Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
22 of 145 sampled reviews raised it
The narrative also mostly keeps up with this pace, progressing along nicely as you continue on your journey.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
19 of 145 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics and art style are pretty good, animation is fine, sound is nice, controls are responsive (if fussy with the hitboxes) and it doesn’t take long to finish.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
14 of 145 sampled reviews raised it
The atmosphere is great, the gameplay is challenging but (mostly) not frustrating, combat (including bosses) feels satisfying, and the mechanics are overall pretty creative and unique (at least, I haven't played any games that have identical gameplay).
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
6 of 145 sampled reviews raised it
Can recommend this game mainly if it's on discount as it's a bit short if you're good with a controller (~3 hours if speedy with a couple hundred deaths).
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
5 of 145 sampled reviews raised it
The sound effects in general are quite satisfying, and while the music isn't the best around by any means, it fits the game well enough.
