This is the most Igavania-like indie game that I've ever played and that's a double edged sword. The fact it reminded me so strongly of Symphony of the Night and the GBA and DS Igavanias had me thinking of superior games, but it also executed on these concepts fairly well. The sprite work is gorgeous, weapons and spells are satisfying, and there are some neat enemy designs. The map felt strictly horizontal instead of being a more intertwined world, which hindered exploration slightly. I also found it to be pretty easy, with only a couple of accidental deaths when I wasn't paying close attention to my health. Last thing that stuck out to me was the story, which was all over the place and crammed with jargon--I didn't feel as though it executed well on its strong premise.
