8/10 Great little game. Great music Great art style Good controls Cool story, felt unique. Started off a little slow but as you gain abilities every hour or 2, it makes the gameplay much more engaging and less tedious. Glad there are save points fairly often and the boss run backs are the perfect length (im over the usual MV grueling 10+ minute boss run back-obstacle course) Coulda used a bit more color and the controls coulda been a little more refined but it’s easy to get use to and part of the charm really. Feels Indy. Worth the buy. No brainer if it’s on sale.

I enjoyed this game. The weapons are a little clunky and the combat lacks polish, but the world was fun to explore and the story was a nice little adventure. It wasn't anything special, but I liked it.

Gorgeous art style! Bosses are tough but fair and plenty of secrets to find, many of which are hard to find on a blind first playthru, 100% in game percent in 21:02. One of my gripes is there are only 8 fast travel points, spread very distant from each other. Often you still have to cover a lot of ground if you want something. Otherwise, great game!

100% achivements. Game is pretty solid. I would say it's easily a 7~~7.5 out of a 10. I think the art is pretty unique, the weapons are simple but cool and with personality. The story by itself is nothing amazing but it works and i found the OST to be extremely good. I would definetely recommend this game for any metroidvania lover, but not for a super casual player. This is one of these games that i feel like only GAMERS would enjoy, like a lot of titles people would normally not digest because they don't have the mindset for it. I had a lot of fun with it and i wish it had a sequel with improvements.
