Metroidvania Breakdown

Combat
4/5

Bosses truly put your positioning and gunplay skills to the test. Level design remains interesting even when congested with monsters

Platforming
3/5

Traversal Style platforming not intended to be a primary challenge.

Exploration
4/5

As the world opens up there are many rewarding secrets to discover

Puzzle
3/5

Not a focus

Story
2.5/5

Very straight forward ''stop the ghoulie'' plot. The theming is a weaker part of the game.

Graphics
4.5/5

Gorgeous Pixel Art as we've come to expect from WayForward

Music
4/5

Strong atmospheric music matching the spooky setting.

Replayability
2.5/5

There's an achievement for beating the game without dying, but not much to change the experience other than that.
