- Graphics, music, and story were all just… fine. Nothing amazing, nothing terrible. Good theming, if not a little overdone. I enjoyed the art direction.
- Gameplay was ok, but of course I found myself comparing it to Hades constantly. This game has parry and a limited number of dodges though, so the combat feels very different. Not to my liking but I see the appeal. It also had a cool light system but felt clunky at times. Maybe I just needed more time with it.
- I think I’m just a bit spoiled with how much direction Hades let you shape your runs with. This game is very much a traditional roguelite where you are at the mercy of RNG and can’t seem to do much to influence it. Again, not for me but I see the appeal.
- I can’t recommend this in 2023. I think when it came out, it was probably a stellar game. There’s nothing wrong with it, but it just felt a little flat for me since other games have (read: Hades) have come out and did better. I gave it a solid 3 hours or so on a plane and well… just go play Hades.
