About this game

Available exclusively for Netflix members.

Become a crow who reaps souls. It's a dead-end job, but when a thief steals your work, you set off on a sword-slashing quest to unearth death's secrets.

When your day (and night) job is reaping the souls of the dying, the office can start to feel a little dead — except in the very rare case where a soul is stolen. That's when things get interesting.

Play as a cute, soul-reaping crow in this fantasy RPG that brings talon-sharp combat to an epic quest for the titan-sized soul that got away. Hack and slash through mysterious magic doors, cutting down wild beasts and tyrannical bosses on the way through dungeons where death isn't working as it should. Which, by the way, is also a problem. Your problem.

Features:

• Discover an arsenal of magic weapons including swords, hammers, bows and spells and use them to help the crow take down a series of whimsically dangerous dungeon bosses.
• Customize your crow with upgrades that increase strength, dexterity, haste and magic to shape the most efficient lil' soul reaper around.
• Battle through colorful and quirky realms like the well-appointed Estate of the Urn Witch and the Frog King's swampy dungeon.
• Track down whoever stole the giant soul and uncover larger mysteries that shape the crows' world, their jobs and the nature of death itself.
• Meet a cast of weird and wonderful characters who might have intel on the soul thief. Or they have their own problems to worry about. Problems that only a tiny, soul-reaping crow can solve.

Ratings and reviews

Not a game for casual players. If you're just trying to have a little fun, this isn't it. Way more difficult that expected, no way to make it any easier, and the controls are really awkward. The art and story are cool, but immediately ruined by the lack of being able to progress. Not everyone is a gaming pro, and some of us don't actually even like the challenge. We get it, another Dark Souls-type game.. (snore). Alright, I guess I'll go play the crab game if this is all there is anymore. -_-

Clear souls inspiration, great game eith tons of secrets, great art style and execution. 4 stars only for the on screen controls, the movement stick needs a very accurate touch. I do believe this problem is blown a little out of proportion in other reviews, its not that bad. I've played through a full section of the game, bosses included, using these controls. If the developer added a feature that let you resize the controls, the problem would be fixed immediately.

Challenging and fun at the same time. I genuinely enjoyed moving through different areas, gaining abilities and finding hidden secrets. The plot was very interesting and there's an additional piece of the story at the end if you find it. I played over 21 hours of this game (mainly cause I struggled more than I care to admit) and got a complete 100%. Absolutely love it and look forward to similar games
