I want to like this game and this would be a great time for a neutral review. Visually it's great and overall the controls are good. I have a big problem with the progression and difficulty spikes of the bosses. It just feels super unbalanced. You can get spells that will just clear the whole screen and then get to a boss that will disappear and spam the whole arena with crap that doesn't have clear cues for you to react to. Hits don't have any weight to them so I often see I'm dead without even realizing i was getting hit.

Compared to other similar games such as Slay the Spire or Hades it just feels like I don't have any say over how my run is going to go. Enemies just do their thing and you can only dodge or hit back and it lacks the precision of a game like Hollow Knight. There are a couple uses for prismium but it seems too rare to even bother spending on temporary shop upgrades. There isn't any metaprogression except for unlocking items which is fine. The only thing that appears to make a difference is being able to teleport directly to later levels after a certain level. I don't really see the appeal of getting to harder bosses when you are significantly underpowered.

Overall, I found this game simply just frustrating when compared to other challenging games where i could blame my deaths on my own misplays.

Everything about this game was nice except my death which happened way too often. Love it. 9/10

Pros:
great gameplay.
the artwork is amazing.
a lot of hours of fun.

cons:
maybe kinda repeat the weapons or powers and beging.
so hard sometimes.
