What players say

This metroidvania makes a decent first impression, and in hindsight, I liked most of the background scenery and the bad ending of the story. However, the game is significantly held back by its generic aesthetics, clunky combat and a very unfair final boss that leaves you bitter after finishing your playthrough. There are no spectacle fights in this game, cutscenes are not skippable and accessories are way too...
