Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Besides mining like in Terraria through 3 maps with increased difficulty, this metroidvania provides good enough challenge for a PEGI-7 rating game.
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
