July 2025

A short game about a brother going through his rampaged home to find his sister. Fluid combat and 2D platforming with gorgeous visuals. Took me 2 hours to beat. Definitely recommend. Great value if you get it on a deep discount.

July 2025

A short but fun linear action platformer. Most of the time you traverse a pitch black environment that is illuminated only by your burning sword and the torches you ignite on your way. This concept works surprisingly well and looks great on the steam deck OLED. The controls feel tight and responsive, However, I found that the impaired visibility in combination with poor telegraphing makes parrying attacks really hard. My actual playtime would be one hour less if I wouldn't have stubbornly tried to master the parries before I gave up and focused on dodging only. For 80% off, this game is a steal. Highly recommended.

March 2025

Very fun and polished game. Smooth action, pretty environments, good level design, fun concept and execution, decent enough challenge, the music is okay. Only downside is its very short length.

Feb. 2025

It's a short game, but it's very nice. I love the story and battles centered around flames. The action is a little stiff, but it's very good overall. This is a hidden gem if you're looking for an action game to relax after work. Looking forward to the sequel!

Fun, but very very short. Best to grab while it's on sale
