Ratings and reviews

Took a bit to get used to the controls, as they are a bit unusual for an action game. Very much a love letter to Metroidvania type games, love the atmosphere and tone of the visual style. Highest recommendation I can give for a game, would give 10 stars if I could. Worth every dollar and then some. Edit 5/13/23- When reaching the dlc areas, framerate tanks occasionally. Not sure why, never had a problem before. Samsung A53 5G phone. Shouldn't have this problem on a new mid-range device.

Wonderful game. Great design, style, graphics, and music. Minimal but fairly intriguing story. Almost finished it for the first time, and I love it. Touch controls are fantastic for mobile, though very, very occasionally I'm unable to use additional weapons for no reason. This game feels a little like a simplified, mobile-first Dead Cells with its own spin on mechanics. Absolutely worth the price (and an absolute must if you catch it on a discount).

This may be the best premium mobile game I've ever played. The unique control scheme takes time and practice to adjust to but works surprisingly well for a mobile device and the environment/combat is made for it, there's tons of exploration to be done with your abilities, the soundtrack is eerie and atmospheric, and the pixel art is simple and charming. If anything, I just wish the fast travel menu would highlight the specific areas on the map first, as the names alone can be tough to remember.
