Apr 22, 2025For fans of soulsvania combat, Mandragora is a must-play for its astounding build variety alone, but that's thankfully not its only good quality.

It’s easy to see the potential in everything from the grim and creepy setting, to the 2D soulslike mechanics, to the metroidvania exploration – but the actual execution of each is only skin deep, trying to juggle too many things at once and falling short for all of them.
