Well... That's a Vanillaware knock-off, in a good sense. Specially when you consider how cheap the game is.
The characters art are not to my liking but the characters have a somewhat interesting story/dialogue.
Gameplay is really solid and doesn't bring anything new to the table.
Good, quick fun for a few bucks. Don't expect anything extraordinary.

The grind is real in this one. Also, it is really hard. Probably the hardest CV.
Everything you might need requires grind, A LOT of grind.
The gameplay is really cool, tho. Classic CV with the DSS mechanic makes for a great time.
Story is extremely barebones so don't even bother.
Play it with savestates otherwise you're wasting your time.

Holy moly. This metroidvania is amazing. The setting is absolutely bonkers in a good way, with various references to religion. The combat is simple yet extremely effective and satisfying. Exploration could be better, as in, you do not get movement upgrades when progressing, you gotta go after relics that alter the world and allow you to explore new areas. It is a great idea but I think it could be improved.
All in all, one of the best metroidvania that I've played. You just gotta push through the start, which cna be a little daunting for some.

Really good action adventure game, like zelda. The presentation is absolutely perfect (sound, graphics, writing, etc) and the story is very good as well.
The combat is on the simple side, which is not bad but does not do any good for the game. The upgrades also do not feel meaningful.
The lack of a map is one of the most important omissions of the game, which really hurt it.
Nonetheless, a great and short game. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
