10 of 62 sampled reviews raised it
I really enjoyed the large map, varied zone themes, difficulty level, and upgrade system.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
6 of 62 sampled reviews raised it
It uses a simple move-set of double-jumps, a dash, and one attack; then works these responsive controls into a finely honed challenge of combat and platforming.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
6 of 62 sampled reviews raised it
It caught my eye because it falls into the genre that I love (Metroidvanias) and features an 8-bit art style similar to classic “Castlevania” titles which I also hold in high regard.
