Atmospheric pixel roguelite game with some great visuals and a soulslike world but with incredibly uneven mechanics and combat.
Genuinely beautiful & enigmatic environments and interesting characters and descriptions gave a strong first impression. Unfortunately the badly communicated controls offer us barely serviceable gameplay... Clunky character navigation and unenjoyable combat hold the game back from creating an addictive gameloop. Which is crucial for a roguelike game, especially if the progression is as dry as it is.
I honestly think there is loads of potential in this title, from the world, to the art and even some of the neat gameplay ideas like introducing some tetris-puzzle platforming into the mix. But I fear there is still some work to be done to the gameplay fundamentals before it'll be able to shine.
