Tried this game today.

Setup: Keyboard and mouse. Ultrawide monitor. Kept fire on smart, but switched aim to manual as gameplay felt more engaging this way.

Gameplay Log:
Completed Easy difficulty (Seeress).
Played Normal difficulty (Seeress) and died. Underestimated how careful I had to be compared to Easy difficulty.

Steam Game Time: 31 minutes

First Impressions:
The game looked good, but I initially missed that there was a dash. It was funny because part way in I said this game has the feel of an action RPG except it's missing a dash. A few minutes later, I saw the keybind for dash to the far left of my screen.

The first boss on Easy was underwhelming. But I didn't reach the boss on Normal difficulty, which was actually difficult.

One problem I had with the game was not giving sufficient hints regarding various keywords. This made selecting skills difficult for a first play through.

At the end of the day, I'd much rather just play an action RPG.

Demo Rating: 2.8 out of 5
