An impressive native port on the Evercade
Cathedral is a great game with a few issues. I enjoyed the combat and boss fights. You'll probably die a few times with the early bosses, the later ones a little bit more. Exploring the areas and finding health upgrades and healing potions is a must.
For the first 3/4 of the game, I really enjoyed exploring the areas. I ran into a spot later in the game where I spent over an hour trying to figure out where to go next. I thought I figured it out but ended up doing a side quest that had an okay reward. After that I did figure out where to go next but I would into total I spent 2-3 going to the wrong areas and not getting a lot of out of it. Later in the game money is pointless except for a heath boast, so I would just try to skip fighting enemies when possible. You don't get any experience for killing enemies.
I read some complaints about the final area. I didn't think it was bad but maybe it was because I had 7 health potions. It was long but there were hp shrines to refill your potions. The final boss did require me to go get the last 2 health potions and do a health boast to beat it. Some bosses require you to switch between sub weapons. Those can be frustrating but at least you can disable the ones not needed for that fight.
Now with the port on Evercade. Like I said earlier, it is an impressive native port. It did crash on me once when going between screens fast. It also crashed on me when exiting the game. You have to exit the game for the Evercade EXP to track you play time. The system did get a little hot when playing this.
I look forward to seeing what Decemberborn Interactive makes next.
