The general sentiment of the reviews is mixed, with players acknowledging the game's artistic design and atmospheric world. However, significant technical issues and the repetitive nature of enemies dampen the experience for many. The Umbral realm mechanic adds both interest and frustration, contributing to the game's divisive reception. While the game has strengths and has evolved positively, many players note remaining frustrations with enemy variety and unclear navigation.

Positive Points

  • Many players appreciated the visually striking art design and atmosphere, noting that it captured the dark fantasy theme effectively.
  • The combat system is often praised for being weighty and satisfying, with a variety of weapons and spells that allow diverse builds.
  • The Umbral realm mechanics add a unique layer to exploration and puzzle-solving, which some players found refreshing in the Souls-like genre.
  • Co-op play is made more accessible with the Friends Pass, allowing seamless multiplayer experiences and shared progression.
  • Negative Points

  • A common complaint is the repetitive enemy variety, with many players noting that the game reuses the same enemy types and even reintroduces bosses as regular enemies later.
  • There are numerous technical issues, such as frequent crashes and glitches, especially in co-op mode, which disrupts the gaming experience.
  • Players reported getting lost due to confusing level design and inadequate guidance on progression, often requiring external guides to navigate effectively.
  • The game received criticism for its PvP invasion mechanic, which is seen as disruptive and unbalanced, especially for players trying to enjoy co-op.
  • Mixed Points

  • The dual world mechanic (Umbral realm) is a divisive feature; while some find it adds depth to the exploration, others see it as a tedious element that complicates the game unnecessarily.
  • Boss difficulty is a point of contention, with some players finding the bosses too easy and not memorable, while others appreciate the design and feel of the battles.
  • Common Themes

  • The game's artistic direction and visual design are frequently highlighted as a strong aspect, often compared favorably to other entries in the Souls-like genre.
  • Despite the game's technical issues, the developers are praised for their continued updates and willingness to improve the game based on community feedback.
