Just love the overall design and the smart, brutal combat that keeps you pressing forward towards glory. Highly recommended! ❤️

This is looking great. The gameplay looked fun to me, and I do like the visual presentation as well. I'm glad to hear that it is just as good as the trailers and announcement made it seem. I think I'll have to pick it up sooner rather than later. Thanks for the review.

yep gonna get this i think. tried it on apple arcade and didn’t like the touch controls at all, so this is a welcome chance to try it again

Just to mention, the bestiary is SUPER cool, the credit are AWESOME and there's HD rumble (at least on Switch).

This one looks fun, I think I'll have to give it a try. Both the gameplay and the aesthetic seem charming.

Ok this looks cool and more than a few people have been mentioning it so I might check it out.

I wish this was on the quest 3, how unique would that be. And the depth etc would be great

Very odd but cool looking little hack n slash game. Great review.

Been playing this game and quite enjoying it.
It's a great game for people who like Souls games but want something in digestible bite-sized chunks.
That said, I'm only about 2/3 of the way through the game (Ch 7), and haven't completed it. Some ppl have complained about the difficulty level of the game, and that could partly be due to the EXP loss mechanic, or due to a possible difficulty spike later in the game that I haven't encountered yet.
Also, for people who like this aesthetic, I'd like to point to Door in the Woods, an ASCII horror roguelike that does something similar by giving perspective and depth to lo-fi graphics.

Have you tried the randomizer mode?? I am so curious about that!

It looks like I will blee consuming this title soon.

At least he's handing you your butt instead of throwing it at you.
