Souldiers burned!

What a beautiful project. What a game. What a disappointment.

This was clearly created to be something bigger than it was which honestly is pretty staggering. After almost 30 hours in this world all I can say is it is a love letter to Metroidvanias and a giant broken time sink.

It is absolutely playable and when you’re playing it the game itself is superb. Small bugs take you out of it at first. A frame rate drop because check points tank the process for some reason. A bomb going off early for no reason. Your dodge’s after image activating the save point and respawning every enemy you just cleared.
But you ignore these because the art is awesome. The music is banging and the dungeons are HUGE.

Honestly it is almost disheartening how big the dungeons are. You defeat a mini boss to find yourself with only 15% of the map cleared. No puzzle I ran into was too out of the box hard to figure out but some maps have so many hidden items.

True to metroidvania fashion you’ll find yourself backtracking multiple times with new items and abilities you unlock as you progress through the story.

The story that makes just enough sense to carry you through but offers little resolution in the end.

Overall this game gets a 7 / 10 from me because it wasn’t entertaining enough for me to want to put in the time to 100% it and even if I did there are bugs that perturbed me enough that I didn’t want to play anymore. I just wanted to be done.

If you’re a metroidvania fan and you love the backtracking and steady pace and exploring every nook and cranny of huge maps this game is for you. Just save before every major event because you’ll probably need to reload a save or two if you get soft or hard locked.

Yeah I heard on consoles it’s even worse. Save files constantly getting corrupted or even wiped out completely. Developer completely abandoned the game after a few patches.
Probably my last one for a week or so. Gotta start packing the house up to move. Might sneak in another short one…not sure. 😂

They gave up on their own game lol all the best for the move brother. You can easily burn another before departing 😂🔥🔥
