Metroidvania Breakdown

Combat
4.5/5

Combo Based attacks combined with Bullet Hell Bosses make for a frantic series of fights that are sure to test your mettle

Platforming
3.5/5

Has a lot of the mechanics necessary for some deep platforming, but lacks focus - Combat is definitely the greater draw here

Exploration
5/5

World is absolutely full of goodies and you'll want them all. Progression is open to your discretion

Puzzle
2/5

Not really any puzzles that come to memory

Story
2/5

The story serves the purpose of providing a mystery to strive for but the payoff is confusing at best

Graphics
4/5

Pixel art is pretty but low detail. Combined with some high detail character art it gets the job done for differentiating the characters

Music
4.5/5

Catchy sugar coated music reminiscent of the Kirby series

Replayability
4.5/5

Dozens of ways to customize difficulty and many challenge run achievements to go for. Sequence breaking is totally possible
