[後半に日本語レビューあり] [h1]A Solid Hand-Drawn Kung Fu Fantasy Metroidvania[/h1] A 2.5D metroidvania action RPG where the last descendant of ancient kung fu warriors embarks on a multi-continent quest to thwart a traitor's ambitions. Set in the shadowed land of Speria, the story centers on a race to secure the three rings of the Triskelion. The game's structure is distinctive, blending a top-down overworld map with side-scrolling dungeon exploration. Random encounters occur while traversing the overworld, with battles unfolding in terrain-specific arenas. Inside dungeons, acquiring new skills unlocks revisits to earlier areas -- a design that draws from both classic JRPGs and metroidvanias. The next objective is always clearly marked on the map, a thoughtful quality-of-life touch. Combat centers on the Phantom Pillar, a massive chain-linked stone column.

A fun little Metroidvania. Combat is basic but serviceable. Definitely not the hardest game if you're even a bit experienced at platformers1 found this helpful
I don't mind losing because a game is difficult, but i do mind when its consistently unresponsive. I double jump nope doesn't register you died. I dash nope doesn't register you died. everything needs to be tightened up from the way the character moves to the actual controls. everything feels a little messy1 found this helpful
Awesome :)
Truly underbaked. Artwork sometimes clash, some character seems to not fit in the world and the free roam part of the game seems out of place in artwork and gameplay. The combat is good but because of performance issue I can't continue the game as the game lagged when there are many enemies in the map (not screen). Hope the dev deliver more polished game in the future.
Great game until the final level where idiotic jumping sections block the path to the boss. Poor game design when it really mattered.
