A wonderful, fun game that, unlike other vampire-like games, prioritizes player skill. However, it does have a problem: it ultimately boils down to a strategy of safely moving along a specific path, circling bosses and enemies. I missed the occasional chaotic element that would force me to move in a different direction.
I'm also disappointed with the sword. It feels significantly less useful than other weapons because it has a poor area of effect (I usually try to move away from enemies rather than rush towards them, knowing I'll take damage).
Also, in my opinion, the game lacks sufficient emphasis on abilities other than those that grant weapon and damage.
