Wow, surprised I'm the first review for this one. I've only been playing this for an hour so it's more first impressions, but it's very cool and enjoyable so far. I found a link to this on Twitter/X, and glad I did. It basically plays like 2-D Zelda with a bit of a creepy vibe. Music is good. Fighting monsters is a challenge and feels good when you clear them out, and the puzzles are enjoyable. At least based on what I've played so far, I can definitely recommend this to someone who enjoys the gameplay of Zelda games like Link To The Past, except you're basically just thrown into the dungeon and there isn't going around talking to characters, which I find nice, I like just getting thrown into the action. I might update this once I'm finished with it but it looks like it needs reviews. Oh and it works great on Steam Deck, that's where I'm playing it from.
