What players say

Players note that the game is not a true metroidvania but a linear platformer with challenging jumps and boss fights. The wall jumping is widely criticized as frustrating, and checkpoints feel too spread out. Controls are smooth on Steam Deck, and the pixel art style and dark fantasy atmosphere are praised, though the story is considered mediocre and some have ultrawide monitor issues.
