What players say
PEAK the game is amazing!!! it was such a wonderful experience playing it, especially in the coop. gameplay, music, graphics, atmosphere - all of it was PEAK. i personally liked how differently you created every boss without changing the core mechanics of the game. this game absolutely deserves more popularity than it has now, and definitely goes to my all-time favorites. thank you so mush for creating such a piece...

I liked playing this game. Artstyle and music are amazing. Combat feels good, but with caveats. I like the concept of bosses, but some of them just doesn't feel right in particular moments. SPOILERS AHEAD YOU ARE BEING WARNED I want to talk about 3 bosses in particular, where the concept of a cool boss outweighted the balance of this boss. 1.Grandmaster. Honestly, i really like this boss, he has a tonn of charisma...
Favorite soulslike game i've played. Respawning right infront of each boss to minimize backtracking felt so nice and kept me engaged the entire time. My wife an I beat it on co-op and the fact we were having fun the whole time was a great experience! Being able to play tryhard games with her is rare but the gameplay was so great we spent 7 hours on the second boss and still kept coming back! Fun world building...
