The verdict
A slow, heavy, clunky early Souls-like with striking armor and art, but a nauseating camera shake and crashes. Skip it if you get motion sick or want polish.
Great for
Souls-like fans who like slow, heavy combat, big armor and cheap sale pickups
Main risk
Nauseating camera shake and slow, clunky combat make it unplayable for many
