How it feels

A retro arcade-style platformer with pixel graphics and classic sword-and-shield combat against a vengeful witch's horde.

What players say

Players compare it to Rastan Saga and older Castlevania games, with simple combat and a shield block. The game is short, about six stages, but reviewers are split on difficulty: some find it too punishing due to knockback and instant death pits, while others see it as a decent challenge. Feedback on controls varies, with some calling them tight and others stiff.
