It started out a bit slow. The controls and movement felt too slow for the level design. But then I kind of got into it. It was a bit hard for me, but fair. Some of the boss battles were pretty tricky for me. Ultimately, they just came down to learning the attack patterns and dodge timing, but I am not great at that. Also, some of the platforming was tricky. But again fair. It almost had a "souls" like feel, although the leveling mechanic was kinder than a souls game (you didn't need to recover your souls when you died).

The story was weird, and not totally clear in the end. It is not a game you play for the story.

Overall, if you are into metroidvania like games, I think it is worth giving it a try.
