I played it exceedingly slow according to How Long To Beat, but I'm not the best at the purposeful combat that seems to be have really taken off in these kinds of games.

Also I was surprised that it was made with Unity and after the news today I hope that studio ends up ok if they actually go through with the proposed revenue scheme.

I played it on Steam Deck and it ran worse than I would've expected. Frame drops and stuttering happened whenever a lot was on screen unless that was on purpose to emulate retro games.

Overall I enjoyed my time with it, but a first it is pretty tough until you can start upgrading your weapons of choice.

It’s a Metroidvania, for anyone else wondering.

OP, do you remember how long it took you to beat it? Did the game keep your interest throughout?

It took me just shy of 20 hours and that's mostly because I was so impatient and died a lot. Took me a long time to realize that jumping over attacks was just better than using the dodge for a lot of enemies.

The game almost lost me right away. It gets so much easier after racking up some levels and a fun weapon have been found.
