July 2025
If you go into it expecting a combat focused 2D Pixel Art Dark Souls, and not a movement-based metroidvania, you should have a good time! Not a fan of having to watch boss intro cutscenes every time you fight a boss again after dying, with no clear way to skip, though. Also a little disappointed with the true ending. But otherwise, was an enjoyable game.

The Game is an overall enjoyable experience, early game combat was an absolute drag but it gets a lot better as you progress, i enjoyed the rapiers the most. The best part of the game is easily the Art Style. Just exploring the game is worth the money, and the parkour/platforming sections were what kept me in the game despite the not so well balanced early melee system... Soundtrack is Amazing as hell, and overall sound design is plesant and well done. For the first playthrough i recommend spending as much points on the dark blue skill at the far right, it gives dmg for your magic stuff which makes the game a bit more interesting having that do great dmg. youre gonna get a Magic Rapier after the second stage so it will be worth it trust me. Story is interesting. Game is extremely difficult, so if youre mentally unstable or grind your teeth very often, might wanna put this one off. Great buy, 9/10👍

This game F***s so hard! Definite recommend for Souls fans. I just finished the game and I can say with 100% certainty that the negative reviews are crazy. This game is a tight 12 to 14 hour Souls-like with surprising depth, killer bosses, beautiful art and a ton of replay value. Is it the most complex or difficult Souls-like out there? No. But what this game brings to the table is a fun, challenging experience with a short run time that is perfect for both newbies and veterans to the genre alike. There are some aspects that could definitely have been handled better but for what this game is those issues are just minor imperfections on an otherwise great experience. Pros Lots of weapons, spells and armor to use. Killer boss fights that test your skills Short run time. Great pacing. Fun but simple combat. Cons Weapons feel very similar between each type. One major boss was far too easy for where they are located. Platforming is very simple. Map lacks detail and the ability to add markers.

The game has a solid foundation but why is it that so many souls-likes can't get their hitboxes and QoL in check even after more than a decades worth of souls games

The Tarnishing of Juxtia is a metroidvania game that perfects the mechanics of a souls game into it. The games combat and lore is also pretty good. I recommend
