What players say

Players are captivated by the visuals and combat, describing the boss fights as plentiful and demanding. They note the game is souls-like and can be tough, with some finding the story hard to follow while others praise its Chinese mythology. A common complaint is the inconsistent air walls and that the later chapters, especially chapter 6, feel undercooked or rushed.
