The gameplay features a challenging flying simulation with a wind mechanic that can detract from the experience, alongside tough boss battles that require mastery of various attacks. While some players appreciate the deep tactical elements and engaging atmosphere, others find issues like visual depth distracting and frustrating. Overall, the game caters to those seeking a hardcore experience with memorable NPCs and a compelling soundtrack.
“This has it all: memorable NPCs, deep tactical gameplay, a killer soundtrack, gorgeous, stylized atmosphere, and of course, a difficulty level worthy of a veteran of gaming's toughest series.”
“But if you want some hardcore flying simulation with 2 bosses, each of whom has 30+ different attacks (no joke) and who by the end kill you with 1 hit, if you want that kind of old-school gameplay - this is the game for you.”
“With that said, I was disappointed with the gameplay as I found the visual depth issue to be too jarring, which in turn made everything harder than it needed to be.”

“I found the grind to be excessively time-consuming, with little reward for the effort put in.”
