How it feels

A punishing 2D side-scroller where cautious, deliberate swordplay and clever use of a fragile checkpoint device are your only hope against relentless fantasy foes.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art and addictive parry-focused combat, but warn it is punishing with minimal tutorials and a portable checkpoint that can be broken. Some report controller problems and a barebones UI, while others note it is short and rewarding once mastered.
