After remapping the controls to a more traditional Souls-like setup and getting used to the enemy behavior and boss encounters, the experience became surprisingly smooth.

As well as the entirely hand-drawn art style, which, while very rough looking, does an amazing job of conveying the intended setting and atmosphere for the game.
