A Game that sticks with you.
Gameplay is great, but what really got me was the worldbuilding and the maudlin bittersweet feeling I got similar to playing a Quintet game. I Highly reccomend.

Joakim does it again
A fantastic puzzle platformer with hard, but fair boss battles. Many of the game's mechanics are explained during the way, while some require you to use them before they've been properly introduced. They both blend into an experience that demands players to actually do some thinking themselves. Game seems lengthy as well, with 5 hours and only 25% or so progressions. If you've played any Joakim Sandberg's game before (Noitu Love, Legend of Princess) you know the attention to detail and animations are superb. According to Konjak's website Iconoclasts took a mindbonkingly 10 years (!) to make - and he made it all by himself. Bows and hats off and respect. That's not something anyone can do and joins ranks with masters like Dean Dodrill (Dust: An Elysian Tail), Daisuke 'Pixel' Amaya (Cave Story), Thomas Happ (Axiom Verge) and Lucas Pope (Paper's Please). If you enjoy platformers that require practical thinking, fun dialogues, a lengthy and somewhat dark story and screen filling bosses that won't go down the first time you try, this one's for you.

Overly long
There were at least 3 times I expected the end, but the game went on and on and on... Although it's a solid metroidvania with fun mechanics and puzzles, the setting is boring and half the game you're just waiting for it to be finished.

Don't pass this up.
I think this may be the first review I've written after years on the site. Thank you, Iconoclasts, for breaking me out of my shell. The game is too good not to talk about. The visuals are stellar, able to stand up next to things like Owlboy and perhaps even Metal Slug, with vibrant color and smooth animations. There's a huge amount of subtle character put into the way people and creatures stand, walk, and attack, and a level of detail in backgrounds and environments that is almost too much to handle. The gameplay is tight, responsive and clever. Everything has a place and a purpose-you do not get stronger as you progress, you just get new tools, and then new puzzles and enemies to use those tools on. Simply moving from point a to point b is a simple joy, and though there were moments of frustration in bossfights and level exploration, it was usually enough to just come back with fresh eyes and ace the thing the second time around (And that is from someone terrible at videogames in general.) The story is just great. The world is fascinating, with interesting lore detailed societies. Every character is likable, or at least understandable, with a few even being downright tragic. And, as in some of my favorite games ever, the stakes start small and relatable, but spiral outward into something grand, but still with personal weight for our main cast. Final note: yes, this game was made almost in its entirety by one person, and for that alone it deserves a little attention. The fact that it is so good besides just makes it a no-brainer, at least to myself. I'm always one to stick up for the talented little guys in this world of bloated, bland major releases. Short version: This game is a masterpiece. If you have any interest in sidescrollers, Metroidvanias, or just well-executed games, you really, really ought to check this out.
