How it feels

A grim and punishing side-scrolling action RPG where precise combat explores a decaying, story-rich dark fantasy world.

What players say

Players praise its art and voice acting, calling it a solid soulsvania with tight combat and a strong story. Many note it is easier than most soulslikes. Reviews split on endgame pacing and some find minibosses repetitive. The game lacks dual-wielding and some skill trees feel locked behind level gates.
