What players say

Players say VELASTER is a 2D souls-like that leans harder on parrying than dodging, with satisfying but punishing boss fights. The lack of a map and heavy backtracking divide opinion, some enjoy the exploration while others find it tedious. Many praise the core combat and level design but note rough edges in controls, animation frames, and platforming sections that feel out of place.
