Binding of Isaac Souls-like, basically. Feels very solid, like it was constructed with a clear vision in mind. Fun and cute and occasionally difficult, though much less so than is traditional in the genre. Definitely worth a shot if you like bullet hells and RPGs2 found this helpful
Good souls indie fun2 found this helpful
A wonderful hand-drawn dark fantasy game, like Our Darker Purpose or Don't Starve1 found this helpful
This is a great take on the souls like genre, and a hidden gem that should not be overlooked, particularly if you are into bullet hell games. The story while simple is really well put, and I enjoyed the side quests. The combat is satisfactory and all the charms/trinkets add plenty of variety and choices. Props to you for making this game as a solo developer, I'm looking forward to your next projects.1 found this helpful
Protip: You can level up at statues by interacting with the statue to open the menu and then swapping to the stats page. Despite tutorialising every other gameplay element, the game never tells you this.1 found this helpful
Tbh I thought this would be a smaller game, I was surprised how much there is to it! I do find the controls a bit of a struggle but it might be a me thing, since I mainly play with controller. Still, Story and Gameplay was really fun! Might go back to get a better ending because uhmm.. let's just say I shouldn't have abandoned a friend :'D Definitely a hidden gem!1 found this helpful
