I dont post often (ever), but I wanted to add my 2cp to bump the tread because I'm in love with this game. I'm 4 hours into this and find it a perfect blend of metroidvania and a souls game. If you are a souls fan its a must buy. There's a heavy focus on timing attacks and learning patterns, very tight controls, tons of armor / weapons with upgrading, parry mechanic, stat scaling, magic, consumables, etc. Pretty much all the "souls" type mechanics but in a 2d side scroller. Combat is very satisfying. I love the nice wet crack and blood spray when you catch a skull with the end of your morning star. There are lots of different weapon types with different ranges and movesets. Also has a decent variety of "classes" with different talent trees to go down, daggers, katana, swords, greatswords, maces, hammers, magic, guns, bows, etc. 9/10 for me so far.
