gameplay5 positive mentions
story3 negative mentions
  • Unique boss rush gameplay inspired by Shadow of the Colossus with intense, creative bosses that provide challenging and engaging fights.
  • Strong atmospheric world design and art direction blending themes from Shadow of the Colossus and Evangelion, enhanced by a distinctive soundtrack and artistic inspirations.
  • Enjoyable open-world exploration with satisfying traversal mechanics, and well-crafted UI and design details that add to the immersion and vibe.
  • Control scheme and camera are problematic, with digital steering on analog sticks causing frustration and making aiming and movement difficult to coordinate.
  • Story and narrative cohesiveness weaken after an early plot event, leaving parts feeling vague or generic and reducing player motivation.
  • Some inconsistencies in difficulty spikes with uneven boss challenge progression, and limited soundtrack variety leading to repetitiveness.

    The gameplay is praised for its challenging and engaging boost mechanic, intense bullet hell boss fights, and smooth, satisfying ship controls that balance movement and shooting decisions. While the boosting mechanic adds depth in boss battles, it somewhat detracts from exploring the open world by diverting attention away from the scenery. Overall, the mechanics, combined with the game's unique style and inspirations, create an enjoyable and balanced experience.

    • “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 between 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, alongside the ship's frictionless movement with the dash that makes the gameplay 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.”
    • “The gameplay OST consists of 2 total tracks that don't change based on gameplay but rather just seem to toggle occasionally.”

  • story

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 17% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The story draws clear inspiration from Shadow of the Colossus and Evangelion, featuring a boss rush structure and thematic elements, but it becomes vague and less engaging after a key character's early death. Overall, the narrative lacks context and motivation, making it feel fragmented and less compelling despite its thematic ambitions.

    • “The story 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.”
    • “The story and the theme are, well, basically in the title.”
    • “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.”
    • “That story falls apart unfortunately in terms of being interesting.”

  • music

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    60% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 40% negative mentions

    The music in the game is generally well-received and fitting, creating a strong vibe, though some players find the limited variety and repetitive soundtrack somewhat tiring after a short time. Overall, the soundtrack complements the game but could benefit from more diversity.

    • “Cool game, cool style, nice mechanics, music on point (a bit more variety would be good), it's a vibe on its own!”
    • “Pretty good soundtrack.”
    • “Además, el soundtrack pega de diez.”
    • “Got tired of the soundtrack 1 hour in.”
    • “The gameplay OST consists of 2 total tracks that don't change based on gameplay but rather just seem to toggle occasionally.”
