What players say
6/10, honestly the music, mechanics and art of the game are top notch, but there are some design decisions on this game that make me irrationally angry. First why do you even have a health bar, why even upgrade it everything in the world one shot you outside of boss fights, if i died in a single hit and there wasn't a life system i would be okey with it. And there's opportunities to use it, there's no reason why...
Despite it being a little "niche", this game is GENUINELY one of the best indies i've ever played. It's not only beautiful but the story is rich (although a little confusing) and the soundtrack is fire. Gameplay is great, best 5 bucks ever spent fr
