I enjoyed playing the game, but the lack of the dev's technical prowess really shows. The advertizing gave the impression of very large scale enemies and environment, which left me rather disapointed with the end result. The Good: -Art and Music: The level art is very beautiful and the character art is good as well. The music is very good and fitting to the environments. The Bad: -Gameplay: This is supposed to be a metroidvainia, but there are no movement upgrades. In addition, the level design is small, making exploratition not really part of the core gameplay, and once a boss is defeated, there is never a reason to go back. Apparently all of the inspiration from shadow of the colossus was scraped. There were gifs of this type of gameplay early on. Showing "gameplay" that hasn't actually been successfuly implemented is false advertising. An optional "boss" is literally a dps race. Dodging takes so much stamina that it is impossible to avoid damage through skill on a couple of bosses with low strength builds that can't block efficiently either. The skill tree is the same for all classes, and for the most part uninteresting or even mostly useless for specific class types. -Audio: The music cuts off harshly during area transitions. There are problems with inconsistent sound volumes when unequiping items, somtimes being painfully loud, and seemingly playing multiple times stacked on top of each other. -Technical: Debuging(?) tools have been left in, and I had to reset the game less than 5min in. Don't press the F keys. Controls don't save and I had a shortcut path reset bettween sessions. UI and tutorial messages do not reflect custom controls. A vendor says he is going to get new items, but never does; I don't think there are any. Neutral: There is no fashion, there is only a single weapon of each type, and a 3 attack combo, a jump attack, or a roll attack is the limit of the moveset. The story got wierd and was overall kinda bland. I shouldn't have to call the horse.
