I give this game a tentative recommendation. I'm going to be frank, about 95% players will be unable to beat this game. I myself have resolved not to because it's simply not worth the hassle. It's a boss rush game with a novel enough concept. You can fight the ten bosses in any order you like, but with each boss defeated, the next becomes more difficult with a combination of new moves, gimmicks, and increased health. Of course, that means whomever you choose to fight last will be absurdly hard. Now, this would make for a fun challenge, except for the fact that you get a limited number of lives per run. You get one additional life per boss defeated, which means you can have a total of ten retries at the tenth boss if you don't die at all getting to that point. Limited attempts on extremely difficult bosses has become one of the worst features ever introduced to videogames as it takes what should be a fun challenge- an exercise in practice, memorization, and forming muscle memory, and turns it into a slog. Imagine if you only got a few attempts to beat Malenia in Elden Rings before being forced to run through thirty minutes of content you've already experienced before you can try again. That's this game. If that sounds fun to you, or you're fairly above average in skill level, or you don't mind not finishing the game, than I'd say this is still a worthwhile experience if only for the art and characters you get introduced to.

Honestly this game is amazing the flow of combat is smooth and the ability to choose which bosses you fight first or save for later is super cool. Im not huge in to 2d games as is but i knew from just the visuals that this would be something special and im so glad i was right. took me a little over 2 hrs to beat my first run through but still im left wanting to play more. Ill definitely 100% this game even though its difficult it is surprisingly fun and very rewarding. Getting use to the timings of everything is a little weird at first so i would be patient and finding which bosses you like and dislike will also take time but in the end its worth it All in all id definitely recommend this game for anyone who enjoys these games and to those that even usually dont id at least give it a try as i was thuroly suprised how much i enjoyed it.

TLDR: Fantastic game that puts a refreshing twist on the boss rush genre. If you are new to the genre you should beware that these are difficult games. What is this game? -There are 10 (or more?) bosses. I have not beat the game yet. It starts out very easy and gets much harder. This is be design. -The bosses can be done in any order. -Killing a boss gives you a power/skill and also makes the other bosses stronger. Later bosses get an HP increase + move-sets get more complex so the encounters become progressively more difficult depending on how many bosses you've killed previously. Pros: -Combat feels good. Bosses feel fair for the most part. -Great "dynamic difficulty" system that lets you strategize what bosses to do later and which ones you should get out of the way sooner because of either difficulty or the skill you receive from them. Cons: -You need to walk to each boss which can get annoying. -The ledging in the overworld is annoying which makes walking to the boss more annoying. -The overworld is complex (for a boss rush game anyway) which makes walking to the bosses even more annoying.

It’s incredibly fun and easily has S-tier art and visuals. The combat variety is great, keeping things fresh, and the story is genuinely intriguing.My only minor gripes are the i-frames—they can feel a bit weird/inconsistent at times. Other than that, it's an amazing experience!

(Ignore the playtime, I was one of the playtesters and have a few hundred hours in total) It's always refreshing to see unique spins on well-established genres. The premise of the game is very straightforward: You enter each boss arena, defeat them to unlock their power and the next one gets stronger. Do that until you finish the game (It's much easier said than done). You're free to choose to fight them in any order you want, which makes it have a surprising amount of replayability based on which powers you unlock first, which annoying boss you want to deal with first and the final boss (no spoilers). While the lobby is really beautiful and atmospheric and there is a lot of polish in dialogues and interactions, the main highlight is for sure the bosses. Each one has a beautiful arena and and great OST to accompany it. The later fights have a rare and satisfying sense of rhythm paired with innovative boss design that is very difficult to find on most games. If you are someone trying to scratch that itch of fighting a boss while locked in at the edge of your seat while your BPM skyrockets, this game is for you.
