Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
edit: ok the gameplay is pretty good and almost makes up for the early frustration, but it's not great. most FPS magic games are complete ass but this one has some fun mechanics. playing on the hardest difficulty so far and it feels fair. the transformations are pretty cool and adds a bunch of variety for exploration and combat.

Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
Unlike most FPS games, you can transform into creatures and use their abilities to progress, for example, changing into a golem to break cracks in the wall.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
That combined with the very campy voice acting creates such a unusual vibe.

The game was created by a French developer- the characters speak in English but have French accents.

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
Unless I was missing some keybind to show inventory item info again, the only way you'll know what something does is by making sure to read the top left text pop-up when you pick an item up before it quickly fades away.
