“Possibly one of my new favorite metroidvanias. Honestly just the shift in how combat is handled makes this a wonderfully unique experience. Enemies aren't in fixed places on the map, rather they will swarm you after a…”
“Beautiful hand drawn art style, reminiscent of GRIS (also starts off in a desert like GRIS) but with combat gameplay and metroidvania and roguelike elements. Great progression system with a multi branching skill tree.…”

“I love the style of this game, and the music. It looks and sounds amazing. And the enemy designs and bosses are really good. The art team went wild on this game. I have a lot of love for the studio and some bias as a…”
“I really enjoyed most of the game. I was annoyed by the boss fights when they were so much larger than me as the movement did not feel consistent to the rest of the game to me. Overall recommended.”

“it looks cool, but plays terrible; the controls feel sloppy, the endless hordes of enemies i find nothing but annoying, the bosses have unique designs but fighting them is not fun at all.”

“After Jotun (which I could only beat because of the tremendous amount of hours I spent in Hades I + II), it seems like the developers at Thunder Lotus Games made freedom and ease of movement a top priority in their next title. And it really paid off. The abilities, the combat,…”
— a player, Steam review · 73 hrs played“The art and the soundtrack are incomprehensibly good and work together to produce a magnificent atmosphere of the eldritch beating down on existence, the horde mechanic as much hate as it gets from others, seems quite fitting for the mood that the game is trying to set. You are…”
— a player, Steam review · 39 hrs played“Horde mechanic is fine, though the enemy types are relatively lackluster, environments are beautiful and the obstacles are cool. My main issue with this game is obstacle, level, and enemy design and how it relates to gameplay. 17 hours in and so far I've unlocked double jump,…”
