What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players praise the game's charming art style, pleasant music, solid metroidvania gameplay, and effective pacing, with many highlighting it as a standout in the genre. However, common criticisms include limited variety across its four stages that creates repetitive level design, lack of combat variety with only a few overpowered spells and underutilized tools, minimal storytelling, and missing difficulty scaling that makes boss fights trivial on repeated runs.

Deeper and more clever than I was expecting.1 found this helpful
One of the BEST games I've played. And by far my best rougelite/metroidvania If you like mario odyssy: Play it If you like Hollow Knight: Play it If you like stardew valley: Play it If you enjoy a fun game: Play. It. And while you're at it, buy the soundtrack. It's better than most games I've played.1 found this helpful
This game turned out to be hella fun. it was a bit strange at the beginning, but it does gets fun. One thing that should be improved, is the entrance to the town, its camouflaged by the altar where you respawn after dying. you need to get off the altar then press up.... took me way too many runs to realize it.
good game, i love it. Simple story and good gameplay also please add sequel for her upcoming adventure since she's going to leave the village.
fun combat and farming system
60 FPS 4K on avarage PC. Great at anything it does. A lot better graphicaly than the compared games of its genre. Overall a great game, I think I will play a lot of hours into it.
