Reception and Expectations
Reviewers noted the game’s “slow early game” but praised its progression system, where players unlock upgrades like the Sabaton Passive to enhance speed. The game’s “bullet hell” combat, featuring Whirlwind Axes and Boltguns, was highlighted as a key differentiator. However, some players expressed concerns about the difficulty curve, with one noting, I was a lot more desperate for healing than I’m used to.
