However, some reviews highlight significant drawbacks, including low-resolution visuals and poor optimization, which detract from the game's quality. Overall, while the visuals are a strong point for some, they are not enough to elevate the game above its competitors.

humor

The humor in the game is largely seen as misguided, with players finding irony in the "take no hit" achievement amidst a dark and punishing gameplay experience. Many reviewers feel that the humor falls flat, especially when compared to more successful titles like Hades, which offer a better blend of comedy and storytelling. Overall, the game's attempts at humor are perceived as poorly executed and out of place.
- “The most hilarious thing is the developers putting an achievement 'Take No Hit', when the whole scenario is so dark you get hit by traps without even seeing, and the final fight is basically impossible to avoid getting hit by the 1 damage boss's machinegun projectiles.”

The game's stability has been criticized for being buggy and frustrating, with players noting issues such as limited movement options and unfair enemy mechanics that detract from the overall experience. While it may appeal to some, the lack of polish and balance significantly impacts gameplay.
- “It's basically a dumbed down, more basic, more buggy, and more frustrating version of Hades. It might be fun for some people, but considering I can't move while attacking and can't dash over obstacles/enemies while they can float about and hit me through almost any object, I can't recommend the game.”
- “The game crashes frequently, making it nearly unplayable at times. I lost progress multiple times due to these stability issues.”
- “I encountered numerous bugs that disrupted my gameplay experience, including freezing and unexpected crashes that forced me to restart.”
