“The movement in this game is something that I felt was very promising but also ultimately underutilized. The game features wall running, hook mechanics, mid-air dashing, jump resets, and all kinds of weird platforming vibes.”

“So for the 'rogue-lite' gameplay, the dev made a decent system where you upgrade the abilities, stats, and change weapons as you progress through the game. It has some variety to it, but the way it ultimately interacts with the overall challenge of the game really did not matter in the end. It's so easy to just power creep the enemies if you know what you're doing; all these creative upgrades did not have their niche, just find one good ability and cheese the enemies.”

“I feel like the developer spent most of the time working on these rogue-lite mechanics when they really didn't add that much to the actual strategy other than spamming.”

“I have been following the game from the first day of early access. It had some really good ideas, but unfortunately, in its current state, the game is below what I would consider a 'serviceable' experience, with many camera issues, random glitches, bad platforming artifacts, occasional soft locks, and just overall chaotic level design with poorly designed sections.”

“There is still a lot to do here; enemies are very buggy, and overall the game is incredibly hard. I feel like I'm hitting a wall even at the first battle.”
