So far I’m really digging this Metroidvania game. Even though it is in EA there is a fair amount of stuff to do. It also feels fairly unique even though there are a few places where comparisons to Hollow Knight are bound to occur. The tutorial area is very simple, but don’t let that fool you. By the time you get to the the 2nd or 3rd boss they are sponges!16 found this helpful
This game is among the worst metroidvania's i've ever played, it feels clunky to play due to floaty controls and input lag. The balance is atrocious with insane difficulty spikes followed by mind numbingly easy sections or vice verse. And the translation and story are laughable. I let myself be convinced to be buy this jank by the highly positive reviews. Most if not all of these reviews are chinese, so the translation bit does not apply to them. Still the actual gameplay is so bad that i'm baffled how this high score came to be. I normally don't quit a game before i've reached the credits but this one really pulls the skin from under my nails. It's not fun, it's not engaging it's just a frustrating mess all around. That doesn't mean there aren't any positives though, they're just massively outweighed by all the bad things that plague this game. Still i'll try to elaborate on the good and the bad so you can make an educated descision on wether or not this is for you. The good is mostly the visuals. Even though they look very basic and made with MS paint, it's so colorfull that it looks quite good in the end. Some of the music is also beautiful but there's so little of it that it g…14 found this helpful
Annoying music, flash game visuals. Quite a lot of dialogue to skip through at the start. Somewhat annoying spell system. Nah, not for me.4 found this helpful
I refunded this as I wasn't having fun, but at the point I was this is honestly more a boss rush game than an MV. There is almost no content in-between bosses. And the bosses have poor balancing. Not only do several teleport there is very little time to heal and their attacks hit like a truck (while having a LOT of hp themselves and no boss health bar) or even just to catch a breath. Also some of the worst contact damage I've seen. I've beaten some of the most difficult bosses in MV-land so it's not a skill thing, it's just poor design and balancing.
