Reviewers highlight the rich, dark atmosphere and variety of environments that enhance immersion, though some note occasional issues with optimization on lower-end phones and suggest additional graphic settings. Overall, the graphics significantly contribute to an exceptional and immersive mobile gaming experience comparable to high-end platforms.
- “Mind-blowing graphics, easy to use combat controls, captivating story, incredible sfx/music, and much more!”
- “The graphics are fantastic for mobile and, at moments, feel like you're playing a console game, save for the paper-like background outside of the carriage while riding it.”
- “An absolutely amazing game, its graphics, gameplay, and story are leagues ahead of almost every other mobile game developers.”
- “Just ensure you have a phone with specs equal or better to a Moto G7; otherwise, you'll be playing with the okayish graphics preset.”
- “The only thing I don't like is that the game doesn't tell you that you can change graphics settings (30 fps is a pain), but that's a minor grievance on my end.”
- “My phone can run COD Mobile in high graphics at a constant 60 fps, but I can't get over 40 fps in this game!”
story
190 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
53% positive mentions, 43% neutral mentions, 4% negative mentions
The story is generally praised for its dark, captivating, and immersive narrative with rich lore and engaging characters, comparable to console-quality RPGs and Souls-like games. While some find it initially confusing or scattered, it becomes enjoyable and compelling as players progress. Criticisms mostly focus on poor voice acting, rough translations, and a desire for more DLC and offline mode to enhance the overall storytelling experience.
- “The story is captivating, with immersive sound design, lots of hidden spots that reward exploration, and a unique combat twist involving character switching. The graphics are amazing for a mobile game and it's very well optimized.”
- “People compare this to Dark Souls, and it's easy to see the influence; however, this game is so well crafted that its story, mechanics, lore, music, and diversity of opponents make it stand on its own.”
- “For such a mobile 'souls-like' game, this is awesome with a good story, great graphics, and nice gameplay.”
- “The storyline is a mess and the voiceover is laughable sometimes (sorry voice actors), but can't expect that from a 7 EUR game.”
- “Controls are clunky and frustrating, progress is slower than slow, trying to figure out what you're supposed to do and where you're supposed to go is impossible, and the cut scenes and "story" are gibberish.”
- “The storyline is very bland and monotone, as well as all the characters.”
gameplay
163 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
58% positive mentions, 38% neutral mentions, 4% negative mentions
Gameplay is widely praised for its challenging, Souls-like mechanics with smooth, rewarding combat and deep RPG elements, offering great variety through different characters and creative twists like the sanity system. While controls and pacing may feel slow or clunky initially, especially on touchscreens, controller support significantly enhances the experience. Overall, the gameplay is considered highly enjoyable, immersive, and worth the investment, though some players desire faster mechanics, improved dodging, offline modes, and additional content or multiplayer features.
- “Finally after many days of trial and error got past the 2nd boss fight, toughest one till now, I liked the gameplay. It takes some time to get used to, but it's enjoyable, especially for someone like me who tries to explore every corner. There are hidden paths that give more if explored. There's no mini map so you have to remember everything. It is kind of difficult but worth the money if you spend enough time. I think I'm still around 10-15% of the game, will definitely take some time to finish.”
- “The gameplay is reminiscent of Dark Souls but with a few twists such as the sanity mechanic and there are lots of hidden secrets to find.”
- “Gameplay is addicting to say the least, there are half a dozen characters to choose so it can also be flexible.”
- “I mean Christ, I can't even defeat the first boss because of a stupid mechanic that depletes my sanity whenever I get hit, but I'm getting hit because the controls are so kludgy that it's impossible to dodge close attacks.”
- “Clunky movement and mechanics, broken combat, AI pummels the heck out of you and majorities of your attacks get canceled and you get stun locked.”
- “The dodge mechanic doesn't always negate the damage.”
optimization
27 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

However, some users report issues with specific devices, occasional stutters, Android version 14 compatibility problems, and connectivity requirements that detract from the experience. Overall, optimization is praised but could be improved for certain hardware and software scenarios.
- “The story is captivating, has immersive sound design, locations have lots of hidden spots that motivate and reward exploration, combat adds a unique twist in the form of character switching, and the graphics look amazing for a mobile game. Most importantly, it is very well optimized.”
- “The game sacrifices visual effects for the sake of performance, and that's amazing because it runs smooth even on older devices.”
- “Performance is great on my Galaxy Note 10+ even with all graphics settings on max.”
- “I read that there are optimization issues with the latest versions of Android, which is very upsetting.”
- “This sounds like poor optimization on the developer's part.”
