On the bright side, the checkpoints are plentiful and you may spend a special "tear" thingie to add a warp function to any of them and teleport at your leisure.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
71 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The art style and audio are fantastic, and if your expectations are high, keep them there.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.

Platforming is solid though it can be a bit unforgiving, but respawning is fast especially if you enable instant respawn in the settings and you can just try again without lingering negative effects.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
46 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Alwa's Legacy is colorful, lively, easy to pick up, the controls are intuitive, and the hitboxes are generous.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

It's available on their Bandcamp for a name-your-price fee so be sure to throw them some love if you like the OST as much as I do.
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Verified working on Steam Deck, graphics are colorful and the story is engaging, so far I am having fun with it but I'll update once I get a bit further into the story.
