This game is awesome, it deserves to be much more popular and admired

I've played many metroidvanias and I don't remember any that has caught me like this one, it's one of those titles where you start a game to take a look and when you want to realize it, six hours have passed.

And yes, I understand most of the criticisms that are made to the game, that there could be more variety of enemies, that the upgrades could feel more powerful, that the tileset is not as varied as it could be, that sometimes it is not easy to know where to go (this is the reason why many people complain about the backtracking) but even with all this, the truth is that it is still one of the most addictive games I've tried in recent years (and I'm not just talking about the metroidvania genre).

I've seen reviews and comments saying that the game is boring... I can't disagree more. It's also true that I'm talking about the current version (1.2) I've seen that the last two updates have added a lot of improvements and maybe that's the cause of some of the negative reviews (in fact it currently has a 100% recommendation rate in recent reviews).

In short, I just wanted to leave this message here in support of the developers because it seems to me a great injustice that this title is not getting the recognition and exposure it deserves.

If you've been here looking for some information about whether it's worth a chance, don't think twice.

Hey thank you for your kind comments, much appreciated!

That's true that the game is performing under our expectations, at least on PC, on consoles it is working a bit better.

To be fair the game had some issues at launch which frustrated a part of the users, resulting in reviews not being as good as they should be, which obviously hurt the sales, but we listened the community and tweaked the game accordingly, updating it often post launch, and as you said, now it seems that reviews are on the right path.

We lost the boost of the launch, so it is late for the game to be a hit, but with the reviews we have now, hopefully the game will perform good enough in the long run.

A game developer that sounds like a human? How rare!
