    Soild but could use some polish

    Total Playtime 41 hrs| Cons: Controls are generally cluncky,especially being animation-locked during attacks when you need 2 dodge.Build variety is limited; after enough runs,the relics,spells and shop items become very predictable.Worlds can feel empty and repetitive, Dialogue is lengthy and unskippable.Bugs occasionally ruin runs ive been unable to move or launched outside of the map. | PROS: The story is detailed and solid Im the type of person 2 spam a but find myself reading the dialogue,Most Bosses are well-designed Combos are fun(when the game gives you room to use them)and turning into magical girl is more fun then i thought it would be.Co-op does make the game way better. Overall Yes it has flaws,but I did enjoy the 41 hours I spent so far.Many issues can be solved with updates, so give it a shot

    Risk of Nier

    The game takes some getting used to but the gameplay loop is great. Combat feels very close to Nier Automata with a great soundtrack as well. Levels feel like Risk of Rain but the difficulty rising stays tied to that level. There are a few bugs and some enemies are frustrating, however it was never anything that turned me off of the game. It's a great indie game for $20 or even better if you have gamepass.

    Its decent so far

    Been playing for a day. It is fun. It is sad that you cant even read reviews anymore because of these thin skinned numbskulls see female characters and "slay god" so they lose minds. These ppl are insufferable lol. Here is my take. Characters are interesting Story isnt boring me with too much talking Combat is ok, im sure it'll get better with level ups and dif characters. Dont be afraid of some girl-on-girl subtext and slaying biblical monsters 😉

    Anime girl Nightreign-like! Lil gamepass gem

    Genuinely impressive for an indie team's first time making a 3d action game. It has some heart & soul put into it, but a bit of classic indie jank and bugs are holding it back. Some polish and refinement could take it to the next level. Good characters writing /designs, intriguing world building, hacknslash combo systems, chill af music, and a ton of EVANGELION references, all make for a good $20 package. I tried it first via gamepass but bought it outright to show support to a real indie dev team based in argentina bc i think they deserve it and the game desserves a good life. Looking forward to updates!

    Starts off hard

    The intro movie 👌and vibes 10. Then I get into the town. Town vibing and feeling like I'm in an anime. 😎 Then I start the actual gameplay. Um... what? Its like the gameplay is from a different game than the intro. If you sat and watched the intro. Then someone showed you the gameplay, you would think its from 2 different games... The gameplay you in a field, with weird monsters, and farming enemies to level up. Graphics look like a high-tier Unity itch.io prototype game. Gameplay combat just 2 moves at the beginning, begins to feel like a chore. If ur into games where its about repetitively farming enemies, then this might be a game for you.
