A pretty basic Metroidvania that has a small learning curve. A bit lackluster on the lore but the weapon and item combinations makes up for it.

Absolutely beautiful game. Very atmospheric. Great use of lighting and particle effects to make the pixel art even more beautiful. Game-play is also solid, Great character design, many waifus.

Not too difficult of a metroidvania, but enough difficulty to require pattern learning and being patient. Story isn't anything to write home about, but fun enough to keep you going. Beautiful sprite work, minimal backtracking, and very fair boss fights make this a pretty solid metroidvania experience. Combat is on the clunky side, but not difficult to adjust to. The clunky movement and attacks force you to be deliberate and accurate. You have to know your weapon's ranges and gauge when it is appropriate to attack or dodge.

This game is as good as I heard. The recent negative reviews make little sense, I'm playing this on a thinkpad and have had zero crashes. This game isn't particularly hard, you just have to time things like you would with any metroidvania game. Pick what you like, and figure out attack distances and you'll do well. This game is supposed to be played multiple times through, without spoilers, it's how it works. Beyond the recent bad reviews... The game is a bit clunky, but you get used to it after a little bit. Once you get some new weapons and artifacts you can pick and choose different items to suit your play style.

Great sprites and character designs. The combat gameplay starts off feeling rough until you realize that it's not a "git gud" style combat game. It's a puzzle game where you find the right equipment/weapon/spells to make bosses and enemies significantly easier. There will be trial and error, but once you find the right combo for a specific boss or area, it feels great. By the end of the game you can make ridiculously OP builds that auto regen your health and/or mana, do tons of damage, and cheese all encounters. It's awesome.
