gameplay5 positive mentions
  • Smooth, fluid, and polished combat and movement mechanics, including enjoyable integration of abilities like dash, wall jump, and glide.
  • Beautiful and vibrant 2D artwork with strong art direction, memorable characters, and atmospheric soundtrack supporting exploration and combat.
  • Good world-building and map design with useful features like save shrines, progressive map uncovering, and quality of life improvements over similar Metroidvanias.
  • Some mechanics like jumping feel off or heavy, lack of i-frames on dash, and a poorly implemented blink mechanic diminish combat fluidity and player control.
  • Enemy placement and difficulty spikes in sequences such as instant death chase segments can be frustrating without sufficient checkpoints.
  • Limited current content in early access with a somewhat vague story and confusing shop descriptions, making progression and strategy less clear.

  • gameplay

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 20% neutral mentions, 30% negative mentions

    The gameplay is fast-paced and enjoyable, featuring a satisfying dash mechanic that many find preferable over the blink mechanic, with some suggesting adding invincibility frames to dashing. It draws clear inspiration from Hollow Knight but improves accessibility through well-placed save shrines. Overall, the core gameplay is solid and engaging, with challenging fights that fit the metroidvania style.

    • “The physical gameplay is very much Hollow Knight inspired, but from what I can tell they did a much better job than Hollow Knight of giving you save shrines throughout the map and at key locations.”
    • “I know this is early access so there's plenty more to come, but the core gameplay here is really good and I'll definitely be playing more of this.”
    • “The gameplay feels great and is fast (once you get the dash).”
    • “If you ask me, drop the blink mechanic, and give i-frames to dashing.”
    • “Plus, either eliminate the blinking mechanic, or just allow i-frames with dashing!”
    • “Some of the fights take some time to learn the mechanics, but that's all metroidvanias.”

  • story

    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    78% positive mentions, 11% neutral mentions, 11% negative mentions

    The story is generally praised for being interesting, engaging, and well-integrated with the game's world and characters. While some find it solid and compelling, a few users mention it can be somewhat unclear or foggy. Overall, the narrative adds positively to the game experience.

    • “Incredible game, beautiful art, cool story and not too hard but not too easy either.”
    • “I love the story of the game and the characters are so fun and lovable.”
    • “The story is actually pretty interesting and the world is cool.”
    • “Solid game but foggy story.”

  • graphics

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    88% positive mentions, 12% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The graphics are praised for their vibrant 2D artwork and strong art direction, capturing a nostalgic 90s vibe with detailed character designs and a visually engaging post-apocalyptic world. The game's aesthetic, especially the anthropomorphic characters and royal cat theme, is both unique and well-executed, enhancing the overall exploration experience.

    • “The game looks gorgeous, with vibrant 2D artwork and a mysterious underworld that’s a joy to explore.”
    • “Art direction is strong, the world building is interesting to uncover even if it’s not anything new (post-apocalyptic world). The game has nailed the royal cat aesthetic to a tee, and it’s very cool to see the way all these anthropomorphic species are integrated into the fallen world, with cats being clearly the ruling class, rhinos as martial servants, owls as magicians and engineers, etc.”
    • “I like the art style a lot; it gives off some older 90's style vibes and I love it.”

  • music

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The music features a haunting, atmospheric score reminiscent of Hollow Knight, with sound effects that effectively enhance both calm exploration and intense combat. The soundtrack complements the game's fluid combat and charming boss fights, creating an immersive audio experience.

    • “The soundtrack is atmospheric and the sound effects fit perfectly, supporting both the calmer exploration moments and the more chaotic fights.”
    • “The musical score features a kind of haunting melody reminiscent of Hollow Knight.”
    • “The combat is very fluid, the boss fights with cat-like creatures are engaging, and the original soundtrack is good.”

    The game delivers a tense and unforgiving emotional experience, requiring precision and perfection due to instant death from any contact with enemies or hazards. This high-stakes challenge creates intense feelings of frustration and pressure.
