What players say

Players praise Damsel for its fast-paced action and comic book art style, but many are frustrated by the lack of native controller support, calling it unplayable without workarounds. Reviews split on level repetition and the two timers, with some enjoying the highscore and speedrun focus while others find the short levels boring.
