this game is HARD! Just look at the other games of this developer you'll know what I meant. Its a difficulty that demands precision with no failure to execute movements that no avarage gamer can do. So only PROS in hardcore plataformers can play this game without (much) worries. BUT To make it worse, it has annoying bugs like in the menu (often locks in it) and in the collision of the character against enemies, or when trying to hold/grip in some places. I really thought this game could be fun, as I was waiting it be released... but I am VERY DISAPPOINTED because I forgot how HARD is the difficulty of this developer's games. Although I may try to clear this to never play it again...

From what I recall playing this game, it felt sort of like a fnaf Security Breach situation: the gameplay was very enjoyable, and I sincerely believe the developer has what it takes to envision a video game project and execute a fun and smooth gameplay experience, but the amount of bugs in the game really hinders my ability to enjoy it. My keyboard controls won't even save when I exit and re-enter the game, and combined with other bugs, this makes it quite infuriating for me to get into speedrunning the game. Despite this, I think the game is a lot of fun for casual playthroughs and challenge runs, including achievements, and the combo system and bosses feel really solid. [h1] Cons [/h1] [list] [*]BUGS. Bosses like [spoiler]Moka and B.O.S.H.Y.[/spoiler] have a history of odd behavior and cheese strats, though these issues have largely been patched out by now. Other small issues include occasional weird behavior with enemy shields, occasional sped-up animations and infinitely spawning rocks (causing immense game lag) on [spoiler]Reanimated Field Marshall[/spoiler], indefinite music looping if a player exits a save file immediately before a new track fades in, and probably more that I can't think of right now. However, the developer is responsive and has historically attempted to patch out issues that players bring to his attention, but this has often created new issues that weren't present before. [*]A few platforming saves likely have not been properly playtested, particularly in [spoiler]The Crypt and Sekkian Hive 2, the latter being virtually impossible if I recall correctly[/spoiler]. [*]It feels a bit clunky to have to pause the game to use consumables; it sort of detracts from the boss fight experience. [*]I'm still confused as to why save points need to have limited respawns. At the very least, there's a consumable in the game that directly counteracts this issue. [/list] [h2] Pros [/h2] [list] [*]The combo system feels very nice. Once you get it down, it makes the combat feel fluid and engaging. [*]Trinkets are generally well-balanced and creative and they support a variety of playing styles adequately (damage-based, health-based, defense-based, gimmick-based, etc.). [*]Achievements and challenge runs are fun to do. [*]Bosses and enemies are creatively designed and generally fair. [*]Fun references like [spoiler]B.O.S.H.Y. and King of Death = Skeleton King[/spoiler]. [/list] There was a lot in this game that I genuinely enjoyed. However, I feel the extensive bugs in this game detract from a typical player's experience enough that I can't in good faith recommend this game to someone else.
