How it feels

A fast, technical 2D fighter with tight controls, flashy combos, and a competitive edge, wrapped in an anime aesthetic and a dense fantasy narrative.

What players say

Players love the fast-paced fighting and character designs, but nearly everyone mentions the online is dead. The game has a high skill ceiling yet remains approachable for newcomers, and its Chronicle Mode is essentially a visual novel. Reviews also note the soundtrack is excellent and the game runs well on Steam Deck despite being listed as unsupported.
