  • Smooth and responsive combat mechanics with satisfying and fluid gameplay.
  • Appealing Norse mythology theme combined with well-crafted art and music.
  • Promising replayability and progression systems, supported by an active and passionate development team with a clear roadmap.
  • Lack of in-game information and tutorials makes the early game confusing and difficult for new players.
  • Visual clutter during combat causes difficulty in reading enemy attacks and animations, leading to unnecessary damage.
  • Difficulty spikes are abrupt, especially with bosses, and the meta progression and upgrade path can feel forced and unclear.

    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    27% positive mentions, 59% neutral mentions, 14% negative mentions

    The gameplay is praised for its smooth, responsive controls and fluid combat mechanics that provide an engaging, fast-paced experience reminiscent of Hades, with a variety of weapons, enemies, and unique features like build and execute systems. However, some players find the core gameplay loop repetitive and lacking depth, with certain frustrations around damage taken from chaotic visuals and removed mechanics. Overall, it offers substantial content and replayability, especially appealing to fans of hack-and-slash rogue-likes.

    • “I love the battle mechanics and just how smooth on the controller everything feels.”
    • “There's great variety in weapons, enemies, and abilities, the combat mechanics flow smoothly, and I haven't run into any bugs so far.”
    • “What feels special is that it has various unique mechanics such as a build system and an execute mechanic that its rivals don’t have.”
    • “And long loading times for a fast-paced, repetitive gameplay loop is not good.”
    • “The amount of times I took small chips of damage simply by moving around a visual effects-littered battlefield in its high speed, high action gameplay, is far too high.”
    • “Combat mechanics are at least decent enough for it to be a fun little button masher, but there's no depth and the story is practically non-existent.”

  • story

    The story in this game is minimal or nearly nonexistent, with some users expressing a desire for more narrative content as development progresses. While the game features other appealing elements like music and art, the story currently lacks depth and is not a primary focus.

    • “This game has story, action, beautifully crafted music and art.”
    • “Its also not going to give you the little bit of story build that makes the Hades games work.”
    • “Combat mechanics are at least decent enough for it to be a fun little button masher, but no depth and story is practically nonexistent.”
    • “It's also not going to give you the little bit of story build that makes the Hades games work.”
    • “It is of course early access and there isn't much to it, but it left me wanting more and I can't wait to see how the developers execute the new areas and story.”

  • music

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 50% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    • “This game has story, action, beautifully crafted music and art.”
    • “The voices and some music are AI but they can be skipped if that bothers you.”

  • graphics

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    75% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 25% negative mentions

    The graphics are generally praised as gorgeous and fitting the game's style, though some consider them not the greatest overall. The visuals complement the smooth gameplay and intense combat, contributing to an engaging adventure experience.

    • “Gameplay is silky smooth, graphics are gorgeous, and bosses are tough.”
    • “From a non-gamer POV, this is exactly the kind of game I was looking for: adventure, roguelike traits, meta progression, good graphics, Hades-like combat... everything.”
    • “It really is Hades in most of its mechanics, gameplay and even visuals.”

  • optimization

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game's optimization is currently solid, delivering smooth performance even on devices like the Steam Deck, with impressive visual effects that suggest further improvements are likely in future updates.
