The main game is quite long too, especially generous considering this is a game made by a small indie studio and retails for 17.99. Just like Souls, you can create your heavy armored mage, or light armored heavy hammer fighter, etc. The combat has that Souls heft, and weapons really do work differently. It follows all the rules: One big unified map, areas locked behind new abilities and locked doors, backtracking, shortcuts, all of that with the combat and leveling system find in the souls game translated beautifully to a 2D platform game. But the real surprise is that it is also a great Metroidvania game. It's just as satisfying as a Souls game, probably not as hard, but still a decent challenge, which is rare in Metroidvania games these days.

I was a bit worried that it would just be a souls rip-off with light Metroidvania elements, but it's not at all. Metroidvanias are my favorite kind of games, and I also love the Souls series and Bloodborne, so this game seemed right up my alley.
