Too many of the enemies are simple fodder that can be killed by spamming the sword attacks, The Shotgun weapon does way too much damage, completely one-shotting tougher brute enemies and does massive damage to bosses. The downside is that everything before the South is very easy and lacks in enemy variety, which is definitely a shame. The difficulty really starts to pick up in the South desert area with a lot of genuinely challenging bosses. You WILL need to find some secrets to beat the game since certain main story parts are hidden behind secrets passages. There will be a certain small symbol that will be on the ground near secrets which helps you figure out where hidden passages and invisible platforms are. There are a LOT of secrets in the game, but they aren't exactly completely hidden. The main gameplay loop consists of exploring an area, fighting enemies, finding secrets, then ending each area off with a boss fight. I also played on hardest difficulty that was available at the start, which was not as hard as many other people make it out to be. Thankfully, you CAN change it in the settings, but I found out about it half-way through the game. I don't understand why that's the case since every top-down action game has always made dash separately tied to WASD. The first thing is that I played with Mouse & Keyboard and the game for some reason ties the direction of your dash towards where you're aiming with your mouse, which you use to aim your gun and sword attacks. The overall gameplay is good, but there are some issues I have with it. Don't go into this game expecting an incredible story. Much of the story is left for the player's own interpretation. There is zero dialogue between any characters. The music is fine, it was mostly quiet and more ambient environmental sounds, which fits with the game's story, which is extremely minimalistic. That was the first thing that caught my attention when I saw this game and it's likely that's also the first thing many others noticed as well. The visuals are unique and have a strange neon sci-fi aesthetic. 11h PlayedA short top-down action adventure game.
