What players say
90% of 1,546 reviews are positive · 90% of 10 in the last 30 days
Players praise the music and fast combat, with many singling out the boss fights. Common complaints include difficulty that depends heavily on character level, awkward dash jumps, and a late point of no return that can leave an underleveled character stuck.
