What players say
Players praise the unique stop-motion claymation visuals but are split on the gameplay. Many report persistent bugs, lag, and frustrating controls, while others enjoy the combat system and find the short length appealing. The game's middle section, playing as a kodama, is widely criticized as tedious.
