What players say

91% of 51,388 reviews are positive · 79% of 137 in the last 30 days

Players praise the fast movement, combat, soundtrack, and satisfaction of learning enemy layouts well enough to complete a clean run. Common complaints focus on repeated one-hit deaths, inconsistent-feeling movement and parry timing, and frustrating platforming or puzzle sections, especially late in the game.
