I enjoyed playing it quite a lot. But stay away from purple eggplant because it's like a drug!!!1 found this helpful
78/100 This game starts off rough and I had to force myself to continue playing after the first 2 hours. The first story act tries to teach the basics of the game but then struggles more and more to tell a gripping story. Defintely buy this game when it is on sale only. + Good graphics and very good performance on all settings + All around good music and atmosphere + Multiple weapons + skill trees to allow different builds + A couple custumisation options available later in the game + Many hidden optional bosses + Ingame map tells you the exact locations of hidden locations / breakable walls ec. + Plenty of unlockable abilities/spells to explore further & deeper + Multiple endings - Many of the ingame translations are really bad, personaly it felt like some sentences were translated by 5 different translation machines at the same time - I've collected every story hind, finished every sidequest, talked to every NPC, carefully read all books and honestly still have no idea what 70% of the story was actually about - Very little to none magic weapons & gear in early & mid game but arcane becomes by far the best playstyle at the late game - Later in the game one NPC called Drew gives…
It's a little rough around the edges. It was my second metroidvania. I had fun with it.
Not the best in the genre, but it's fine and uniquely mesmerising. Maybe that's the exterior design or an overall vibe. Still, combat animations should be enhanced with an impact frames more accurately, as there's no sence in hitting the target. Moderately difficult, yet learning curve is spiking early and the bosses are quite repetitive, could be better.
It's good. Boss designs are interesting, and they've got variety in weapons, armor, and skills to keep builds fun - though, honestly, I just maxed out a sword and chopped everything. Dodge skills keep you alive, but parry skills melt health bars. There's quite a few quests, but they do not hold your hand on these and you need to prioritize completing quests before killing bosses or you might lock yourself out. Managed to beat the game, but I'd probably have to do a new playthrough taking much more time to get the true ending and all the hidden side-bosses. If I've got complaints, I think the controls scheme is non-ideal. Double tap to dash, double tap to slide, rocking back and forth to use a weapon art - these movements, while simple enough, just don't come out as smoothly as you would like. There's a slight resistance where you can tell the game is trying to read your inputs but sometimes a dash will just jitter walking forwards instead, or a slide will end up as a roll. There's no difficult platforming in the game (maybe the devs realized this as well), but it means combat will never be as smooth as sticking with the basics of rolling and slashing.
