Great game, lot of fun :)

The pixel art is simply gorgeous. However, I am more confused than anything else, about the mechanics. But perhaps, it is by design. If you can handle difficult games, perhaps this is for you. It is not exactly for me.

Really challenging and fun with retro styling, modern features. Thankful for the remap so can play with an arcade stick more easily. I wish i could figure out how to reset auto hacking terminals to manual.

Brutal Souls-like/Metroidvania hybrid. Amazing atmosphere and soundtrack. Worth the cost of entry if you are a fan of this genre and sci-fi.

Difficult to grasp and very busy to look at. There [i]might[/i] be a decent game in there for someone with a lot of patience and tolerance, but I was unable to get past this to give it a fair shake.

Through 5+ hours of gaming, I am happy to report that this is an extremely fun Souls-like Metroidvania. The pixel graphics set the scene for a fun and surprisingly deep romp through an expansive universe.

The controls are barely functional and enemies deal a truly ridiculous amount of damage. I jumped off ledges and insta-died at least ten times in a row in the third area. You can't pan with the camera to see what's below you, so lots of blind jumping into the abyss. You also lose all progress since the last save when you die. Concepts are poorly explained and virtually nothing is marked or labeled either on the map in the world. The atmosphere is amazing and the graphics are beautiful, but this is pretty half-baked and completely unpolished. At a bare minimum the controls need to be more refined (the dash in particular is completely out of control) and save points and other important landmarks need to be marked somehow.

I enjoy the cyberpunk-y vibes with this metroidvania title. Features soem very nice pixel art. It has a mix of Souls and RPG mechanics. I haven't gotten too far into the game but from what I've played it has been clearly well crafted. Will definitely keep comin' back to this one. Gameplay here: https://youtu.be/yoTTcDS7QRQ

Challenging but very rewarding and versatile. Arriving in the city was a great moment where the game really opened up. I love the different planets and how quickly you get stronger with upgrades. I've played for more than 10 hours now and I'm only 23% of the way through - very excited to continue and how it will evolve. Definetly recommend this game.

Game is cool. Unique mechanics from what I can see. I play quite a bit of metroidvania type games but not all of them capture me to finish. So far I'm juggling a few different games because of my backlog but the pixel art is good, the mechanics feel fresh when combining them for platforming and reaching secret areas. The gear system seems cool and there is crafting. The auto lockon feature is actually very useful. There also seems to be quite a bit of customization even from early on in the game. No bugs thus far either which is always a plus. Also just here to give a thumbs up so more people can find and experience the game.
