What players say
Legitimately a fantastic metroidvania. Endless secrets to uncover that inspire you to revisit rooms and look at them a different way. I haven't played a game that makes backtracking this layered and rewarding in a very long time. Surprisingly large amount of content. Highly recommended
The game is good. It's fairly hard, everything hits you like a track, all rooms are full of enemies and environmental hazards, and there is almost no way to heal up after taking damage. Which on its own (fair challenge) is good. BUT the gimmick of the game is that you start from the very beginning (location) of the game after each death. The amount of backtracking its create is RIDICULOUS. There is a few shortcuts...
