The game is visually appealing and runs smoothly, showcasing impressive development by a single person.
Gameplay is fun with a variety of bosses and a solid combat system, providing a good amount of content.
There is a fair amount of weapon, vampiric power, and level customization, making it enjoyable for fans of dungeon crawlers.

The game is linear and repetitive, lacking a solid story, engaging characters, and meaningful choices.
The health and mana system can be frustrating, leading to situations where players are unable to heal or use skills effectively during boss fights.
Many environments look the same, and the absence of a map or save feature can make navigation and progression tedious.
