The verdict
A gorgeous, creative Heretic-style boomer shooter with inventive magic weapons, varied episodes and a great soundtrack. Skip it if you want deep, punchy combat or dislike platforming and mazey levels.
Great for
Boomer shooter fans who love Heretic/Hexen vibes, striking art direction and inventive weapons
Main risk
Combat feels repetitive and unimpactful, with confusing levels and annoying platforming
What players love
Creative, distinct magic weapons
Mentioned in ~2 in 5 positive reviews
“Your starting weapon is a sentient axe that hates evil and magnetically pulls anything evil towards it to chop into pieces. Your rocket launcher fires planets pulled randomly from space.”

Confusing, mazelike level design
Mentioned in ~1 in 7 negative reviews
“Very exhausting, puzzling, levels that can take upwards of 15-20 minutes to complete each level, sometimes more if you get lost because there is no map you can look at for some reason.”
