“Short and Free game with good execution on the concept. Quite fun though if you want to 100% you need to git gud because sub 3:30 is not an easy task (Notice the gap in playtime between reviewers)”

“Deepest Sword is one of those weird indie titles that sticks with you. It's short, fun, and challenging! Achievements and speedrun mode give it loads of replay value. Size really does matter here, folks! Highly recommend. 10/10 would plunge again!”
