Game looks better than it plays, unfortunately. Finished in on PC a few months ago.
Level design isn't good and difficulty is all over the place.

Is it anything like the old Dreamcast game? I loved that game.
No, it's side scrolling metroidvania. Also, your boots don't clank, clank, clank. Nothing like the Dreamcast game.
Shame. I loved the way you levelled up your weapons and stats in that game. So addictive. Graphics and difficulty curves weren't the best so it really could do with a remake.
Some dude wrote down what happened in his D&D campaign and it became a popular anime.
That's not me snarking on it.
Touhou Luna Nights is a better game, but I still enjoyed playing this one. If it ends up on Gamepass like Luna Nights I will give it another go.
Yes it felt a bit rushed.
I didn't play it when it was in early access but the difficulty doesn't feel balanced at all, especially the bosses.
I'll double dip, I love Team Ladybug and this may be the closest I get to SotN on Switch for a while. XD
Touhou Luna Nights was definitely a wonderful surprise for me through Game Pass. I'll definitely pick this up on XSX at some point. Touhou Luna Nights was pretty short, is that also the case for this game? There are definitely times where I just want to play short games, and this may well fit that bill.
I already played it, as others have said it's not the best Metroidvania but it's gorgeous and if you are familiar with the source material then I easily recommend it.
It's also not that long, according to Steam I finished it in around 5-6 hours.

This is what I'm hoping for. Heard too much disappointment about it to fork out dough until it hits deep discount otherwise.
The recently released Castlevania Advance Collection is the closest you'll get to SotN on Switch and it's available now.
Already have it, playing through CotM currently! I know RoLW doesn't *actually* play like SOTN, just making a joke due to the game's surface level similarities.
While I don't consider this game to be very replayable, I have to say that it changed my perception of how a game like this should play. I feel that I (and probably many other people) have a really weird "style" to playing games like this in that I jump around a lot to negate how the game wants to stop me in my tracks whenever I attack. I also hate digging around in menus. Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth solves both of those problems, and it feels very fresh. It shows that you can think outside the box with respect to the amount of power you give players at the start of the game while still balancing that power with suitable obstacles. The level design is totally fine, and it's on par with or better than what you typically find in games of the same genre.
Seems OK but doesn't control very smoothly. Jumping feels off. And mmaahbe it's a design thing, but it uses some crazy pixelation effect that reminds me of Puzzle Fighter HD, where the character models were just blown up sprites. I'll give it another go, though, just to get used to the controls at least.
Played a bit on Xbox and it good so far. It is pretty wild how much it's just SotN.
I've already played through it on PC through Steam, but I bought it on Xbox. There's constant screen tearing when the screen scrolls on Xbox Series X. It's very distracting.
Which Xbox console are you playing on, and are you noticing any issues with screen tearing when the screen scrolls?
Finished it in one sitting and really liked it, even better than Touhou Luna Nights.
This game is pretty much a SotN reskin with much simpler mechanics but improved combat. The level design is serviceable, and the difficulty is rather low except for the last four or five bosses, which can be a bit challenging.
I love how Team Ladybug keeps trying different ways to make metroidvania combat more engaging, and I enjoyed what they did here, but probably not as much as in TLN.
The only real peoblem I had with it was the constant screen tearing whenever the camera panned, both horizontally and vertically. Seeing every element on screen being distorted almost 100% of the time was pretty bad, not gonna lie. I played it on the Series X, and I hope other platforms aren't suffering from this.
Anyway, good short game. A bit flawed, yeah, but it has heart and isn't another metroidvania with Souls mechanics.

Playing on a Series X and I honestly haven't noticed it. I do have a VRR TV though so maybe that is why.
