What players say

Players praise the comic book art, Taiwanese folklore setting, and satisfying combat with a weapon-stealing mechanic. The game is short, around 7-10 hours, and easy even on harder modes. Some players note controversy over the developer adding political messages, with a few finding it off-putting.
