Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
21 of 52 sampled reviews raised it
A low-budget but really decent Metroidvania with lots of exploration, abilities to discover, and mostly fluid movement.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
15 of 52 sampled reviews raised it
Because healing and melee were so strong, I never wanted to use energy for any of the ranged attacks - I think it would have worked better if healing and ranged used separate resources like the arrows in Islets.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
13 of 52 sampled reviews raised it
If you're tired of linear metroidvanias or soulslike metroidvanias and want something that is true to the genre's origins then this is a absolute must play metroidvania.
