The verdict
A very short, free student-project hack-and-slash demo with attractive visuals but shallow combat, a Chinese-only story and a broken achievement. Skip it if you want depth.
Great for
Players with half an hour to kill who want a free, good-looking hack-and-slash curiosity
Main risk
A tiny, unfinished, buggy demo with a broken achievement and no English story
What players love
Free and impressive for a student project

Clunky, shallow combat and dumb AI
Mentioned in ~1 in 4 negative reviews
“your attacks don't have any knockback or interrupts, so you'll constantly take damage as the enemies can still attack you while you're hitting them; you also have no block.”
