The game features a highly customizable combat system with a wide variety of skills and builds, allowing players to experiment and find their preferred playstyle.
The art style, music, and overall aesthetic are beautifully crafted, creating an engaging atmosphere that enhances the gameplay experience.
Despite being developed by a single developer, the game offers a substantial amount of content, including a satisfying exploration system and a compelling narrative that resonates with players.

The game can be overly easy, with dominant strategies that allow players to breeze through encounters without much challenge, even on higher difficulties.
Translation issues are present, making it difficult to fully grasp the story and some gameplay mechanics, which can detract from the overall experience.
Exploration can feel linear and lacks the depth of traditional Metroidvania games, as progression is often tied to completing main quests rather than acquiring new abilities.

The game's story, centered on the protagonist Dew's journey of compassion and redemption against a backdrop of corruption, is intriguing but hampered by poor translation and localization, making it difficult for players to fully engage with the narrative. While some players appreciate the deeper themes and emotional depth, many find the text-heavy delivery and abstract language challenging to follow, leading to a mixed reception overall. Despite these issues, the story complements the gameplay mechanics and has garnered praise for its emotional resonance among players.
- “It follows the journey of Dew, a protagonist whose mission goes beyond defeating enemies and instead leans into themes of compassion, redemption, and the restoration of a world plagued by corruption.”
- “The story begins with a simple premise of fighting back against the black beasts that threaten the realm, but as the adventure progresses, it becomes clear that the narrative has deeper undertones.”
- “The story itself complements the mechanics rather than overshadowing them.”
- “Story is interesting but not great; translation and localization could also use a bit more work. You can get the idea of what it's saying, sure, but it doesn't read or flow the best, so you don't get sucked into it like you might if it was rewritten a bit better for English.”
- “English translation is quite hard to follow, so no comment about the story.”
- “The story in this game is somewhat challenging to follow because the beginning offers very little information, and the narrative is expressed in rather abstract language.”

- “There's also some untranslated stuff here and there, which can be slightly annoying but it has no impact on gameplay.”
