PROS:

- Easy to understand storyline
- Challenging gameplay however, fair throughout the whole run (some rooms were a bit, awkward)
- Bosses in-game were a 2-3 attempt at maximum w/ most being able to be beaten 1st try at times
- Multitude of bosses, each w/ their own unique mechanic
- Easy to understand World Map
- 10-15 hours to beat the game w/ an additional 5 hours (at most) to 100% complete it (20 hours total)
- Upgrades easy to understand & achieve


CONS:

- No save hub to update map location (area) that you’re in
- Hard to tell where you have been and have not (doors are hard to distinguish between walls)
- Needed to pull up map online in order to know where to go next, which I don't usually need to do in Metroidvania games
- Some rooms were annoyingly created w/ obstacles & enemies


OVERALL:

- 8/10


For anyone that enjoys Metroidvania style games (or platform games in general), I would recommend giving this a try if its been on your list.

Kept me quit entertained and only once did I have to put the game down as a particular room was a bit too awkwardly made.

Give it a try.

Soooo burned out on the retro style metrovaina indie game.

This game is amazingly good. Played it on PS4 and Steam.

No video of some gameplay?

UPDATE


Beat the game tonight (when I wrote this I was at the final area) and that score I gave before for this game, easily dropped down to a 6/10 after "beating" the final boss.

I saw "beat" because apparently they buffed the final boss after a particular DLC and it because so difficult to beat with how RNG it gets, that cheesing it is usually the best way to defeat him.


Sucks, the whole game was great however, I dislike when games have you cheese bosses because they made them so RNG dependent that it takes the fun out of it.


Not sure if I'd recommend this game to anyone, anymore.

I loved that game. Didn't know they made things worse (it was already pretty tough).
