How it feels

A punishing but fair souls-like action RPG with tight, skill-based combat and a dark fantasy atmosphere, designed for both solo and local co-op play.

What players say

Players describe it as a straightforward 2D souls-like with serviceable parry-focused combat and lots of weapons and armor. The game is relatively easy for souls veterans but can be brutal due to enemy placement and instant-death pits. Some note it resembles older flash games, while others praise its linear level design and local co-op option.
