How it feels
A slow, weighty struggle where every swing of your custom-forged blade demands commitment and punishes hesitation in a grim, stone-cold world.

What players say
Players praise the unique forging and directional combat but are split on the level design, calling it a metroidvania where hidden story paths and repetitive backtracking frustrate many. The early-game skeleton escort quest with a persistent pursuer and no fast travel is widely criticized, and some say the game overstays its welcome with repetitive content before the ending.
