This game has 11/10 pixel art, great music, lovingly designed areas that are intricate, bosses with complicated attack patterns that are a joy to fight, sublime controls, engaging level design, really on a technical side it's perfect. And on a gameplay side my only problems are that the game is really, really easy, and that the world design is rather scattered, with areas only connecting at single points that the

About the Game

Join Aletheia and a vibrant cast of characters as they race to discover the secrets of the Steam City of Canaan. Clobber armies of Clockwork golems and hunt horrors that slither through depths once forgotten. Thwart the twisted schemes of Canaan’s corrupt overseers, the nefarious Comitium. Fight for mankind’s survival and reveal the dark and dangerous truths riveted into the very foundations of the Steam City.
Step into the shoes of Aletheia and tread the path of the Soldner, an elite mercenary of Irkalla who lives one job at a time. Take up the sword and gun, combining a slew of melee combos and deadly gunplay in staggering feats of skill that will leave your enemies reeling.
Chase down a frenzied mutant charging through the grimy stalls of the Irkallan Black Market, leap across the molten pools blazing in the eternal furnace of Fornax, and fight off hordes of blood-drunk Raiders that prowl the fathomless depths of the Scrap Sea in search of their malignant god.
Canaan is vast, and inside its swirling steam lie innumerable mysteries waiting to be unraveled. After a routine job goes awry, Aletheia sets out on an epic journey to uncover ancient enigmas threatening the very foundations of the Steam City. Challenge powerful new rivals and catch up with old friends as you carve your path through Canaan. Take on side jobs to earn a bit of extra scrap and delve into a history lost to the vagaries of time.
Or maybe you’d just like to wash down your worries at Vincent’s Pub and listen for a rumor or two…
Dash, dodge, and double-jump to keep out of harm’s way and stay in one piece. Wield a furious and fearsome array of abilities and grow stronger with each foe you defeat.
Spend experience points to unlock new skills and trade scrap for accessories to customize your build and go toe-to-toe with some of the most formidable creatures to ever lumber beneath the copper sky.
Hear that? The clang of a hammer stinging blood-red steel… The sinister murmur of heresies rushing through ancient pipes… Riddles echoing through vaulted halls of marble and madness. Sounds like fate has a job in store for you, Soldner—it’s time to earn your scrap.
“Thine trembling works of Reason naught but ingots gleaming darkly by the light of a cindered heart—for what art thine flesh before the mother’s touch of flame?”
- Dreams of the Steam Saint Anais, XXXIV, iii

Short and sweet, shouldve taken me a lot less time to beat the game but i really wanted to enjoy the dialogs and some other side content the game offers, overall i think is a really good game, i might be wrong about this but it kinda looks like this game was developed by a small team and is probably one of their first if not their first project ever, hopefully we get a DLC or a new title in the same universe, next
Like AJ Styles, this game is Phenomenal. Originally I gave this a 10/10 in my book, no notes. Then I remembered that there's a looooooot of dialogue. Brevity was not part of the plan with the writing. It's not as bad, in my opinion as folks are complaining. It has a tone and sticks to it, even if the ending is forced. I'm bumping down to a 9 this is my favorite metroidvania in a hot minute, and I don't think is
