give much depth, it works but thats about it Although I give it much more cons than pros I still recommend it since the devs get the core design right for metroidvania game (combat & exploration) and price it accordingly all things considered. Good value especially when on sales.

This dev is consistent to say the least. They seem to use a grab bag of 3D assets that don't always look like they should be in the same game, and the story line is pretty basic, but combat is fun with snappy controls that keep me coming back for more. As long as you know what to expect it's a fun game. Similar in style to 3000th Duel, but much easier.

Im usually not a fan of Metroidvanias but this one got me hooked. Loved the combat and upgrade systems!

2 sentences could define this game: [b]A great nothing-burger[/b] [b]2 steps forward, 1 step back[/b] To explain the first - this game has almost no story whatsoever, almost no puzzles or quests or goals inciting your way forward. Levels are generic. Enemies are quite good. Now, the second - it has many great updates over past metroidvanias, like: - no damage from touching enemies, you don't have to time guards, you can destroy enemy projectiles (even with dash), you can move with charged attack but it also kept some: - health potions take long to apply, you have to stay still using potions and attacks, save points are far from bossfights, quackload of boring unnecessary leveling options, few portals Also, it seems like there is a boss behind every corner. All of them are visually quite good, but very identical one to another in their fighting pattern. Overall, this game has some upgrades and fighting is smoother and feels better than in other metroidvanias. But beside that it is a barren field, no feature making it outstanding. 7.5/10

I'm not a hard core gamer, and I'm often too tired to play hard core boss fights. This game's default difficulty is like tailored made for me. Perfect metroidvania. Not too easy, not too hard. Combat has a good flow. Platforming is easy but still beats 3D action games with constant running. I fell in love with this one.

Whoooa new update, game is sick
