How it feels
You rely solely on a shield to deflect powerful attacks and survive relentless boss battles in a ruined pixel-art kingdom.

What players say
Players enjoy the core parry mechanic but report many bugs, including not unlocking achievements, controllers not working, and respawning always at the start of the game rather than near the boss. The game is short, about an hour and a half, and some say it feels repetitive.
