- It features a variety of interesting weapons and skills, along with a classic Metroidvania map layout that encourages exploration.
- The developer is responsive to player feedback, implementing hotfixes and improvements, which shows commitment to enhancing the game experience.
- The game suffers from an overabundance of status effects inflicted by enemies, making combat frustrating and challenging, especially in the early game.
- Controls need further tweaking, as some movements do not register quickly enough, leading to awkward gameplay moments.
- After the prologue, players lose all abilities and face significantly stronger enemies, which can feel demotivating and lead to frequent deaths.
