Khee Hoon wrote to Polygon that the game "revels in the violence and harshness of its battles". The editor criticized the game's excessive violence and also the difficulty of the battles: "It feels as if developer Glitch Factory drew the wrong lessons from the oeuvre of Dark Souls creator Hidetaka Miyazaki, an entire genre of games that thrive on challenging combat but still remain technically fair".
