I've died many times in this game but don't get me wrong, this game isn't hard in any shape or form: is just plain boring. Many times I'd see myself just trying to run past the enemies (and would get damaged by trying to do so) because fighting them feels more like a chore than anything else.
The procedurally generated aspect of the games brings nothing to the table and just adds more on the feeling that everything feels like a chore. Depending on the seed you get you may find yourself fighting 2 to 4 rooms of enemies on a narrow corridor and getting nothing at the end of it. If that wasn't enough, you still have to revisit many of these rooms in order to get chests you couldn't otherwise access because you didn't have the necessary spell/item/skill to do so.

The combat is uninspiring and boring. You have your regular straight attack, an air attack which is your basic attack in air and most weapons have a crouch attack. The only weapon I've found that has a different attack pattern is the club, which attacks in a arc. Besides that the only difference you will see in weapons is damage and a minor difference in range and attack speed. There is no directional attack and no special attack so most of the time you will pick the weapon with the most damage output, not one the suits your playstyle (because there isn't any).

The pixel-art is nice, but the only place you will see it at its full potential is the city. The dungeon rooms are dull and empty looking, usually with a ok looking background and your usual chandelier hanging from the ceiling. From time to time you may bump into the rooms that are necessary to progress the story and those are a little bit better looking. Overall, the looks just feels empty and, like something is missing.

If you are die hard metrovania genre fan you may find some amusement playing this game but in my opinion it is an average game at best and a boring, mind numbing experience at worst
