Okay, where to begin? This is a small one or two-man company, and it is painfully apparent they are still learning this is a BUSINESS when you charge money, not their own personal hobby anymore. Visuals, music, and ambience are WONDERFUL! Game is HORRIBLY overpriced. You are looking at ~3 hours of playtime, nonsensical design, unengaging combat. I bought the game for exploration and the drones (I LOVE drones). Drones cannot be replaced or built, last for 10 seconds, and die when taking ANY damage. This means they are no help against bosses or MOST OF THE COMMON ENEMIES! I do enjoy the fact enemies DO respawn if you walk offscreen. Needed for farms. THERE IS NO MOUSE SUPPORT!!! Nope, not even in the menus! Almost unforgivable, in my opinion, especially in a $20 game! And my first games were on an Apple II... I honestly cannot recommend this game. I understand why things are the way they are, but this is a $5 game at most. I don't care how enchanting the retro visuals, audio, and whatnot are. If you cannot even program basic mouse support or BUILD ENOUGH OF A GAME TO JUSTIFY THE PURCHASE PRICE, keep developing it for another year and reveal it when you actually have something to offer. Charging money is a tricky thing - it DRASTICALLY increases expectations. Expectations this game has failed. "A" for effort, visual style, music, and ambience. "C" on actual game design functionality, combat, menus, and so forth. "F" on length, controls, pricing, pickups, weapon and item variation, weapon and item usefulness, etc. This game simply wasn't ready for release. Now the dev is on Steam saying "well, I WANT to add in New Game + and more stuff, but if sales aren't so good and I don't have money, I guess I'll just have to move on to other projects..." Dude, who the hell will want your other projects if you abandon THIS one? Please, PLEASE research "Kickstarter game fraud". That is the kind of stench you DON'T come back from. Not without a lot of pain!

It's interesting, fairly simple side-scrolling shooter/hack&slash. Quite easy, which is pleasant, except Some Bosses are infuriating difficulty spikes. Love the art style, reminds me of the old Blade Warrior. Unfortunately easy to get lost and not know where to go. And picking this up after a period of not playing makes that worse.
