Steam review snapshots
The gameplay is fun, I really like the pixel art, getting all the collectibles was fun, there wasnt anything overly hard about…The combat, story and map exploration feels great, and the art-style is gorgeous, the only real (and debatably big con) IMO is…The steampunk aesthetic and soundtrack give the game a strong identity, while the exploration stays consistently rewarding throughout.It feels like someone wrote their fantasy novel (given the overly-long and somewhat pompous dialogues full of references to unseen things and…Why it fits
Check it if you want action, adventure filtered by weird, single-player.
