“Amazing game, definitely one of the best Soulsvanias I've ever played. At first movement feels kinda clunky, but you quickly get used to it, and the combat becomes an amazing thing. Combat was my favorite part of the…”

“A really solid surprise. The atmosphere is dark and oppressive, blending dark fantasy with hints of horror. Combat is demanding and requires good timing, which makes fights feel engaging without being unfair.…”

“Really enjoyed my time playing this game. It reminded me so much of Castlevania sprinkled with a bit of Bloodborne. The music for the game is peak. There was a track that reminded me of Hellraiser and another that felt…”
“Great Metroidvania if you like excellent music, a dark atmosphere with fun gameplay and boss fights. Definitely worth checking out.”

“Map system is flat out broken, if you can't check where you've been or going in a metroidvania there's no point. This is a known problem on forums for this game, and no setting adjustments or patches by developers fix…”
“I enjoyed this game a lot until Act 2 because I got map bug and whole Vigil started to feel like first 30 minutes of Hollow knight. But aside from that it's a solid nice game”
“Just started to play the game. Some minor bugs and a bit of janky controls (especcially on the platforming and jumping). But im loving it. It scratches that Bloodborne (Eldr) itch. I have my Saw im already happy. Now,…”

“No... just. No. I didn't like the movement, I didn't like the graphics, I didn't like the menu structure... nothing about this game was comfortable. It's like it's designed to be a painful UX/UI. It's clunky, the combat…”

“i didnt like the map design but the game is good overall”
“This game is one of those cases where I wish Steam allowed neutral reviews. It's not a bad game, but it's not great. The only way I can describe this game is that it's like a pizza with no toppings. It has the…”

“Lots of content, fun combat, interesting story, great fashion. And we all know fashion is the most important part.”
— a player, Steam review · 73 hrs played“Amazing soulsvania game. Doesn't try to go for anything groundbreakingly new but is very solid on all the important parts. Metroidvania components: - Sidescrolling exploration with some platforming and map layout traditional for the genre; - Need to unlock movement skills to…”
— a player, Steam review · 16 hrs played“This was a treat to play. Could it have a bit more polish? perhaps. But it has a great atmosphere and great character. Kept me coming back wanting to further the game and grind out more levels. I grinded so much early game that everything became a breeze after a certain point.…”
