I'm not super far in the game yet the only way I for sure recommend this game is on sale. I got it as low as 3 dollars. now as far as pros and cons go Cons: #1 combat Is somewhat stale and repetitive #2 weapons don't seem to have any super special effects like no cool aoe shockwaves or anything like that. (With few exceptions like "the organ" and similar" #3 elements don't do anything outside of flat damage it seems no status effects like freezing enemies solid or etc #4 weird attack orientations your character attacks in weird direction unspecific to your aim they do try to compensate by giving generous attack sweeps on most attacks but awkward player or enemy locations still cause weird misses #5 annoying enemy skills like blood pools that linger for too long even after enemy is dead also bs enemy stagger and priority over your attacks if they hit first #6 there is no magic spells in the game that I'm aware of Pros: #1 of course soundtrack is great music fits areas and fights well #2 very nice and cool locations with lovely aesthetics all though can be hard to see small things. very good environment building for the most part #3 this is technically good and bad but it's a counter argument for con 5. its just enemies are mostly easy to bait and counter. their attacks often self align to left or right meaning they often miss easily just by you walking up or down and are highly location specific on a lot of enemies with certain exception. this does somewhat make up for the staggering but makes the game more hit and run based #4 farming for most things is easy as many things have places or enemies where they are Guaranteed to drop without fail. this is a bit of a cheesy mechanic but makes your life simple. #5 don't need to tell you this but most bosses are nice feeling and a lot do have slight gimmicks but not taking away from the enjoyment #6 guns what else do you need me to say albeit your ability to use them is limited to an extent especially at first keep in mind this is an indie game and its top down which is a bold move for this type of game and maybe hard to polish out. the main reason I'm giving positive review is because of realistic expectations for it being indie and unconventional plus I got it much cheaper. so take that as you will. some people might not like it but if you are into this type of game and open minded give it a try preferably when its on sale

Great bosses, good music, overall fun game since we are all waiting on that Bloodborne PC port. Gameplay is fun and actually simple. Dodge, attack, occasionally shoot. Not much variety but it works. The maps are simple enough but you can only view them at save points. The steam screenshot feature helps get around this limitation. At least we have maps, although you will most likely get lost constantly before finding them and I think this was by design. A big issue here are the weapons. Most are simple and almost completely the same. The stats don't really tell the player much allowing you to experiment with runes a bit. Runes are little accessories you equip to weapons instead of upgrading them at a blacksmith. There is a red sword that is just better than the rest but it loses you sanity. You can get around this with Sanity Drain runes. Most weapons are either useless or very good. Keep in mind you also don't level the character themselves, until you beat the first acolyte. So the beginning of the game I found harder than the endgame. A solid 10 hours experience.

good game all in all. its probably not the best of the genre but combat, upgrades, atmosphere, and the graphical style really holds your attention. id suggest a play through. i would say its at minimum a 7 which is better than average and i wanna give it an 8 simply because i love the blood and gore, but i wont.

This game is good but way too difficult like this is coming from a ds1, bloodborne and elden ring player, the dodging against things like the first boss is almost useless and you have to fight your way through enemies to the boss for runbacks which was a mistake ds1 and ds2 made and is frankly poor game design hence why elden ring doesn't do it and the parrying is janky and god awful. For a soulslike it could have been way better and studied the flaws of dark souls instead of repeating them i'm unsure if i'll finish the game. Overall the game is 6/10.

March 2024

Only have 1.5 hours in, but this game is very well done, controls take a little getting used to, and I'm not a fan of the parry, it feels clunky but maybe it will improve in time. I just unlocked the ability to use my skill points, and hopefully i get more slots to use blessings (skill points upgrade blessings that you find and slot them), you start with 2 slots, not sure if you get more, hope so. Died on first acolyte once, then came back and killed him with a different method and didn't have too much of a problem, so very fair. Also just heard the steam video state that more blessing slots open up, so that's good! Enjoying it so far, will definitely keep playing this! Sound / BGM is great too.
