Overall Review, plus how I found this game (skip this section if you just want to know details about this game) So, I discovered this game by accident (kinda), when going through list of all soulslikes to know how many games it would take to beat each and every one of them. I usually get to games because I like their soundtrack, so I was listening to soundtracks of all the 39 soulslikes (I didn't count the souls/metroidvanias and souls/roguelikes), and couldn't find soundtrack for this one, except a 20 second passage of menu theme, so I decided to buy the game to listen to it in its entirety. Yes, I bought this game to hear the menu theme. I don't know what my past self was thinking, but at the same time, I'm glad I bought this game, because after overcoming the initial confusion, I found myself in a beautifully built world. What also encouraged me to finish this game was seeing how little people actually got past the first boss. I wanted to pay respect to the dev team by being one of those few who completed the game. And despite it being full of minor bugs, I grew to love this game, and is one of the few I will certainly return to 100% it. At the time of writing this I just finished my first playthrough, so I want to take a small rest from this game, and finish other games in my library. Overall I'd give this game a solid 7/10 for hitting that spot between my favorite genres of games - Soulslikes, Platformers and Exploration Positives and Negatives of this game Positives: - The strongest side of this game is definitely its visual. Especially the character sprites during dialogue, and the beautiful views in the world. Really, you could probably stop anywhere in the open-world section, rotate your camera a bit, and the screenshot would be a beautiful wallpaper - The worldbuilding and level design is also really strong - the game's world contains one big area, an open-world which you can peacefully explore, and sub-areas, which are more like traditional soulslike linear levels. The dev team really nailed the switching of those two types of levels, and thanks to it I never really got bored of exploration of this world - This game's lore is really well written, unfortunately it's kinda pain in the ass to look for it - As I mentioned earlier, this game's soundtrack is pretty good, especially the menu theme - None of the bosses felt unfair, and after I mastered parrying (and defeated one boss with only riposting) I felt like a god - There were no gamebreaking bugs, although minor bugs were present Negatives: - All weapons have the same moveset, except for one sword having different combo finisher (double slash instead of single slash) - While the bosses are fair and quite fun, most of them are extremely simple (really, the only actually great, fun and relatively challenging bosses were Demiurges, and there is only 3 of them) - The NPC quests are pain in the ass - NPCs don't even give you hints to their next location so you just have to hope you will find them alongside your path (even the one Steam guide won't help sometimes, because the creator got some locations wrong. After I finish all the questlines I will probably make guide to the questlines myself) - Basic enemies are either the easiest thing in history, or more bullshit than Blighttown Hope this review helped you choosing whether to buy this game or not, but I myself would really recommend buying this hidden gem, even if just on sale, and supporting the devs

An eclectic mix of different old school ARPGs & "Soul Reaver-esque/ Souls-style" combat, with hauntingly captivating landscapes reminiscent of Shadow of the Colossus. A hidden gem if I ever found one.

Random, empty and with bad composition it feels like generated by an AI. But for its music and several hours of interesting exploration it was well worth its 3 euro price. 6,5/10

Pretty original for a Souls-like game. Simplistic, but pretty graphics, hard bosses, very distinct game regions - maybe not the best game in the genre, but really worth playing.
