“I thought this was going to be a decent game because i am a fan of adult swim games, but this is just disappointing. Everything is wrong about this game. It wants to be a 2D dark souls like Salt and Sanctuary but fall short of every game…”
“Oblitus is a hardcore 2d platform game that is inspired by Dark Souls but fails to capture its Essence. It's hard for the sake of being hard without the reward or satisfaction. For a in-depth review check: https://youtu.be/1DSnox1Aqa0”
