Despite the looks, this game has nothing to do with Dead Cells. Anyone who says otherwise must not have played it. Yes, it's a side scroll platformer with different loadout options, but that's about it. It's not a rogue-like, it doesn't have randomly generated levels. It's a lot slower-paced, the inventory is just annoying, the stat upgrades for your character are so incremental, it feels useless (unless they changed that in the last couple months). The soundtrack is very 'meh', the enemy design feels uninspired. The bosses are too easy — and I'm saying that as someone who isn't especially good at these kinda games and it took me ages to beat Dead Cells for the first time, but that was still way more fun. I played until the level with the gas leaks you have to close. That's where I got so annoyed that I uninstalled. If you die right before the boss, you can't just skip the enemies on that level because the gas leaks will kill you if you skip them. So you have to go through the whole level, again. Paired with the overall slow pace and uninspired combat, that's when I had enough and went back to Hades and Dead Cells. If you like the sluggish pace, maybe this is for you. It was, however, not what I was looking for or had imagined.
