Windmills

this is a sekiro-soullike with metroidvania elements. you play as a warrior exploring a medieval aged fantasy world facing off against ogres, kobolds, knights, mages and different monsters. the game is heavily focused on 1v1 and boss combat. you rarely face more than 2 enemies at a time and most of the time your fighting a single enemy parrying dodging and attacking. your character dies in 3 hits most of the time, but everytime you parry you heal one third of your health. parries are easy to pull of with the games super tight and responsive control. difficulty is roughly the same as the soul games, you could argue that its a little bit harder since bosses got so many attacks with different timings to learn remember and execute correctly. there is also very little character progressions so your not going to be able to grind your way out if you get stuck. i would say the game is 7-12 hours long depending on how good you are and how much you explore. i did not see any bugs in my playthrough, but the game got a absolutely horrible screenshake everytime you block-parry a enemy, and your going to be parrying alot in this game. i could only play for 1-2 hours at a time due to the horrible screenshake. other than the screenshake and lack of character progressions i dont have anything but good things to say about this game. recomended for soullike fans and gamers of above average skill.

Runs on Steamdeck. Nice. I like it.

One of those games, you know the kind. The kind that you think would be cool. Looks good enough, seems smooth enough, has some decent effects, weird graphics, but still clean. And then you play.... after over a month... and you think "man... I should have started that game right after buying it, just so I can return it" And then you try anyway, and of course they deny your refund, as you would expect. Because, yeah, this game has been lying in my library for over a month now. I do realize that it is my own fault, but listen man, I was sold on a trailer that made it look like a smooth, fast, fun game. And I was sold something that I would describe as "clanky", "unresponsive" or maybe just "meh" And that's fine! Some of my favorite games ever are clanky "meh" games! But... this one is not. I beat it... I played more of it... about 4 times more than I ever wanted... And that is more than anyone ever should, but I felt like I should "finish" it. Whatever that's worth. Let's not talk about the fact that, apparently, I broke the flow of the game by beating one of the bosses too early, so I am locked out of an optional fight (not that I would want to do that, the bosses gotten worse and worse, and repetitive as time went on), or maybe I just can't find enough Info on how to get to it. Either way, I am done. We killed our mother and... I feel hollow... what did I play this for? Too prove to myself that I indeed spend 3 bucks on it? I should have just used the time to do something else. Maybe play more ONI... or Silksong.... Why have I played this instead of silksong? Man... Fine. It was a game. And at least the dev seems to be updating it. Kudos to you man. It was... fine.

don't buy it until the devs fix the input detection issues. unplayable like this

Janky movement + Precision platforming + Insta death pits = Peeved gamer. Combat got reeeeal stale by the end. Ended up running past whole armies of enemies. Bossfights were MOSTLY cool though.

hard, but very fun.

I have not yet finished the game but I put this message to the developers. You have made an amazing game that can be joyful to play at times but aggravating at others. To minimize this is firmly believe that you should have more checkpoint in the game as it is very punishing to go through all the room sections again just because you fail some parkour. I also believe you should let players change the action key needed for special moves like dash ect. If that is not possible I believe a better solution is to have the dash be inputted by pressing the jump button after attacking an enemy. Thank you for reading and I hope you take this into consideration. I now understand the button choice after farther incursions into the game. I redact that statemnet. Thank you.

Amazing game, loved every aspect of it!
