How it feels

A grim, hand-drawn world of post-apocalyptic Japan where deliberate combat and non-linear exploration reward persistence.

What players say

Players say the game is an unfinished side-scroller held back by delayed controls and artificial boss difficulty. It was originally meant to be much larger but the developer lost Kickstarter funds, what remains is about two hours of linear combat. A few players enjoy the crunchy parry system and persistent blood effects, but most agree the trailers show 90% cut content.
