The gameplay is a blend of action, adventure, and puzzle elements, primarily focused on a boss-rush style, but suffers from weak controls and numerous bugs, particularly when using mouse and keyboard. While the game features unique bosses and mechanics that can be enjoyable, it requires significant polishing to enhance the overall experience, with a recommendation to use a controller for better performance. Despite its flaws, the game offers a visually appealing atmosphere and a variety of combat traits that contribute to its charm.
- “The gameplay is fluid and challenging; you have to learn every mechanic of the enemies to defeat them. It's recommended to play with a controller.”
- “The game is catchy, with pleasant mechanics.”
- “They are not only picturesque and charismatic, but also they show different combat traits that give the game a rich variety of isometric gameplay and sensations.”
- “The controls and gameplay are pretty weak... obviously designed for consoles but launched on Steam for no reason other than 'it's easier and Steam Direct has no QA'. There's been no consideration about what would give us PC gamers a decent gaming experience.”
- “A lot of mechanics repeatedly broke when using mouse and keyboard (camera rotation, charged attacks, etc.), which is confusing as the Steam page states 'partial controller support', indicating that mouse and keyboard was the intended method of play.”
- “The mechanic for escaping Clotgor’s stun doesn’t work, and if you die while stunned in the boss room, rebooting the game will spawn you in the arena and the boss won’t attack you.”
