The game offers a nostalgic retro feel reminiscent of classic PlayStation 2 and Nintendo 64 games, appealing to fans of the genre.
Despite being developed by a solo developer, the game shows a lot of potential and effort, with smooth graphics and responsive developer support for bug fixes.
The gameplay is challenging and engaging, with a variety of bosses and enemy types that encourage exploration and different play styles.

The game suffers from clunky controls and sluggish gameplay, making it difficult to enjoy the combat experience.
Graphics and textures are often low quality, leading to a visually unappealing experience that feels outdated.
There are significant balance issues with character classes, particularly with the spellcaster, and the overall gameplay lacks the polish expected from a souls-like title.

The graphics of the game, developed by a solo creator, are generally considered below AAA quality, with many users noting low-resolution textures, blurry character details, and flat lighting that evoke a pre-2005 aesthetic. While some players find the graphics acceptable and smooth, issues like clipping, screen tearing, and mesh popping detract from the overall visual experience.

- “The graphics are not next-gen console quality, but they are not bad either.”
- “Playing on high graphics, everything looked low quality. Textures looked awful, the details on the characters were blurry, the lighting and shading were flat. It looked pre-2005; Halo: Combat Evolved looked better.”
- “I noticed in the underground lake a lot of bad clipping graphical issues with the water at times and just general screen tearing and mesh popping.”
- “You need to temper your expectations a bit; it is made by a solo developer and is certainly not AAA quality graphics.”
