This is a tough one, on one hand the game looks and plays really well, the controls are lightening fast, movement straight forward but they don't need to be complex, they are really responsive which needed. Boxes ticked then, control, great, looks, great, responsiveness great.
On the other hand and the tough part, for me this game just isn't for me, I am not sure what changed and when but I can't get on with the final versions of the game, that does not mean that will be the same for everyone, indeed this is potentially down to my lack of skill and slow old hands. I have no doubt this game will tick a lot of boxes for a lot of people just sadly not me.
I am not a fan of the the constant spawning enemies, or seemingly constant spawning, I assume this is the respawn timers on the enemies but boy does that timer feel fast; it also seems like you get extra enemies on the respawn too, I was fighting mage, killed it, as I walked away another spawned, then a Lizard man right behind it by the time you have killed that enemy another mage is there and it seemed to go on like that constantly.
This kind of gameplay is going to work for many people, like I said, just sadly not for me but you have to into account that is for me, I don't have the reflexes I used to have and I feel you need good reflexes to play this well. The game is also meant to be hard, very hard and it succeeds at that well.
I can easily say that the game itself is pretty and a well made a passion project by a lovely team of devs that have, for months and months, now have been busy trying to make a great game for everyone, sadly I don't think it is for everyone, though those it is for are in for a treat.
I would recommend it but only if you are looking for that tough, tough challenge!
Backed the game at Kickstarter.
