How it feels

A fast-paced beat 'em up where you fight skeletons and vampires while reciting prayers and using holy items to cleanse a village.

What players say

Players praise the grim atmosphere and unique combat that forces quick weapon switching against varied enemies, though some find the controls sluggish and the keybindings locked. The game is a love letter to Gogol's Viy mixed with Souls-like boss fights, but several reviews note it is not for the impatient.
