The gameplay features a fun perfect dodge mechanic that enhances combat, especially given the limited healing options. However, while the gameplay is generally acceptable and complemented by decent voice acting, it is ultimately hindered by poor performance.
“The perfect dodge mechanic is a fun addition, considering you only get 2 healing pots in the beginning.”
“The gameplay is engaging and offers a variety of challenges that keep you on your toes.”
