How it feels

You quickly shoot and slash your way through colorful 2D stages, pausing to capture demons from broken shields and summon them as allies; the pace is bright and breezy even when fights get busy.

What players say

Players praise the deck-building and creature-collecting combat but point out missing features like keybinding and co-op saving, overly long levels, and a crash bug that can erase progress. The story ends on a cliffhanger, and several cutscenes lack audio. Reviews also note that late-game enemies carry multiple color shields, making capture tedious, and that the many side activities feel grindy.
