First impression is of a rather amateurish effort. No graphics or audio options, fixed sound volume way too high, menus inconsistent, DualSense controller stopped being recognized after I quit and restarted.
 
Has the usual modern western pixel art phenomenon of overdoing all the animation--although at least in this they don't go in for hit flashes and gratuitous neon. There is blur and some screen shake though.
 
The thing that actually stopped me is that while the rest of the game and UI is razor sharp, the gameplay graphics are blurred.
 
Also the layout of the opening level is extremely dull, despite the animation and music trying to go really hard, and the feel of the opening bits of action in this wanna-be Castlevania is quite bland.
 
Ah well.
