Gameplay in this title is marked by a steep learning curve due to awkward controls and minimal tutorials, leading to initial frustration. However, players appreciate the unique mechanics and variety of content, particularly the boss rush gameplay loop and the ability to experiment with different playstyles. While the game shows potential with its creative elements, it suffers from clunky UI, scarce item distribution, and some mechanics that feel unintuitive or underdeveloped.
“Although the lack of information can be a source of frustration sometimes, it's also a lot of fun experimenting with the huge variety of mechanics and equipment.”
“There are secret mechanics abound, events that happen at certain times, and a world that feels alive thanks to the movement and spawning of its creatures.”
“The many abilities that you can acquire from devouring creature hearts allow for some truly unique playstyles, even improving non-combat gameplay in some cases and allowing you to better traverse a level.”
“Tutorial elements are minimal - a big part of gameplay is figuring out how everything works.”
“There's no music, the UI is clunky, the item distribution is weird and a bit too scarce, many things don't really work like I'm certain they're intended to (certain items that you can pick up, specifically), the gameplay feels slower than it should be.”
“Clunky as hell, unnecessary mechanics.”
