Jan. 2025

This is an interesting "sitcom" game from Devolver Digital: sit down, play for 30 minutes, enjoy the art design and tight mechanics, and get out. This is how you can get the most enjoyment out of this game's satisfying and simple gameplay. HOWEVER, the longer you play it for a single setting, the more it all mushes and blends in. You will see everything new in a world within the first half of the levels; the level up system elicits no sense of gratification beyond a flash of light and a cool sound effect; changes to the gameplay from world to world are nominal, and the enemy and boss design feels cookie-cutter. The scope of this game is small, and doesn't try to be more than what it is; but for a game that was originally an apple arcade release, that's ok. It's meant to kill time and be novel, not to be your next engrossing gaming experience. Pick this up on sale or on Apple Arcade, it's a solid time that only takes a little bit of time

This is a simplified and stripped down soulslike with pixel graphics. It looks like a diorama, and even with the lo-fi graphics it has some neat tricks like depth of field blur and light bloom. There aren’t very many moves at your disposal: regular attack, strong attack, roll dodge, parry, and counter attack off that parry. Most of the challenge comes from learning the enemy’s attack patterns, and you have to play aggressively because they can overwhelm your character quickly. It gets pretty goddamn hard towards the end. Not very long, I beat it in around seven hours. I picked it up cheap in a sale. The aesthetic and sound design is fantastic, though there’s not much of a story.

Sept. 2024

In a time when we're fed so many shallow attempts to cash in on nostalgia this game stands as a triumph in paying homage without feeling patronizing. A creative blend of retro aesthetics and contemporary design that seduces you with addictive combat and surprises with every level. I don't expect to ever uninstall it.

A lot of heart in just a few pixels. Twelve maps with ten levels each filled with deadly encounters, gorgeous scenery, and sick beats. Cannot recommend this one enough. Gem of a game.
