Beautiful artwork, music, writing- this game packs an unexpected amount of punch.

Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
The combat system is really fun thanks to the player’s active involvement, but as a very casual gamer, I found the difficulty a bit unbalanced.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
As for visuals, the sprites and scene artwork is surprisingly high-quality for an indie title.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
So this is obviously a review in progress, but I wanted to do one with my Steam Deck, I'm just gonna say that it plays splendidly, I'm usually not too keen on this style of game, but I tried that Demo after seeing it on Twitter and reading the story available of the developpment and actually fell in love with it, I highly recommend, this game, from the graphics, the artstyle, the soundtrack, and gameplay are usually not in my cup of tea, but I really love it

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The music complements every scene perfectly, enhancing the emotions in a way that felt more like a AAA game soundtrack than an indie OST.

Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
Playing on the steam deck or a handhold console is the ideal way to play this, as it will resolve any imperfections with resolution that you might see on a monitor.
