I tried my best to enjoy this game, as it looked super cool, and i love biomechanical designs, but sadly the game had too many glitches to be enjoyable. Often times the flashing red effects would not span the whole screen, and the window would change size. Certain Sprites had a rectangle surrounding them, breaking immersion, and I quickly was trapped in an empty void with only background screen effects. Many attack effects bugged, and it appeared certain elements were different resolutions, making for an unappealing look. Its a wonderful context but its bugs hold it back from being a game I would recommend to anyone.

Game recomended to be played by a controller, but the movement key didn't worked with my XBOX controller, only with mouse and keyboard. Kind of frustrating game. Better to watch the ending on Youtube.

A game that seems nice, until you realize that every time you die you go back to the beginning. I played the game and saw the save sign appear 3+ times! Then I died by accident, it happens. Then I find out that the save does nothing. And you have to start from the beginning! (And it also happened another time, not a random bug) In addition, Steam said that it is better to use a controller, so I took my DualSense controller and tried to start playing, and then I find out that even though I managed to press the button that was marked as A (I used X) I find that it is the only thing that works. And everything is marked by keyboard and mouse keys. Nice game, but I do not recommend it. There are much better games also for free.

The game itself isn't bad, but it's too trial and error, when you lose it doesn't save your recent progress and you have to start over. it wouldn't be a problem in itself but since the game is slow it's a bit tiring. I stopped playing after 20 minutes, but I'm leaving the positive vote just for encouragement
