Steam review snapshots
It's challenging, Emma and her weird head spinning around is adorable, the pixel artstyle is excellent, and there's a ton of collectibles…The item effects, the bosses (their attack patterns and even some eerily similar names…While the keyboard controls are fine, the controller support is less desirable, even though it's still supported.The visuals are a touch drab and the soundtrack recycles itself like its trying to distil compost but the game itself has…Why it fits
Check it if you want action filtered by single-player.
