FOR THE PPL THAT ARE CONFUSED ABOUT THE BLOOD DUNGEON GO TO THE GRAVEYARD AND HEAL ON TOP OF THOSE BROWN PILLARS. AMAZING GAME 10/10

I feel like the scythe is really underwhelming since its basically the sword just with a different right click. I think the hitbox should be longer not the same as the sword. And the right click should lock on to the mouse that would make it more reliable instead of trying to guess where to aim the throw just to miss.

Besides that this game is really good keep working on it. This game has a lot of potential to be something great and could reach a bunch of people if some popular person plays it so i hope your working really hard to develop and i wish you the best of luck Mr.Doth.

Score:10/10
ABSOLUTE CINEMA

Watching this game evolve from the sidelines has been amazing.
These are the games that show you don't need a multi-million dollar company to make a good game, its creativity, dedication, and a bit of experience that is important.

10/10, I absolutely recommend for people who like challenging games with aesthetic and punishing gameplay.

(I played the og version of the game.)

Died at the first boss. Is that a Dark Souls reference? Five stars.

You should add a character who is a Vicar named Joe. No particular reason.

this game is awesome! the bosses, the soundtrack, weapons and cinematics. perfect. i had two issues; first is the joystick. some of the weapons like bow and hammer doesn't work correctly (you can't do nothing with them), and the second one is the achievements, already won the game but unlock nothing.
the claws were very good to defeat easily the bosses just pressing RB and RT and it was great to me cuz i get hit by every bullet in screen. amazing game and a very well done soulslike ambientation!
