How it feels

A brisk, action-driven adventure where you take on enemies with straightforward combat.

What players say

Players praise the fluid, parry-focused combat and unique rotoscoped art, comparing it to 2D Sekiro. It is a compact metroidvania with more emphasis on combat than exploration, though some find bosses mixed and a few report cooperative mode kicks players on death.
