“I was surprised very positively by this one. It's a very enjoyable soulslike game with interesting story and gameplay. It doesn't have the depth of other similar games but that's not bad, if you want fast and satisfying…”
“Im bad at souls games. I keep dying in elden ring and nioh 3 without summons. I dont have the skills. But this game? This game allows me to toggle on "god mode," and frankly, it's so enjoyable. That's just me. I fell in…”
“I honestly can not understand the negative reviews. Ok, it it is not the hardest souls like you will find, but the combat system is just fine. The setting is really cool and the characters are not seen in other games.…”

“This game was a breath of fresh air. The weapons were cool. The areas were cool. The enemies and bosses were cool. The atmosphere was cool. Just a cool game and enjoyed playing through it. Only thing I'd say is that for…”

“Full achivments, secrets, titans... 100% game quests and side quests done. Great game, music, environment, graphics. Kind of pinochio game as automats turn to life, "lies of P" kind! Game beaten!”

“The setting is interesting, the artwork is good, but the gameplay is incredibly boring and repetitive.”

“Awful performance, even if you lower the graphics, use FSR and whatnot, it just doesnt get 30fps. Performance sucks and it is the sole reason this game cant be recommended”
“- If you like jank (but beautiful looking) 3D soulslikes made by teams with passion this game is for you. - If you are tired of UE5 optimization issues, and are interested in optimization issues of an inhouse game…”
“Bad optimization and overall a poorly made souls-like. Wouldn't recommend at all.”

“Spiders is a truly odd developer - Always so few steps away from being incredible, but ends up with a clunky mismatch of half-arsed mechanics and amazing storytelling + narrative setting. USE THE COMPASS!!! - Very…”
“Please optimize the game a bit more, i mean the graphics are not that better than lies of p but pe optimization is so bad i have to play on almost lowest settings while i play on the best settings in lies of p and it…”
“Ok, here's the thing: DON'T BUY IT AT FULL PRICE. Wait for a promotion and get it dirt cheap like I did. This is a "baby's first Soulslike": there's a limited variation on enemies and the game is not hard; it's perfect…”

“There are things in this game that i like, but i can't really reccomend it. It has a lot of charm and interesting ideas but its a janky mess. Animations are clunky and while some are very pretty, Some weapons feel…”

“♥♥♥♥♥ ass, combat is boring, story is a do not fall asleep challenge, environments are mediocre. Not worth the time.”
“Game ran fine, the story is fairly boring and contrived, gameplay loop was entertaining but the animations and level designs could have been better. One decent playthrough and never touch it again.”
