Reviews

story4 positive mentions
gameplay3 negative mentions
  • Unique and beautiful hand-drawn comic-style art direction with vibrant, colorful environments and immersive details.
  • Interesting and historically inspired setting from 16th-century Mesoamerica, with educational elements and cultural respect.
  • Exploration-focused Metroidvania gameplay with rewarding progression, multiple abilities to unlock, and a distinctive movement mechanic using a halberd.
  • Combat can feel simplistic, imprecise, and frustrating with issues such as poor hit detection and repetitive or overwhelming boss fights.
  • Navigation suffers from excessive backtracking, lack of meaningful map markers, and late introduction of fast travel, making mid-game progression tedious.
  • Platforming mechanics feel floaty and clunky due to control issues like lack of ledge grabbing, bad knockback, and frustrating dog companion levels.

  • story

    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    20% positive mentions, 65% neutral mentions, 15% negative mentions

    The story offers an interesting blend of historical and supernatural elements set during early colonization of Mexico, effectively conveying cultural clashes and featuring detailed characters and locations. However, its pacing is uneven, with key moments far apart and a rushed, anticlimactic ending, while the lack of quest or dialogue logs makes the narrative hard to follow. Overall, the story is simple but engaging, though its execution and plot clarity could be improved.

    • “The game combines real historical influences with supernatural storytelling, allowing players to explore a world where legendary figures, ancient civilizations, and imaginative fantasy coexist.”
    • “The storytelling also takes a modern approach by allowing players to remain engaged with gameplay during conversations instead of frequently interrupting the adventure with lengthy dialogue sequences.”
    • “It really seems that the developers did put a lot of effort into every historical character, location, and object, which does also benefit the in-game story a lot.”
    • “For instance, after getting to Tenochtitlan, the game's last portion and final boss battle against Cacalotl feel rather rushed and anticlimactic. Improvements such as the ability to zoom in and zoom out of the map or a quest log could be added.”
    • “Most infuriating is that there seems to be no quest log, dialog log, or anything that tells me what is going on or where to go.”
    • “The story beats are unevenly spread across the game, only really picking up at the end.”

  • gameplay

    The gameplay is praised for its passionate design, fluid movement mechanics, and engaging exploration, blending historical and mythical elements with innovative aerial and pogo-style maneuvers. However, some players find the combat inconsistent, note a steep learning curve with the halberd mechanics, and criticize the late introduction of fast travel, which can make mid-game exploration feel repetitive. Overall, the gameplay is varied and interactive but could benefit from refinements to improve usability and pacing.

    • “Rather than simply functioning as a tool for attacking enemies, it also plays a major role in movement by allowing players to perform aerial maneuvers and bounce across hazards using pogo-style mechanics.”
    • “Gameplay is highly varied and interactive.”
    • “Likewise, mastering the halberd's movement mechanics demands practice, and players expecting a simple hack-and-slash experience may find the learning curve steeper than anticipated.”
    • “But there are a few glaring gameplay issues that just ruin the experience.”
    • “First is that the fast travel mechanic is not introduced until about halfway through the game, forcing you to spend a lot of time going through areas you've already seen.”

  • graphics

    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    54% positive mentions, 23% neutral mentions, 23% negative mentions

    The game's graphics are widely praised for their vibrant, hand-drawn comic book art style that creates a colorful, expressive, and unique visual experience. While some find certain graphical elements repetitive or basic over time, the overall aesthetic and animations are captivating and well-suited to the game's tone.

    • “This game is incredibly, jawdroppingly gorgeous and I'm not just talking about the art style and assets alone.”
    • “The hand-drawn comic style really attracts you with the visuals as well as the controls were super solid and the animations were great.”
    • “I love the unique art direction but it seems all effort went into the visuals over the gameplay.”
    • “It's pretty, but it gets annoying after a while as some graphical aspects of the game like birds flying directly to the screen.”
    • “The environments are presented through vibrant hand-drawn artwork inspired by comic books, creating a visually expressive world that feels colorful, lively, and full of personality.”

  • music

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is highly praised for its immersive and fitting soundtrack, with standout tracks that enhance the atmosphere and nostalgia. Players enjoy the ambient sounds and specific themes like the headquarters music, though some suggest better sound mixing to highlight the OST more effectively. Overall, the soundtrack significantly contributes to the game's engaging experience.

    • “A killer soundtrack.”
    • “This little thing makes the game feel much more immersive, further bolstered by the great ambient sound effects which transport you to the jungles and mountains of Mesoamerica. The music fits in with the vibe as well, featuring some good tracks across the board.”
    • “The OST is nostalgic and adds to the fun hours put into this; it will definitely keep you entertained for hours.”

  • atmosphere
