This game was awesome; I had so much fun. It's one of those games that, when you finish it, you want to know more, and it stays with you because it's so good. I hope they release a sequel or a remake someday. Its unique story is very interesting, not to mention the secrets and curiosities it contains. I don't want to spoil the surprise. PLAY IT NOW! It has a great story, incredible gameplay, and tons of content to explore, plus surprises you won't expect.

This game is really fun. I mean, there are multiple path choices in the story that can annoy the narrator, and I think it’s worth a try.

I picked up this game based on the visuals and was blindsided by a few of the quirks that are only found by playing the game. I don't want to spoil them but in short I do recommend the game to other players.

Recommended on sale, probably not at full price, if you are picking this game up in 2025 and beyond. I think there are other indie 2D action games with better value for the bucks. An enjoyable, if short, side-scrolling action game with a fairly enjoyable combat experience. I will say it is not a particularly well-designed one though, despite the flashy, DMC Vergil-like stylish katana girl video you may come across online. While ICEY's moveset is cool and feels good to practice/execute, the interaction with enemies (both mobs and bosses) isn't particularly well-thought out. Throwing around never-stopping hyperarmored mobs is not a fun experience, especially when your avatar's damage animation does not seem to have i-frames, leading to frequent stunlocks. It's still an overall fun combat flow (trying to clear that secret room without using the "cheat" felt good), but it's a missed opportunity when experimenting with majority of the moveset simply increases your risk with very little reward. I will say the combat being very lenient with animation cancelling was nice though. I could chain a launcher + helmbreaker so quickly that it's like I was standing on the spot, chopping up and down with very high flexibility. Reminded me of some techs from X4 Zero after all this time. The "story" is...enjoyable, I guess? I played in Japanese, and the Narrator's VA was pretty good, so maybe that helped too. But it's definitely "not for everyone," and in my view not in a good way. It's something you may enjoy if you're sort of in on the joke kind of deal. Let's just say phrases like "not for everyone" mentioned above, or "play it without spoiling yourself" usually invokes an expectation of some serious, dramatic story experience but...temper your expectation, this game ain't it. Overall, a nice cheap, short action game to pick up for a chill fun.
