What players say

Players praise the old-school challenge and local co-op, noting the abundant checkpoints soften the frustration. Many compare the difficulty to Dark Souls, but opinions split on the controls: some find them clunky, others say they require timing and precision. Traps are the main threat, with spikes causing particular misery.
