FYI: THE SPEED OF THE GAME IS TIED TO FRAME RATE. This applies to everything (player movement speed, etc.). I've been playing at 40FPS on the steam deck because that's what I always do. You can't really tell the difference and it's way better for battery life. But I just found out I've been playing this game at 2/3 speed the entire time. Was already in the postgame before I realized. Honestly, pretty hilarious but there's no way that should be happening. And if it does the game should make it clear (if I was told anywhere I missed it). I'm recommending this because it's a fun metroidvania and I had a good time with it, but it has problems and some questionable design decisions. The highlight is definitely the boss battles, they're interesting and well done for the most part. Fun exploration and secret finding for the most part as well. I'm not going to continue playing because I was still in the middle of doing stuff in the postgame but I apparently triggered an ending that forces you into new game plus. Literally why? there is no reason at all for it to happen other then it's the designer's "vision" or something?
The gameplay itself is nothing revolutionary but it's a pretty good classical metroidvania, the game is reasonably difficult, the controls, movement, map and boss design overal feels pretty retro, which has its ups and downs. The best part of the game are the secrets, for those who are interested in things such as secret languages to translate, messages on the walls and such, you will enjoy what this game has to offer. A charming experience overal, for a very reasonable price.
Be prepared: This game is difficult , but one of the greatest metroidvania games, even compared to recent masterpieces. Control is difficult but solid and reliable. Nothing is unfair. What's difficult but possible is possible (and often really difficult ! ) and you often have to do it. Then it rewards you. The developer understands incredibly well what makes games fun. # One review says grappling is unreliable, but no, it's the reviewer's fault. I confess it took me 10 min or so to understand its use.
