The verdict
A hard Celeste-style precision platformer with guns and metroidvania elements, with gorgeous pixel art and music. Skip it if you dislike long unskippable dialogue, spongy bosses, or harsh checkpoints.
Great for
Celeste and metroidvania fans who enjoy tough platforming and boss fights and don't mind a talky story
Main risk
Punishing difficulty, spongy enemies and long unskippable dialogue wear down patience
