I don't know if this game is for everyone but it's definitely for me. The presentation made me fall in love before I attacked a single enemy, and the gameplay from then on continually impressed.

If you have a love for character action games, you'll probably love this. If you love Saturday morning cartoons with heart, you'll probably love this. If you've ever imagined cool fight scenes in sync with your favorite songs, you will probably love this. I was all three and this is an easy GOTY contender already. If somehow I play another game I love as much as this one, 2023 will have been a killer year for gaming.

Great deckbuilder and a genre defining game. A game with in near infinite skill ceiling

Beautifully written game with a fascinating, unsettling setting to match.

This game won't get the recognition it deserves. Truly a pleasure to play. Tight controls and verb set, haunting environments with highly detailed and layered pixel art, enchanting tunes to fit the mood, and sizable map with secrets to find.

Little bit Metroidvania, little bit Souls, little bit Cave Story, and an all around blast to play. My only wish is that there was more; but hey, for the price and the fact that it was made with such a small team, it's definitely a fantastic game.

And, I definitely recommend playing through previous entries in the series. While not as polished, they're still impressive games with an emphasis on responsive combat.

Pretty steep price for such a quick experience, but it's quite different and possibly worth a look for that alone. There's not much I can say without spoiling it, so I'll just say if you're not too put off by the price (seriously it's super short), and you want something on the more avant-garde side, check it out.

Why did I buy this? I'm not sure. It's pretty boring. Buttons feel good to press, but there's just not a lot to do with them.

Oh boy did I drop this game fast. Controls like she's covered in lighter fluid, and if the combat is the majority of this game, as I assume it is, that's unacceptable.

This game's weird. I like it.

This is a tough game to recommend, not because it's bad, but because you really need to be willing to tolerate some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. It sorta does the DMC thing where they'll have difficult platforming sections, right above a room with respawning enemies, and the controls are just not tuned for platforming. The combat is great on the other hand with some great boss fights. And, it's definitely got some room for you to experiment, learn, and get good at it. Sorta like DMC... Basically it's 2D Devil May Cry, for better or worse.

The world is quite beautiful, I enjoyed the music, and the characters look pretty cool. I was kinda sad this game didn't click for me, but maybe I just needed to git gud.

If you've played Origins, you pretty much know what to expect, and if you liked it, you'll like this, too. Game works well, has some fun daily/weekly challenges and leaderboards if that's your jam, and I didn't think it would be mine, but platforming is just plain fun in this game, especially the Murphy stages. Not much negative to say about it; good music, cool playable characters, nice level variety with plenty of hidden goodies.
