One of the most important aspects of a soulslike game is the bosses, and they were really fun.

I grant this game a generous 3/10 the maid outfit is no joke the best aspect of the game, making up 1/3rd of my final score, the other 2 go to Nephro for the great voice acting and the Royal Shellspiltter for being the best boss, everything else kinda stinks tho.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
38 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
When a game pairs inviting, playful visuals with overtly dark subject matter and real-world–adjacent messaging, clarity and responsibility in how those themes are handled become even more important.
