A challenging, fresh take on Metroidvania gameplay

I enjoyed playing this game a lot. It was engaging, and combat was satisfying and varied. It has lots of weapons and powers that all felt unique which really allowed you to really find your favorite play style. The game clearly takes its inspiration from Castlevania, which is fine, but it does gets a little close to feeling like an outright copy at some points.

There are a few points were the game gets a little grindy, especially at higher difficulties when you want to farm for specific shards/items. I also got this vague feeling that the game was kickstarted, which I confirmed later it was, because of a weird amount of cat and dog based enemies.

Overall: 8/10
