How it feels

A fast-paced, skill-based melee brawler where every slash and parry keeps you on edge, demanding quick reflexes and strategic adaptation against tough foes.

What players say

Players call this a short, free student-made soulslike with solid combat ideas but janky execution. Bosses have multiple phases and demand precise parries, though some find the hitboxes unfair. Reviews split on whether the AI-generated items ruin the atmosphere or are forgivable for a free game.
