  • Combat is fun, responsive, and satisfying, with a solid Souls-like feel and smooth gameplay.
  • The game offers a good blend of roguelite progression and Souls-like combat, with enjoyable map-based advancement and meta-progression systems.
  • Visuals, art style, music, and atmosphere are highly praised, creating an immersive and captivating experience.
  • Build variety and synergies are limited, with many builds feeling similar and some weapon types missing.
  • Content is somewhat lacking, leading to repetition and grindiness after several hours of play; challenge maps and boss variety could be improved.

  • gameplay

    39 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    54% positive mentions, 38% neutral mentions, 8% negative mentions

    The gameplay is widely praised for its smooth, satisfying, and addictive combat with strong roguelite and soulslike elements, offering solid challenge, varied builds, and well-designed bosses. While some note it may be less deep or lengthy compared to genre heavyweights, most find the mechanics polished, engaging, and accessible with a well-paced learning curve. Overall, the gameplay loop is fun, immediate, and enriched by strategic choices and diverse run options.

    • “The gameplay is so addicting, and the build variety from what I've seen so far is great.”
    • “I love trying different builds and seeing how gameplay changes based on your path choice, weapon/armor drops and your blessing choice.”
    • “The gameplay loop is super addictive, and there are a lot of different ways you can make your build work.”
    • “While the game deserves credit for its stunning visual art, atmosphere, with enemy and boss designs that genuinely look fantastic, and clear passion from the developer, the core gameplay loop is far too shallow to justify its price tag when compared to heavyweights in the genre.”
    • “The art is lovely, but it isn't enough to carry a game where the actual gameplay falls this flat.”
    • “The early meta progression is pretty brutal because you don't have the game knowledge nor mechanical skill nor metaprogression to make a dent in a run.”

  • graphics

    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    55% positive mentions, 30% neutral mentions, 15% negative mentions

    The game's graphics feature a distinct, captivating art style praised for its atmospheric, medieval-dark fantasy aesthetic and memorable enemy and boss designs. While visually stunning and stylistically unique like paper puppets, some users note occasional performance issues and a few late-game design choices that feel less fitting. Overall, the graphics significantly enhance the immersive experience and are widely appreciated by players.

    • “Some of my favourite enemy designs from any game ever, the art style is absolutely stunning and the atmosphere is incredible.”
    • “The gameplay is great, the artwork is absolutely beautiful and very atmospheric, and the music is just addicting.”
    • “The game opens up so much the more you play it, graphics are awesome and atmospheric, fully recommended, gonna be spending a lot of hours on this game.”
    • “The performance gets bogged down way too much for a game of this graphical level.”
    • “The artstyle initially put me off a bit, but I've come to find it charming.”
    • “Graphics are a stylistic choice, almost like paper puppets.”

  • music

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

  • atmosphere

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    88% positive mentions, 12% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game's atmosphere is widely praised for its stunning art style, immersive aesthetics, and captivating enemy and boss designs, all complemented by addictive music. Reviewers highlight a polished, visually striking environment that enhances the overall experience. However, some note that despite the incredible atmosphere, the gameplay may lack depth compared to genre heavyweights.

    • “Some of my favorite enemy designs from any game ever, the art style is absolutely stunning and the atmosphere is incredible.”
    • “I think the first thing that needs highlighting is the atmosphere and aesthetic that the game has.”
    • “The game opens up so much the more you play it, graphics are awesome and atmospheric, fully recommended, gonna be spending a lot of hours on this game.”

  • story

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    43% positive mentions, 14% neutral mentions, 43% negative mentions

    The story is generally solid and enjoyable but not particularly groundbreaking or deep, with some users finding it short and lacking long-term goals beyond initial progression. While it supports engaging gameplay and metaprogression, the narrative and challenge content feel limited and less impactful in comparison to other game aspects.

    • “The story is solid and makes you want to get back into the game after every run.”
    • “The game has a solid story complemented by good combat and metaprogression.”
    • “The story so far is solid, though not groundbreaking.”
    • “The story mode is quite short, limiting the overall experience.”
    • “Basically no story or things to work for after the first four scales, which diminishes long-term engagement.”
    • “Challenge maps are seemingly useless and impactless, being only one act long and lacking the depth of the full 3-act story runs.”

  • replayability

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    83% positive mentions, 17% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game offers exceptional replayability, featuring abundant content, unlockable bosses, and diverse builds that keep the experience fresh and engaging. Players consistently find it enjoyable and well worth repeated playthroughs.

    • “Has a massive replayability.”
    • “This game is very fun, super replayable, and there is also a lot of content to cover.”
    • “Excellent, well worth the money with plenty of loot, replayability, and fun builds to discover.”

  • optimization

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    20% positive mentions, 20% neutral mentions, 60% negative mentions

    The game's optimization is inconsistent, with several users experiencing significant performance drops and low frame rates, especially during boss fights. Despite its strong visual quality, the overall performance can become bogged down and recently worsened after a patch.

    • “The performance gets bogged down way too much for a game of this graphical level.”
    • “I initially had this review up but took it down due to a patch breaking optimization for me.”
    • “I am having some very bad performance issues when fighting bosses, as low as 25 fps.”

  • grinding

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

    The grinding in the game is considered tedious and time-consuming, particularly due to repetitive boss fights and grind-heavy achievements like "master exterminator." Unlike more engaging grind systems in games like Hades, this game's lack of rewarding progression makes the grind feel unrewarding and frustrating for many players.

    • “The game has a lot of grindy achievements that just waste time, mainly the Master Exterminator achievement. Even though you can use the bosses that summon minions for it, it still sucks.”
    • “Fighting the same bosses every single run, and each one takes forever to get to, gets tedious.”
    • “It gets very tedious and grindy.”

  • stability

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

    The game runs smoothly and without bugs, delivering a stable experience, including on the Steam Deck. Users report consistent performance and reliability across platforms.

    • “Runs great on Steam Deck too.”
    • “Smooth, bug-free experience.”
    • “Runs great on Deck.”

    Users appreciate the developer's enthusiasm and active engagement, which adds a heartwarming emotional dimension to the game experience.
