gameplay5 positive mentions
grinding1 negative mentions
  • The game features a unique artistic style and atmosphere inspired by Shadow of the Colossus, Evangelion, and Baroque art, creating a mysterious and engaging world.
  • Boss battles are well-designed, intense, and varied, offering a challenging and satisfying experience especially for fans of boss rush gameplay.
  • The open world is vast and gives a feeling of player smallness, with elegant UI design and interesting mechanics like boosting that add depth to movement and combat.
  • Controls and camera are often criticized as frustrating, with digital steering on analog sticks, poor aiming due to camera movement, and unintuitive input mappings.
  • The story and narrative, while conceptually interesting, are perceived as vague, incoherent after key events, or underdeveloped, leaving some players feeling disconnected.
  • Environmental variety and world design feel limited or repetitive, with some later areas looking less natural and some players wanting more exploration elements or overworld hazards.

    Gameplay is praised for its challenging and engaging mechanics, blending intense bullet hell boss fights with smooth, mechanical ship movement inspired by Shadow of the Colossus. The boost mechanic adds strategic depth during combat but detracts slightly from open-world exploration by diverting attention away from the scenery. Overall, controls can be difficult but rewarding, with a satisfying balance of difficulty and polished, simple mechanics.

    • “Love the open world aspect with inspiration from Shadow of the Colossus, intense bullet hell bosses, mechanical movement to master, all around great game, especially considering the price.”
    • “Very few criticisms to give on the game: the boosting mechanic of timing extra boosts is fun and challenging, making movement in boss fights enjoyable while forcing the player to make conscious decisions of focusing solely on shooting versus movement; a very fun and engaging take on that dynamic.”
    • “In general, the difficulty is nice; there's a balance between dying in one hit and very telegraphed bullets, and alongside the ship's frictionless movement with the dash, the gameplay is interesting and fun.”
    • “I also dislike the boost mechanic, which forces you to stare at the bottom of the screen and ignore the interesting scenery.”
    • “I will say the boosting mechanic did take away from the open world navigation as instead of focusing on the terrain and taking in the varying landscapes of the game, I was looking down at the boost bar to move around faster through the world rather than looking around at the sights.”
    • “Gameplay was hard to control but when you manage the control it's very fun to play.”

  • music

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    43% positive mentions, 28% neutral mentions, 29% negative mentions

    The music is generally well-suited and contributes to the game's atmosphere, drawing comparisons to Shadow of the Colossus, though some find the soundtrack repetitive and limited in variety. Overall, the soundtrack complements the vibe despite its minimal track selection.

    • “Atmosphere and music are very Shadow of the Colossus-like.”
    • “Cool game, cool style, nice mechanics, music on point (a bit more variety would be good), it's a vibe on its own!”
    • “Also, pretty good soundtrack.”
    • “Got tired of the soundtrack 1 hour in and there are some annoying things with the controls and camera, but nothing that won't stop you from finishing it.”
    • “The gameplay OST consists of 2 total tracks that don't change based on gameplay but rather just seem to toggle occasionally.”

  • story

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    43% positive mentions, 14% neutral mentions, 43% negative mentions

    The story draws clear inspiration from Shadow of the Colossus and Evangelion, blending boss rush structure with thematic depth and distinct monster designs. However, it becomes vague and loses impact early on, particularly after a key character's premature death, leaving the narrative feeling fragmented and less motivating. Despite its edginess, the game's aesthetic and thematic elements offer a compelling space for artistic exchange.

    • “On the one hand, it clearly draws inspiration from Shadow of the Colossus with its boss rush structure and world design, as well as Evangelion's story, themes, and monster designs.”
    • “Story is vague; you're looking for a power on a war-torn planet.”
    • “Edgy story but the game's aesthetic is worth experiencing and playing.”
    • “And (spoiler warning) after your friend dies, which is far too early if you ask me, the story kind of falls apart, since you lack the context and motivation for your character.”
    • “Story is vague, you're looking for a power on a war torn planet.”
    • “The story falls apart unfortunately in terms of being interesting.”

  • graphics

    The game's graphics are praised for their appealing and efficient design, featuring a simple UI and attractive text aesthetics. However, some users find certain visual effects overly flashy or intense, which can be distracting. Overall, the aesthetic greatly enhances the experience despite occasional drawbacks.

    • “The game's aesthetic is worth experiencing, complementing an edgy story wonderfully.”
    • “Good graphic design with a simple and efficient UI, and great text aesthetics.”
    • “Although occasionally a bit too 'epileptic', the graphics contribute positively to the gameplay experience.”

    • “I enjoyed the atmosphere while looking for the bosses.”
    • “Atmosphere and music are very Shadow of the Colossus-like.”

  • grinding

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game heavily emphasizes grinding, requiring players to repeatedly defeat enemies to progress. This focus may feel repetitive and time-consuming for some players.

  • replayability

    Players feel the game’s replayability could be improved with the addition of a timed boss rush mode and more bosses to challenge.
