User Reviews

Reviewers laud the visuals, soundtrack, and engaging Zelda-like combat, plus a solid mobile port with offline play and a 60fps option. However, repeated concerns include poor or limited controller support, imprecise touch controls without customization, performance bugs on some devices, and occasional guidance gaps. Overall, the game is a strong port with room for improvement in input options and stability.

Pros

Stunning pixel art visuals and a superb, memorable soundtrack.
Excellent mobile port that translates well to touch, with offline play and strong core gameplay.
Engaging Zelda-like combat and exploration; deep, rewarding gameplay.
Performance options like a 60fps toggle and ongoing improvements improve smoothness.
Long-term appeal as an indie classic with high replay value.

Cons

No native controller support and limited compatibility with popular controllers (Backbone/8bitdo, etc.).
Touch controls can be imprecise for dash and platforming; no control customization or fixed joystick option.
Performance issues and bugs on some devices, including sluggish performance, frame drops, and crashes (e.g., dash shop pauses).
Occasional confusing early guidance and lack of in-game explanations.

Recent reviews

This is a phenomenal game, but unfortunately it seems like it has several bugs that make it almost unplayable. the one that I come across the most is that I'd like to use a gamepad to play it, but whenever I press b the game minimizes. unfortunately, pressing b is kind of important. would be happy to give this game a higher rating if it got a few updates to resolve these kinds of issues.

One of my favorite games! But it's been out for a while and they still haven't fixed the controller issue. on Backbone and PS5 controllers, the B (or circle) button causes the game to minimize. I assume this happens with every kind of controller, and it needs fixing. the last review to comment on this was 8 months ago.
