The verdict
A Souls-lite take on Darksiders with great art and interconnected level design, but a clunky camera, no map and punishing combat divide players. Skip if you want the hack-and-slash of Darksiders 1 and 2.
Great for
Players who like Souls-lite combat, Metroidvania exploration and dark fantasy art, ideally on sale
Main risk
Souls-style combat, bad camera/lock-on and no map clash with what Darksiders 1-2 fans expect
What players love
Interconnected Metroidvania level design
Mentioned in ~1 in 8 positive reviews
“The interconnected map makes exploration feel meaningful, constantly opening up new paths as you gain abilities, and rewarding curiosity with plenty of hidden secrets.”

No map makes navigation frustrating
Mentioned in ~1 in 8 negative reviews
“Dying - If you die, you teleport to the last saved Serpent Hole. This wouldn't be so bad, if you had a map. That's not included in this game.”
