“Oh yeah, this was a really great Metroidvania with some weird quircks here and there. The game looks and sounds great and the music is ...well..there. But nothing memorable. Gameplay can change a lot between builds you…”
“Great game. This is more of a 2d souls-like than a metraidvania. The game is a little too linear for it to be a proper metroidvania, but is well done as a souls-like. The combat is quite fun. I only used twin daggers…”
“7/10 I picked this up after finishing Grime while waiting for Grime II. It's a lot of fun and has a good amount of content. You've got a handful of classes to start with, each mostly built around a unique on-hit effect…”

“Absolutely gorgeous game, deserves more attention”
“I guess some bosses or mini bosses are repeating in pattern. Overall, I liked the graphics, skill tree with special enhancements on skills. Though skill tree is losing it's meaning when you change your relic if you go…”

“Enjoyed every minute of this game except for the final boss, which is just annoying. Once completed, although you can do new game+, there isn't much incentive to do so. Enjoyed being about to multi.class and respec my…”
“Fun game, great artwork, love the upgrade trees. You can tell there was a lot of love put into this game. I haven't finished it yet, but I will. This game also has a great story. Great job to everyone who made this!…”

“Don´t get fooled by the cute graphics, this game will punch you in the face hard after a few hours. Looking for a challenge with great exploration and lots of bosses? Step right up. Only real complaint, the final boss,…”
“It´s my first time playing a soulslike metroidvania and I have to say that I liked this game very much! When certain features of the development of the game comes to play it can amuse you pretty fast! Good game to start…”
“Absolutly loving this game. I normally do not play games like this, but was looking for something to play, so downloaded the demo. The game looks beautiful. The world is detailed and the enemies look great. The rpg…”

“Good game ruined by a unfair final boss. Played Rogue and game was hard but you could still learn the patterns. Then the last boss comes and he 1 or shots you. I have used consumables for more health or resistance,…”

“I recommend this game as in pirate it, the devs all disbanded because of stupidity and there's probably only one person who is continuing to get money from this game if you purchase it and they DO NOT DESERVE THE MONEY,…”
“A very mild recommend. Game starts out strong, and overall it's fun enough. But man, some of the design decisions were mind bogglingly bad, and the last 30-40% of the game turned into a bit of a slog. Get it on sale,…”

“Similar to Salt and Sanctuary, but better in every way. I have played through the game with 3 of the 6 available classes, and all felt distinct and fun. Huge world to explore and find stuff, great crafting systems,…”
“As long as you don't get any save game bugs this is an excellent 2D RPG Metroidvania style game! The Progression feels excellent, the build possibilities are super fun and give you a lot of freedom of expression that…”
“The game still has a bug with a trapdoor in an abandoned mansion, although it was released a year ago.”

“A fun but flawed experience that I think is worth checking out... on sale. But you aren't here for a detailed essay style review, so here is the lowdown! The Good - A lot of build variety and it all feels pretty viable! - Attacks are mostly well telegraphed, and stamina…”
— a player, Steam review · 22 hrs played“This game is absolutely stunningly beautiful. But did I have fun playing it? No, it quickly became a grinding chore to play. The difficulty in this game is partly (and dare I say mostly) controlled by how much damage the enemies does to you. So if you like heroic battles, you…”
— a player, Steam review · 165 hrs played“A perfectly reasonable soulslike metroidvania that seemingly got marred by a late-in-development drinking game to purposefully turn the game into a frustrating slog. “Let’s make it really ambiguous when you take damage so it’s hard to tell what’s happening when multiple enemies…”
