  • Well-designed maps encourage rewarding exploration with secrets and upgrades, featuring a pleasing mix of dungeon crawling and open zones.
  • Unique enemy animations, humorous writing, and a distinctive art style add personality and soul to the game, making encounters interesting despite limited enemy variety.
  • The game suffers from jank and bugs, including inconsistent combo inputs, occasional attack lock-ups, and platforming collision issues that can hinder gameplay.

  • gameplay

    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is praised for its variety of uniquely designed weapons with distinct mechanics and upgrades, offering fluid and responsive controls that enhance the overall fun and pacing. While some bosses may feel less challenging, the game provides enjoyable build choices and a modernized, engaging experience with a strong art style and humorous elements. However, a few users feel it could use further polishing to feel fully complete.

    • “It has a lot of weapons, but I don't mean reskins or anything like that. Every weapon is different, with its own mechanics, combos, and even upgrades that change or add to the moveset. Every time I found one, it was a joy to see how it worked.”
    • “Overall, this is a gem, a lot of work and effort. Almost all enemies have unique game over animations, there's a lot of humor with the story and the mechanics. Apart from some decisions on a few bosses, this is a really fun and well-paced game.”
    • “The gameplay is fluid and responsive, the music is endearing and captivating (we even get musical soup as our bonfires), and the overall art design is a visual feast to explore in terms of aesthetic and colour palette.”
    • “I'm not sure where to go if I want to re-read something I picked up, because some of it seems to change the gameplay, but I don't know what.”
    • “Shadow Tower Abyss if it was released on Nintendo 64 and had air juggle mechanics and the world's most janky horse for some reason.”
    • “[*]modernized gameplay.”

  • music

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music is generally endearing and captivating, featuring unique jingles for items and creative elements like musical bonfires. However, audio balancing issues sometimes make the music nearly silent while some attacks are overwhelmingly loud, and a boss theme's similarity to another game's music can feel jarring. Overall, the soundtrack adds charm but has inconsistencies in volume and originality.

    • “The gameplay is fluid and responsive, the music is endearing and captivating (we even get musical soup as our bonfires) and the overall art design is a visual feast to explore in terms of aesthetic and colour palette.”
    • “The rest is all original music, and you even get a unique jingle for each type of item you find, so that's cool.”
    • “I will say, the first boss having music that is nearly identical to the Demon Souls theme, albeit with a few missing notes and a key change, felt jarring to me, but that was the only track so far I've heard.”
    • “Audio balancing is absolutely all over the place; music is nearly silent while some attacks are deafeningly loud.”
    • “Music and combat are pretty janky, which makes some moments unintentionally hilarious.”
    • “The first boss's music is nearly identical to the Demon's Souls theme, but with a few missing notes and a key change, which felt jarring.”

  • graphics

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game features a beautiful and captivating art style with a rich color palette that enhances the aesthetic experience. While the graphics are generally enjoyable and the gameplay feels fluid, some elements like low-quality maps and a messy UI detract from the overall polish. Users appreciate the unique visual design but feel the game may still need refinement.

    • “Fun mechanics, organic controls, love the art style.”
    • “The gameplay is fluid and responsive, the music is endearing and captivating (we even get musical soup as our bonfires) and the overall art design is a visual feast to explore in terms of aesthetic and colour palette.”
    • “Beautiful art style.”
    • “UI/menu is a bit of a mess, and the maps are low quality, not really about the art style which I do like, but seeing seams on the ground.”

  • humor

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is well-crafted and consistently present, with unique and amusing game over animations for almost all enemies and a funny story and mechanics. Some moments, including the janky music and combat, add unintentional comedic value, contributing to the game's charm and enjoyable pacing.

    • “Overall, this is a gem, a lot of work and effort, like almost all enemies have a unique game over animation, a lot of humor with the story and the mechanics. Apart from some decisions on a few bosses, this is a really fun and well-paced game.”
    • “There is a lot of humor in the story and mechanics, making the gameplay experience both entertaining and engaging.”
    • “Music and combat are pretty janky, which leads to some pretty hilarious moments.”

  • stability

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is compromised by certain buggy or overly precise weapon combos and inputs, causing occasional frustration. While generally recommendable at full price, players may encounter jankiness and bugs in some areas.

    • “I mentioned above that some weapon combos and inputs can be either buggy or far too precise; it was bad enough that I actively avoided the few that had this issue.”
    • “All that is to say, I'd highly recommend this at full price, but it is janky and buggy in places.”

  • story

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is praised for its humor, unique touches like distinct game over animations for almost every enemy, and well-paced progression. Despite some questionable boss design choices, it remains engaging and entertaining overall.

    • “Overall, this is a gem, a lot of work and effort, like almost all enemies have a unique game over animation, a lot of humor with the story and the mechanics. Apart from some decisions on a few bosses, this is a really fun and well-paced game.”

    The game offers high replayability, comparable to the original Dark Souls, encouraging multiple playthroughs.
