Absolute hidden gem metroidvania. Clearly a passion project for a solo dev who absolutely nailed it. I'm always surprised that this game doesn't come up more often in recommendation lists for this genre. Great for m+k or gamepad. Lots of replayability due to the diverse build options. The voice acting is solid, the humor is surprisingly funny at times. I've returned to this game many times over the years and I'd guess it's my most replayed game.
[Edit: After playing the Neuron boss, I can only recommend this game to people who don't mind being incredibly frustrated. He is a boss that prevents you from casting spells, drinking potions, or using ranged weapons. Essentially, all you can do is melee attack while he rapidly drains your life. The fight takes FOREVER. All of that is fine, actually, but the fact that your controls are reversed for the last 50% of the fight is probably a step too far.] The small character sprites and less-than-agile movement give this game an old-school feel, like Dark Castle or Prince of Persia or something. That's not a bad thing, though. The controls are fine! I really like that the RPG systems are more complex than the typical Metroidvania. Your character has approximately 15 different skills to raise. There are different melee weapons with their own benefits and drawbacks. There are quite a few magic spells. Making potions is cool, and potions and consumables are very handy. I'm playing on hard mode, and so far it isn't too difficult. It's definitely possible to die, and cautious play is rewarded. There is also a map editor and a whole online co-op mode. The main game is a good length, but you can also play custom maps, which are like their own miniature campaigns. And there are some pretty cool ones in the Steam workshop. All around great game! Some of the jokes are a little sexist and have aged badly, though.
I only played the single player campaign annnd it's fine. It feels like a game trapped in the 90s for better or worse. The sole positive and reason you could have to play this over another similar game is that it has a bulky, classic rpg system where you have a plethora of skills, items, spells, etc that you can spec into to create a character build. It's interesting because you need melee and ranged, slash and blunt dmg, fire and ice dmg, armor or robes to empower your playstyle of choice, etc and you don't have enough points to cover everything, so you're forced to also invest into cheaper, lesser but necessary skills/items. That gets you thinking into how you solve your lack of X thing and that simultaneously draws you into adventuring like the game intended. Then there's the rest of the game which is just mid or ok at best. Movement is clunky but not to the point of feeling cheap. Platforming is basic and repetitive but not frustrating. Combat is also clunky but somewhat challenging. There are traps, both literal as in arrows protruding from the ground and indirect as in "hey you fell down a hole into a room full of enemies, now you'll die". The music is... there. Art too is ok. Writing is... adolescent, to say the least. And the whole adventure doesn't really escalate more than what you see around the first area. So, if you don't care about the rpg chracter building aspect of the game, then it has nothing left to offer you. Personally I happened into this game looking for recommendations after playing La Mulana. They are not alike at all, and playing it felt like I was just passing the time, not really doing something I enjoyed. This game gets plenty of love from some fans, but I think a review that also recognizes where it falls short is important too. So, here you go.
