Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The game plays well enough, and the biggest suprise to me was that the story is not just cute, but thoughtful.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Sure we all have different tastes, but in a sea of metroidvanias - which seems to be the indie developer go-to genre alongside rougelites - the graphics certainly help this one stand out.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
That to earn all the achievements requires needless repetition, as well as less enjoyment due to gruelling, not fun gameplay limitations, means that I can personally attest that this title isn't for the completionists amongst us.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
This is further enhanced by the game’s sound design and music, which help create a strong atmosphere without overwhelming the action.

I also played all this on my steam deck and I must say that this feel like a game that was made for the system.
