How it feels

A fast, grindy, and self-aware action side-scroller that encourages farming and skipping story for pure combat.

What players say

Players are split. Some enjoy the grind, pixel art, and old-school feel, but most warn that development is abandoned and the story cannot be finished. Combat is criticized as shallow, just spamming attack with no combos or block, and enemies are often placed to hit the player unfairly.
