Shin is a demon hunter who has lost his memories in a demon-ravaged Osaka. With Lux, a demon who can take the form of a sword and manipulate time, he explores the city and searches for answers about his past.
Fight demons using firearms, swords, whips, and other weapons, and unlock skills as Shin levels up. Lux supports both combat and movement: she can attack, shield Shin, serve as a platform, and restore objects to earlier states.
Explore connected areas, uncover secrets, and take on side quests. Skill points unlock abilities such as double-jumping and map warping; Lux’s powers and the ability to warp between visited map locations also help with navigation and environmental puzzles.
Players who enjoy the game often highlight its polished pixel art, Lux’s flexible sword abilities, and the ability to warp around visited parts of the map, which makes revisiting areas easier. Several also praise the mix of firearms and melee weapons and the boss fights. Some reviewers find the challenge too low, the story predictable or uneven, and side quests repetitive; opinions on the warping mechanic’s effect on exploration vary.
