  • music

    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    67% positive mentions, 33% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The music in the game is widely praised for its quality and contribution to the overall experience, enhancing the art style and fast-paced gameplay. However, some players noted that the limited number of tracks can lead to repetitiveness, especially after extended play. Overall, while the music is a highlight, its looping nature may detract from the experience for some.

    • “Ever since someone added music and writing to games, games have been made up of multiple art forms.”
    • “If a challenging short game is what you want (and good music), I definitely recommend this.”
    • “Love the art style, the music, and the fast pace :)”

  • graphics

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    38% positive mentions, 62% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The graphics of the game are highly praised for their stunning visuals, particularly on 4K monitors, and the unique art style enhances the overall experience. Players appreciate the game's performance on Linux systems with Vulkan drivers, indicating a well-optimized graphical experience across different platforms.

    • “But I still recommend this for its stunning visuals, especially if you have a 4K monitor.”
    • “Love the art style, the music, and the fast pace :)”
    • “I do appreciate the update that provided a Linux depot in Steam, because I played this on an Ubuntu Linux desktop, with Vulkan-Mesa graphic drivers, Xbox-type gamepads, and an AMD graphics card.”

  • gameplay

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 34% neutral mentions, 33% negative mentions

    Gameplay is marred by significant technical issues, including shader and lighting problems, frustrating camera controls, and unclear menus, which detract from the experience. Despite these drawbacks, the game features challenging, tactical boss fights reminiscent of Dark Souls, where players must navigate a high-stakes environment with limited hits before restarting.

    • “How well do these mechanics function?”
    • “There were shader and lighting issues that prevented me from finally seeing this neon-lit dumpster fire, from all the infuriating controls of the camera, gamepads not working, obscure controls, barely visible menu and text boxes, and nose-pinching gameplay.”
    • “It's a collection of almost Dark Souls-like boss fights that require very tactical gameplay, especially considering you can only be hit 3 times before you have to start over.”

  • story

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

    The game features minimal to no story, which some players view as a strength, suggesting that it functions well without a narrative and may even be better off without one.

  • grinding

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

    Players overwhelmingly find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and monotonous, leading to frustration and a diminished enjoyment of the overall experience.

    • “Dear god, is it tedious.”
