As someone who is not typically a fan of souls-likes, I found this game quite fun. It's a simplified version of the genre which probably helped me, but that simplicity does have its flaws, especially for those who do enjoy the genre.
The combat is nice though repetitive over time, yet it feels tight and responsive. I found the sub quests being different routes through the same map to be entertaining and a good use of the budget, finding doors that were sealed before opening to a new area and having that, "Oh, this is where I am" moments.
Bosses, save maybe 2, are quite easy and uninteresting themselves. Wihtout voice acting, it was hard to read whatever they were saying during their fights. Story is pretty much entirely text through documents because of this.
The world itself is... I'm not sure, empty yet stylish. I was looking forward to seeing the next maps aesthetic and environment.
Overall, I can recommend this for the 20$ price tag, especially since you don't have to replay through the whole game for different endings, assuming you've fought every boss.
