How it feels

A frantic, pixelated hack-and-slash where you chain attacks while battling demons through a supernatural hellscape.

What players say

Players praise the physics-based combat and flow state it creates, comparing it to Hotline Miami. The game is short, around 40 minutes, but has replayability through challenges and upgrades. Some find the second level a difficulty spike, and players warn about wrist or thumb strain in longer sessions.
