This game feels like an extremely solid Metroidvania title, in a similar vein to the Souls (Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Bloodborne) series.

RUtM features extremely tight and precise controls and gameplay, with an excellently natural difficulty curve that is punishing but not unfair or discouraging. While low resolution, the sprites are fantastic with a lot of detail, charm, and nuance behind them. The soundtrack is also phenomenal, helping set the mood for the game's backdrop. The game features a large open ended world, with a large amount of backtracking and exploration as you'd expect from the genre, including a large number of shortcuts. (Much akin to Souls titles)

Overall I can't recommend this title enough. It feels like there's been a bit of a drought for solid Metroidvanias, and this game has succeeded in delivering something wonderful. The game is charming with a lot of love put into it, and is sure to please any fan of 2d exploration-heavy platformers.
