Strong inspiration and atmosphere reminiscent of Shadow of the Colossus and Evangelion, offering a unique blend of exploration and boss fights.
Engaging and creative boss battles with challenging mechanics and interesting movement dynamics involving boosting and frictionless ship controls.
Artistic and design elements are well executed, with good world design, UI, and immersion that reflect the developer's passion and attention to detail.

Controls and camera system are frustrating, featuring digital steering on analog sticks and a chase camera that complicates aiming and navigation.
Boost mechanics sometimes detract from exploration and can complicate movement, particularly in long-distance travel and open world navigation.
Storyline loses impact after early plot points with weak character motivation and limited depth, reducing emotional engagement for some players.

The gameplay is praised for its engaging, challenging boss fights, smooth and mechanical movement, and balanced difficulty, offering fun and satisfying mechanics inspired by Shadow of the Colossus. However, some users find the boost mechanic detracts from exploring the open world by distracting attention to the boost bar rather than scenery. Overall, the game delivers a unique and enjoyable experience with well-handled controls and thoughtful design.
- “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 from this game.”
- “In general, the difficulty is nice; there's a balance within you dying in one hit and the very telegraphed bullets, that alongside the ship's frictionless movement with the dash 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.”

The story draws clear inspiration from Shadow of the Colossus and Evangelion, featuring a boss rush structure and thematic elements tied to a war-torn planet. However, it becomes vague and loses impact after an early pivotal event, leading to weak character motivation and an overall less engaging narrative. Nonetheless, it offers a thematic exploration aligned with its title.
- “It very 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.”

The music in the game is generally praised for fitting the vibe and style well, though some users find the soundtrack repetitive and lacking variety, with only a few tracks that toggle rather than dynamically change during gameplay.
- “Cool game, cool style, nice mechanics, music on point (a bit more variety would be good), it's a vibe of its own!”
- “Also, pretty good soundtrack.”
- “Además, el soundtrack pega de diez.”
- “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.”
