Unique and creative level design with varied and challenging stages and bosses.
Great retro-style art and gritty aesthetic combined with a strong, atmospheric soundtrack.
Responsive controls and satisfying gameplay mechanics, including strategic use of parrying and dashing.

First level is extremely difficult and frustrating, acting as a major barrier for many players.
Checkpoint system can be problematic, sometimes creating unfair respawn points and disrupting progress.
Lack of difficulty ramping; the game can feel overwhelmingly hard from the start with some unfair enemy placements and unclear hitboxes.
