Fun metroidvania. The graphics remind me of Shovel Knight. The music and sound is average at best. Basic but serviceable map with layers can get confusing sometimes. My biggest gripe is you can't pan the camera up and down so you sometimes have to take leaps of faith. So far it's challenging, but fair. I'm having a good time.

the first word that comes to mind with this game is "overcooked." it has a nasty habit of taking things one step too far. things that two-shot when they should three-shot. bgm with one-too-much variation which pushes it from intriguing to annoying. obscured paths and pickups that should be completionist things but are either required for basic progression or are required to not have boss fights be a level beyond the expected unfair. personally, I prefer my retro-styled games to have a little more quality of life to it. a little more opt-in to the slightly-more-annoying-than-desired challenges, puzzle bosses, and wtf is with the chance-to-ignore-damage armor upgrades? that ain't retro. that's just... confusing but I appreciate what it did. it tried things, some things worked, others didn't (for me). I'm sure everything that rubbed me the wrong way would be someone else's jam. and even though there were a good half-dozen times I almost uninstalled, it was a retro metroidvania that, if not in my top 10, would still be an approve

One of the best metroidvanias I've ever played (and I've played pretty much all of them lol). Unlike what all of the other reviews will tell you, it's not actually that hard if you're experienced with the genre. It is definitely not beginner friendly though. I thought it was a great difficulty level pretty much the whole time. I would highly recommend exploring and getting all of the upgrades for a smooth and fun experience.

I gave this game a thumbs up, because it has all the elements of a great metroidvania: interesting level design, fun exploration, good puzzles, cool combat. I truly believe, that it is the strongest metroidvania that I played since Hollow Knight. !!HOWEVER!! Late bosses are sadistic in my opinion! I consider myself a decent player (I beat many of the harder metroidvanias and all the Dark Souls games), but I quit this game because I couldn't bother with one of the bosses (having all the upgrades that were available at the time). So, only purchase if you're a crazy good player, or if you don't mind practicing boss battles for hours on end.
