This is the first game I’ve played through Apple Arcade, and honestly it alone has already made the price of entry worth it. The game is tough, but well balanced; with a few minor exceptions, when you die it’s your own fault. It can be completed on Normal difficulty in a few hours, but that’s plenty of time and it doesn’t feel like the game overstayed its welcome. I also want to commend the controls, they feels fluid and intuitive, and not once did it think to myself “this would play better with a controller”. The score is great too, though at louder volumes certain enemy sound effects can be a little grating on the ears. The visuals are another standout, I absolute love the mix between 2D and 3D. To the developers, if there is a sequel I would love some more mechanical variety; we got one awesome world that stands out in terms of game mechanics (I won’t spoil it here), and I’d love to see more of that next time. Overall, I definitely recommend this game to anyone looking for a good challenge!

One of the best mobile games I’ve played, even in 2024. Engaging combat, great progression system, great story. The only thing I would change would be the boss difficulty, because killing the Ghosts that can only be hit in the startup frames of their attack is harder than most of the bosses. Much love, would recommend!

Great souls-like for mobile! Enemy’s and controls are pretty good except for one thing: the blocking… it’s extremely hard to time it right and you can’t just hold up a shield like most souls games.

This game pulls off something I thought was impossible for mobile games. Fast-paced souls-like combat controlled in portrait mode with one finger. And it feels smooth and fun. Couldn’t recommend this game enough.
