I heard "Lodoss" name somewhere but I can't remember lol. Seems like a legend IP. Also knowing this IP originally an RPG game (or anime maybe?) and then this one is their first metroidvania game actually got my interest. Especially the story itself looks like a love letter to older fans and surprisingly hinting some sequel or new series. The ending is quite touchy though.
Very short game but pretty solid "castlevania" style on it. Impressed by how small game size is and has perfect classic pixel style. Probably because the dev using their internal game engine and very optimized for this type of game. You can use close and long range (bow) weapon, but bow I think is so overpowered and you gonna use it like A LOT for boss battle. Most of puzzle also require bow. Maybe because Deedlit is an elf and usually elf's specialty is using bow. You also helped by 2 spirits : wind and fire. This is the game's main mechanic. Very interesting and has unique use case. Not only your attack will imbued with that element, both have special skill. Wind can absorb wind damage, used for gliding to avoid spiky trap or enemy skill. Fire can absorb fire damage, walk on lava, and longer sliding. This mechanic very attached to the game, most boss battle required you to switch both spirits frequently and that's very fun! Also spirit has 3 level, the higher the stronger your damage is. At level 3, it can regen your HP. But their level can reduced if you get hit. Can't see playtime, maybe around ~6 hours. Pretty solid metroidvania game. If you are "Record of Lodoss" fan then playing this is a must. This makes me want to play Castlevania for real (I haven't play one lol).
