Steam review snapshots
It’s not particularly difficult, though the bosses can feel a bit tedious due to the limited combat mechanics.i agree with ballisticwillow10 and SeptemberYT, IF you have a controller it is okay and game is "hard" and by hard it…The game can be confusing but once you get the mecanics, you roll and jump to the end of the game.While the pixel art is clean and functional, few locations stand out as particularly distinct, which slightly dulls the sense of discovery…Why it fits
Check it if you want action, adventure filtered by dark, metroidvania, pixel art.
