  • gameplay
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay in this metroidvania title is criticized for its imprecise controls and a confusing user interface, making it difficult to track equipment and navigate menus. While the fighting mechanics are generally straightforward and hitboxes are acceptable, the jump mechanic can be frustrating, detracting from the overall experience. Despite some atmospheric music, the overall gameplay is deemed unsatisfactory by users.

    • “Other than this, the fighting mechanics are pretty straightforward, with no complaints about hitboxes or i-frames.”
    • “The music seems to fit the atmosphere; the jump mechanic can be a bit frustrating at times, but it's just a matter of trying again.”
    • “The metroidvania genre has solidified tight gameplay with precise movements, but every dodge and every attack in this game feels off. The menus are even worse; it isn't really clear what you have equipped at any given moment (you can figure it out outside of the menu, but in the menu, it's super unclear).”
    • “The UI is terrible, the gameplay is poor, and the music sucks.”
    • “Some mechanics are frustrating.”
  • story
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is described as competent but somewhat convoluted, with elements typical of the metroidvania genre and some souls-like features. However, the English translation issues and challenging controls detract from the overall experience, making it difficult for players to fully engage with the narrative.

    • “The story is maybe a bit hard to follow, but this may be due to the fact that I've been playing late at night and not paying as much attention as I could.”
    • “Typical metroidvania-lite, find stuff and fight stuff, with some souls elements as well (big bosses, nonsense story, health, magic, and stamina, etc.) but they could use some work.”
  • music
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the music in the game receives mixed reviews; while some players feel it fits the atmosphere well, others criticize it for being overshadowed by repetitive sound effects. Despite the varied opinions, it appears that the music does not significantly enhance the gameplay experience for many users.

    • “The music seems to fit the atmosphere, the jump mechanic can be a bit frustrating at times, but it's just a matter of trying again.”
    • “The UI is terrible, the gameplay is poor, and the music is disappointing.”
    • “Music was fine, but I could have done without the constant thudding sound effect that accompanies almost everything you interact with.”
    • “The music seems to fit the atmosphere, but it can be overshadowed by other frustrating gameplay mechanics.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from poor optimization, leading to performance issues that detract from the overall experience.

    • “The game suffers from poor optimization, leading to frequent frame drops and stuttering.”
    • “Despite its potential, the optimization is lacking, making it difficult to enjoy the gameplay experience.”
    • “I encountered numerous performance issues due to subpar optimization, which detracted from my overall enjoyment.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players note that while grinding for leveling up is not a major issue, it does slow down the progression somewhat, impacting the overall pacing of the game.

    • “Not a showstopper, but it slows down the grinding for leveling up a bit.”
    • “The grinding feels tedious and repetitive, making it hard to stay engaged.”
    • “I find the grinding to be overly time-consuming, which detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.”
  • atmosphere

    • “The music seems to fit the atmosphere, creating an immersive experience that enhances the gameplay.”
  • graphics
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics are praised for their appealing art style and impressive backgrounds and scenery, although some users feel that the level layouts could be improved. Overall, the artistic direction is well-received.

    • “Although the level layouts could use some work, the backgrounds and scenery are great; the game as a whole has an appealing art style.”
    • “The pros of this game are the art style; I like the direction it's going.”
  • stability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users report significant stability issues, citing extremely buggy controls that detract from the overall experience and draw unfavorable comparisons to other games like Ender Lilies.
