The art and concept for this game are fantastic. However, unfortunately the execution on the idea is rather lacking. For as good as the environments look, they feel empty and full of pointless platforms that lead to

Definitely an "I wish Steam had a 'maybe' review option" situation. As a lover of metroidvanias, I enjoyed this well enough. It has all the things you'd expect: Alternate weapons and equipment, powers that increase

Simple, Elegantly done. Very nice graphics. Music is good and unobtrusive. Honestly, I really enjoyed this game and it scratched a similar enough itch to Symphony of the Night, or any of the DS Castlevania games. Well

It's a Christmas Metroidvania. Odds are those two words alone will have you either excitedly slamming the buy button or closing the window never to return. I really enjoyed this. Some caveats. It seems to have been made

Making a metroidvania staring the reformed Ebenezer Scrooge that use the powers of his ghost friends to fight a capitalist conspiracy threatening the working class is one hell of a premise for a game. Colorful cartoony

The art carries this game hard. I wish there were more markers on the map that showed where to go for quests. I also wish when you got a power that can break walls it would actually tell you it can break walls.
