I was really looking forward to it, but then I got bored very quickly. I found the level and enemy design in particular rather uninspired, it seemed like a rather janky 2D Souls clone.

O jogo me irritou pelas "homenagens" a Dark Souls. O combate tinha um certo peso legal, mas toda a exploração foi ruim. Parei de jogar com proximo da metade do jogo, percebi que só estava jogando para ver se matava os chefes bem, e eles não eram muito interessantes.

Uma mistura de metroidvania com souls-like que resulta em um jogo ok.

A bland metroidvania Souls-like
One of the games that copys Dark Mechanics with poor understanding

I loved this game, but 4 years later I have to talk about a version of it that not longer exists. I'll admit, I haven't played the updated version. Perhaps many years from now I'll return to it, but for now I have fond memories of a rather short little Metroidvania that probably got buried by the sheer amount of those games that came out in 2018. I hope it found a greater audience with the update.

Fairly enjoyable 2D action RPG that wears its inspiration on its sleeve and even directly jokes about it.

I enjoyed the artstyle and enemy / boss design. However, character progression and customization is relatively shallow, and some boss fights on Heroic feel a bit too random for my liking.
