I tried it for around 2 hours, and it just doesn't click

 

Storywise it's very wordy for a metroidvania, so far it's fairly average, nothing memorable.

 

The sound effects sound muffled at times.

 

Gameplay wise, it was okay at first, but then it became cumbersome:

- To heal you need to use 'Pulse' where you throw the sword at enemy with a dedicated button, and then attack the targeted enemy to heal. Which is a roundabout way to heal.

- The combat requires charge attacks, and often the game will throw you a numerous enemies that requires 2 - 3 charge attacks to be stunned. Worse is that, if you accidentally moved left or right while unleashing charging attack, you'd end up dashing.

- The platform is kinda slippery
