## AI Review Analysis

Analyzed Sep 1, 2026

### Strengths

- Original art and atmosphere that present Korean mythology and the afterlife as refined Eastern-style dark fantasy
- Multiple spirit masks that can be swapped instantly during combat, each with distinct skills and fighting styles
- Challenging parry-focused boss fights and the enjoyment of learning attack patterns

### Weaknesses

- Unreliable parry detection and controls, especially the short parry window and perceived input delay
- Weak hit feedback that makes it difficult to feel whether attacks connect
- The main campaign and map are short, around 4–7 hours, leading to complaints about insufficient value for the price
