What players love

What players love

Players praise the parry-first, deliberate swordplay above all, placing it next to Sekiro and the Souls games, and single out the hand-crafted pixel art and animation again and again. They call the bosses lessons worth learning, enjoy it alone or in co-op, and say the challenge of this dark witch hunt pays back every hour.
