I really don’t see this being a 7 such as IGN Put this but I think any fan of Metroid and Castlevania can endure this difficulty and appreciate this game. It has dark souls artwork but this game is more Castlevania and I cherish it more for that. It’s unfair at times but the art style, soundtrack, and awesome souls-like lore-type of syntactic and dialect are awesome. The voice acting is not A+ but it’s certainly not unbearable by any means. This game may not be a perfect 10 such as super Metroid but this game is Great! I think this game if I were to rate would be an 8.75. The story is compelling for a 2D game ina modern sense. The environmental artwork is pleasing to the eyes and the solid frame rate even on the switch at 60 FPS is something to behold. Sure there aren’t a ton of moves but what else can u do with a 2D game. This game was well enjoyable even with the sometimes unforgivable bosses. On my second play through;. However; once you know the correct path to take it seems the bosses are designed harder and unforgiving for a reason. It has its BS moments but so does a lot of souls like games and 2D games. This is certainly bearable and I assure that any fan of either souls-Bourne or Metroid-Vania; will enjoy their time with this indie!
