Review analysis summary (Reviewed Oct 22, 2026)

Players praise the art and music first in this melancholy dark fantasy metroidvania, which scores 84.5 across 459 analyzed reviews.

👍 Strengths

119 reviews admire the visuals, and some call the art style gorgeous even when they dislike other parts of the game. 98 praise the music, and some say the soundtrack alone carried them through rough stretches. Visuals & Sound ranks 93rd of 1249. 78 value the atmosphere and world, a grim but beautiful fairytale with a bittersweet tone and strong environmental design. Story & World ranks 242nd of 1096.

👎 Where it falls short

76 reviews say the controls and combat feel stiff or sluggish, and some point to odd collision damage that makes moving around painful. Gameplay ranks 765th of 1396. 47 find the difficulty uneven, and some single out poison zones, crowded enemy placement and bosses with too much health. 41 say it is confusing to find the way, and many blame the map, which lacks markers and clear guidance, so some turn to guides. Content Volume ranks 565th of 1351.
